Yoda Chronicles writer Michael Price has been chatting with our friends across the pond at RebelForce Radio about the next episode of the show, and who we should expect to see in that episode.

"The second one will air either towards the end of the summer or the beginning of the fall, and the third one will air more towards the end of the year. But I think they're really fun, they continue the story of the first one, with what's going to happen with this new character Jek and how the Jedi respond to it and what will Dooku and Palpatine and Grievous do to win the war. I can't tell you too much more about it, I know you guys are big fans of the Clone Wars and there's a major, I think, Clone Wars character who has a nice little cameo in episode 2. He's a certain bounty hunter who wears a big hat. He has a little moment there, and somewhere along the way, and I'm a big fan of obscure characters, we have a nice little moment from one of my favourite characters Poggle the Lesser."

The print is limited to 150 pieces and features silver metallics and is available now from ACME at DarkInkArt.com now!

To officially clear up any lingering confusion there may be pertaining to the title of the game, EA Games boss Patrick Söderlund has confirmed that DICE's upcoming Star Wars Battlefront will indeed be a brand new release.

“This is DICE’s interpretation of what Battlefront should be. That’s the best description you can have,” he told Eurogamer. “There are absolutely things in the previous Battlefront games that you’ll recognize and remember, but DICE wants to put its own flavor on it. That’s the only way we can do it.

“Hence it’s called Star Wars: Battlefront, without a 3 at the end. We want to say it’s something new. But again, it’s going to be very Star Wars and very cool.”

Enjoy the latest official blog post by the man in the hat himself, Mr. Dave Filoni.

If you have followed the Clone Wars TV series over the years you will no doubt be familiar with the names of some of my team who are, for the most part, behind the scenes. When I was first making my transition from traditional hand drawn animation to the possibilities CG animation offered, I was very concerned with how the drawings Kilian Plunkett and I were doing would be realized in three dimensions. How did we solve this problem? Enter design artist and sculptor Darren Marshall. Darren has been a member of the Lucasfilm Animation team for eleven years. Predating the creation of The Clone Wars, Darren was part of a special team of artists who were pitching animated concepts to Lucasfilm. When I came in to direct The Clone Wars, Darren was about to leave, believing his time at Lucasfilm was over, since it is rare to have a sculptor on a television series. However, when I saw his work, I knew that Darren would be able to make the critical translation between line art and three-dimensional form work. Simply put, Darren defined the style of the characters on Clone Wars, and has done so as a critical part of the design team for the past eight years.

We've heard that tonight's episode of RebelForce Radio will feature some breaking news about Episode VII!  This is what Jimmy Mac and Jason Swank will be discussing...

Doug Chaing is back working on Star Wars for Episode VII!  He started the year working on Jurassic Park 4, which has been postponed, but about a month ago he moved on to Star Wars.  He’s working as an independent contractor and he’s pitching various ideas with the hope of being brought onto the project full time.

JJ Abrams is working closely with the art department at ILM as well as making script revisions as things move forward. There’s a small ILM team working on the art and as things get more involved on the production this work might completely shift away from ILM to Bad Robot!

Sounds intriguing!  Tune if for the latest episode of RebelForce Radio later today...

Wishing our good friend and the worlds largest private collector of all things Star Wars a very happy birthday! This photo was taken last Saturday at Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World during the motorcade parade. Have a great year Steve from all your friends at Jedi News. You can keep up with Steve on Facebook or at Rancho Obi-Wan.

Talking of birthdays, yesterday would have been the 84th birthday of Ralph McQuarrie (another great friend of Steve's) - gone but never forgotten...

If you’re reading this, you know the rest of the story so far. George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney in late 2012, and Disney immediately announced that it would milk the Star Wars franchise for all its worth, including making the fabled Episodes VII-IX. As of this writing, we still don’t know the whole story, but I hope you’ll allow me a small measure of conjecture.

