StarWars.com Officially Announces EU

Today Starwars.com announced in a press release that all previous Star Wars content outside of the six theatrical episodes and the six seasons of the animated series The Clone Wars as Expanded Universe.  This of course comes at a time when Lucasfilm, and its new adoptive parent Disney, are in the process of creating a sequel trilogy which is set to take place in an era of Star Wars which has already been documented in novels and comics.  So in order to eliminate this issue Lucasfilm's story group has chosen to streamline by making all future stories in comics, television and novels as canon thus making most everything that has been released in the past Expanded Universe. We have an unprecedented slate of new Star Wars entertainment on the horizon," said Kennedy. "We're [...]

When Seattle, Star Wars & Comicon Collide

Just over two weeks ago From 4-LOM to Zuckuss attended and presented at Seattle's Emerald City Comicon.

Endor’s Red Shadows Secret Base

In 2010, The Official GI Joe Collectors' Club offered a couple of exclusives at their annual International GI Joe Convention held that year in Providence, Rhode Island.  One of the exclusives offered should look familiar to many long time Star Wars action figure collectors.  The Red Shadows Secret Base, which was limited to only 500 pieces, was created from the 1997 The Power of the Force 2 Endor Attack playset.  The Imperial's shield generator bunker was converted years later into a secret base for the terrorist group Red Shadows, a group which originally were the Cobra-like villains for the UK version of GI Joe; Action Force. The following photos are from Yojoe.com, the definitive site for all things GI Joe action figure related. Its [...]
