Visual Guide Update – Master Replicas
Posted by Pete | July 20, 2006 at 10:13 PM ET |
The

look we had at a lightsaber that did not have to have a straight hilt in order for
it to we wielded and quite awesome looking! The elegance in this saber lies in the
simple yet detailed design that Dooku thought spoke of how refined a man he was.

Still
having a problem storing your growing collection

stand that allows for verticle, flexible, and
creative display possibilities. This allows
your saber to be displayed neatly among your
other collectibles and still stand out (as the
ultra-cool FX sabers should). Visit Saber-Stand.com
today and pick up a free stand for every 4 you
buy!

Clone Wars Vol. 1 DVD Review
Posted by Joris | July 09, 2006 at 02:38 PM ET |
Many fans felt that the prequel movies didn't include enough of that good ol' Clone warmongering ... and luckily for those fans and all others, Lucasfilm Ltd. decided to fill that gap by crossing over Anakin Skywalker and Samurai Jack in to a Clone Wars Cartoon micro-series!
In the meantime, the series has been released onto two DVD's for a little while already and is adorning the movie libraries of most Star Wars nutters. But maybe not yet yours? Have you doubted to add the Clone Wars Cartoons DVD to your collection?
We here at JTA decided to give anybody two good reasons not to dwell on doubt anymore: JTA reader Embra's personal DVD review and a short summary article of the first DVD's content! Go find out for yourself...

Star Wars Experience – The Star Wars Expo
Posted by Joris | July 08, 2006 at 06:28 PM ET |
Would you get strange fantasies about Leeanna Walsman if you'd be able to touch the speeder she was flying through the Coruscant air? I sure would and I did!
Paris, France was (and still is, until end of August) host to "The Star Wars Expo", which displays a handsomely large number of movie props and concept art objects from our beloved Universe ... of course, JTA was there to see, feel and smell it all firsthand too!
As mentioned, touching the air speeder brought your reporter pleasant images to mind ... you wouldn't want to take a whiff of the Weequay suit, though...Live it as if you were there yourself!