My guess is that the Star Wars bug had bit George Lucas again, hard. But a few things stood in his way. First was his age. He was getting older, and while some of his contemporaries are still working feverishly, I wouldn’t blame him for worrying about his health. Especially since making these movies are notoriously stressful to him. The fact that a vocal minority of the fanbase completely turned on him and poisoned the public conversation probably didn’t help matters. He’d be understandably fed-up. But it’s still his baby in the end, and he’s fought hard to maintain the ability to make his movies his way. While he’s been determined to say his role in VII-IX is minimal, I would be very surprised if he takes such a big backseat.

Film industry heavy-weights George Lucas and Steven Spielberg offered up some pretty eye-opening thoughts on where the future of movie entertainment is headed during a panel at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

Spielberg had this to say:

“There’s eventually going to be a big meltdown,” Spielberg said. “There’s going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen of these mega-budgeted movies go crashing into the ground and that’s going to change the paradigm again.”

And The Maker himself said the following:

“You’re going to end up with fewer theaters, bigger theaters with a lot of nice things. Going to the movies will cost 50 bucks or 100 or 150 bucks, like what Broadway costs today, or a football game. It’ll be an expensive thing. … (The movies) will sit in the theaters for a year, like a Broadway show does. That will be called the ‘movie’ business.”

BBC America, home to Orphan Black, Doctor Who and more, will continue on its sci-fi bender with a four-part docuseries exploring the genre.

The cable network and BBC Two on Wednesday announced My God, It's Full of Stars: A Journey to the Edge of Science Fiction (working title), a four-part entry that explores popular themes in the genre. Each hour of the co-production will feature specific themes: time travel, the exploration of space, aliens as well as robots and artificial intelligence.

"This is the story of science fiction told by the men and women who fell to Earth," BBC America noted in a press release announcing the news. "From HG Wells' War of the Worlds to The Terminator, from Doctor Who to Star Wars this series will guide viewers through a rich, thought-provoking and endlessly exciting genre."

Michael Poole will exec produce for the BBC, with Richard De Croce and Rachel Smith overseeing for BBC America.

The series comes as BBC America has found success with its Supernatural Saturday-themed programming block that includes Doctor Who, Orphan Black -- starring Critics' Choice best actress Tatiana Maslany -- and Chris Hardwick's The Nerdist.

A rumor report posted over on SchmoesKnow states that an anonymous source (would it be any other way?) has leaked the potential plot details for Episode VII.

The source claims the film will revolve around Jaina and Jacen Solo from the Expanded Universe.

Storyline: Two 17 year old twins, a girl and a boy, are trained by their uncle Luke to be the greatest Jedi’s in the galaxy. Problems arise when the male twin turns to the dark side.

Jaina Solo – Female, 17 years old, lead – Jacen’s twin sister, one of the greatest Jedi’s in the galaxy, trained by her uncle Luke Skywalker.

Jacen Solo – Male, 17 years old, lead – Jaina’s twin brother, one of the greatest Jedi’s in the world. A loner who is constantly struggling with the idea of what’s right and what’s wrong. Starts to turn to the dark side. Full of conviction that what he is doing is the “right thing”. Will eventually become Darth Caedus.

Anthony Daniels spoke with the gang at Bleeding Cool about the forthcoming Episode VII and his potential involvement in the film.

BC: So… have they come to you about Episode VII yet?

AD: Well…What I always say to that is “Wait and see.” Let’s keep the suspense going. One of the people at Celebration will be Kathy Kennedy, the most loved person. She comes to Lucasfilm with an astounding history of film production and she’s also a nice person. A rare thing in a film producer, one feels. She’s hyper-intelligent, kind, clever, all of those things. And very very rich. So… I’m sure she’s a lady of discretion and taste who will listen to you. I want you to find her at Celebration and say “I was talking to Anthony the other day, and you realise Star Wars wouldn’t be the same without him.” Then see what she says. She’d probably have you arrested.

BC: So they haven’t spoken to you yet?

AD: I’d rather not comment. You will recall I’ve always had a rather discreet attitude, or a professional sense of discretion. I don’t blab things about the script. I think that would be very unprofessional, or childish. Let the films, stories and so on unroll as they should, when the audience first sees them… or, strangely, when they buy the tie-in novel some months before the film comes out.

A short whole ago during their live press conference at E3, Electronic Arts announced (actually, more like briefly teased) a new Star Wars Battlefront game will be coming down the pike.

The quick 20-30 second teaser opened with a first-person view showing the "player" stumbling across a snowy Hoth-like world with wreckage off in the distance. Suddenly, blaster fire screams across the screen and a snowspeeder comes crash-landing down not far from your view.

And to cap off the teaser, a close-up of an AT-AT leg appears, the large circular foot raising up and slamming down in front of you as the screen cuts to black with the word "Star Wars Battlefront" on the screen.

What's interesting is that the title of the game is simply listed as Star Wars Battlefront and not Battlefront III as was widely expected. No word yet if this is going to be considered a completely new Battlefront game or a continuation of the existing series, thus prompting the need for the "III" designation.

Stay tuned for more news as we hear it on this exciting new game!

9th July isn't far away and that's when Crucible hits the shelves. For a sneak peek at 27 pages of the novel, click here then click on the orange 'Look Inside' image and get reading.

Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, and Luke Skywalker return in an all-new Star Wars adventure, which will challenge them in ways they never expected—and forever alter their understanding of life and the Force.

When Han and Leia Solo arrive at Lando Calrissian’s Outer Rim mining operation to help him thwart a hostile takeover, their aim is just to even up the odds and lay down the law. Then monstrous aliens arrive with a message, and mere threats escalate into violent sabotage with mass fatalities. When the dust settles, what began as corporate warfare becomes a battle with much higher stakes—and far deadlier consequences.

Now Han, Leia, and Luke team up once again in a quest to defeat a dangerous adversary bent on galaxy-wide domination. Only this time, the Empire is not the enemy. It is a pair of ruthless geniuses with a lethal ally and a lifelong vendetta against Han Solo. And when the murderous duo gets the drop on Han, he finds himself outgunned in the fight of his life. To save him, and the galaxy, Luke and Leia must brave a gauntlet of treachery, terrorism, and the untold power of an enigmatic artifact capable of bending space, time, and even the Force itself into an apocalyptic nightmare.

With the worlds largest trade fair for computer and video games, Electronic Entertainment Expo, more commonly known as E3, starts tomorrow and the world of Star Wars gaming may well come back into focus. This is a surprising turnaround from 3rd April when Lucasarts was closed down as an internal developer.

Following on from yesterday's look at EA, let's speculate on what could be on EAs release slate…

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy recently sat down with WBIR to discuss her career, her path to Lucasfilm and her continuing aspirations in the movie business.

With Kennedy now in command of the Star Wars juggernaut, which soon will fire up filming for J.J. Abrams' much-anticipated Episode VII, it would not stretch credulity to call her the most successful woman ever to make movies. Though that just brings another laugh.

"Success is always a matter of some luck and timing," Kennedy says in an exclusive interview, while sitting in her elegant, Mission-style offices on the top floor of Industrial Light & Magic, the fabled special-effects house that was part of Disney's $4 billion Lucas purchase last October. "Just like this new job."

Kennedy says she never anticipated taking over for her philanthropically focused friend, "but it felt like George was giving me this phenomenal opportunity to step into something that had all the making of what I'd done throughout my career, plus this wonderful new array of opportunities.

"The movie business is changing at an amazing rate. So to have an intellectual property like Star Wars and now be inside a company like Disney, I get to have a seat at the table where we talk about the globalization of the business, new markets, new audiences and new platforms. I'm just incredibly curious about it all."

Here's the latest HUGE newsletter from our site sponsors at Toy Palace featuring lots of new products and pre-orders...

Take a trip over to Club Jade where Jawa James conducts an interview with Dark Horse editor and Dark Times writer Randy Stradley.

Jawajames: The Fire Carrier story arc of Dark Times brought back a favorite character, Master K’Kruhk, who we hadn’t seen in a while — what was it like getting to continue his storyline into the era of the Empire?

Randy Stradley: Well, since I created K’Kruhk (he first appeared as a Padawan in the pre-Episode I series Jedi Council: Acts of War), it has always been fun to get back to him — especially as he has gone on to such a long and illustrious career. But the Fire Carrier arc is something I knew had to happen right after I finished writing Dark Times: Parallels. I knew I couldn’t just leave K’Kruhk and his younglings on a jungle moon somewhere. I had been trying for some years to get a “hidden temple” story off the ground, but it could never quite come together. This arc provided me with the chance to put K’Kruhk in a hidden temple — someplace where it would make sense that he might sit out the Rebellion and its aftermath. There’s a story to be told about why he eventually leaves the safety and seclusion of Arkinnea, and what happens to his Padawans. But the Star Wars galaxy is vast, and there’s nearly a hundred and fifty years between Fire Carrier and when K’Kruhk needs to show up in the Legacy era.

The team over at Star Wars Underworld have posted this rumour - and remember, it's just a rumour - about the possible return to schedules of Star Wars 1313.

Could Star Wars 1313 have new life? After the shut down of LucasArts earlier this year it was believed that all Star Wars projects it had been working on had died with it, this may not be the case. A leaked document containing a list of all the projects that will be announced during E3 has appeared on the Spanish website Area Jugones and on that list is Star Wars 1313 (sadly there is no mention of Battlefront 3).

Now remember, this is just a rumor and needs to be taken with a major grain of salt. That being said, it's pretty exciting to see EA continue work on what was such a hotly anticipated game. Could it be that the announcement of Star Wars Rebels had something to do with this? Both projects are set in the same time period which could lead to some cool crossover.

Artist Timothy Anderson has created a trilogy of pulp Star Wars novel covers, finishing here with Damsel of the Dune Sea.

It comes out 15th October, it's by Dan Wallace, Ryder Windham and Jason Fry and it can be yours for just $59.99 if you pre-order from Amazon. it's The Bounty Hunter Code: From the Files of Boba Fett.

When legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett met his untimely end at the Pit of Carkoon, the Rebel Alliance discovered a secure, blast-proof bounty hunter’s case holding Boba Fett’s personal items. For years it remained hidden away. But now all who wish may unlock the secrets held within...

Press the buttons, insert the data card, and the case opens with sounds and lights. Housed within is a text of great import. At some point in his career Boba Fett bound together the latest edition of the Bounty Hunters Guild Handbook and a manifesto from Death Watch, the secretive splinter group of Mandalorians. Together, these volumes make up The Bounty Hunter Code.

The handbook is an essential guide for all bounty hunters. Senior Guild members offer advice for hunters new to the Guild, a detailed list of the tools and techniques crucial to the “crimson trade,” and the basics of making a living on the margins of galactic law. Boba Fett has scrawled additions and commentary in the margins throughout, as have the bounty hunters Greedo, Bossk, and Dengar, all of whom were once in possession of the Handbook.

The Death Watch volume—part informational guide, part manifesto—is full of Death Watch history, philosophy, and discussions of key Mandalorian gear: their famous T-visors, their celebrated armor, and their impressive jetpacks. This Death Watch booklet was originally taken from Death Watch leader Tor Vizsla and given to Boba by his father, Jango Fett, and features handwritten notes from father to son. Boba in turn intended to leave it to his daughter, and so he’s added his own annotations to aid in her education. The bounty hunter Aurra Sing and the pirate Hondo Ohnaka have added their commentary as well.

Tucked beneath The Bounty Hunter Code is Cradossk’s memoir, Making a Killing, a brutal account of his rise to the top of the Bounty Hunters Guild.

From the creators of Book of Sith and The Jedi Path, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, The Bounty Hunter Code reveals the secrets of the hunt and offers insight into this demanding, dangerous, and misunderstood profession.

The case includes:

• The Bounty Hunter Code
• The 48-page memoirs of Cradossk, former head of the Bounty Hunters Guild, with an inscription from the author to Boba Fett
• A Kamino saberdart
• Boba Fett’s captain's license
• Boba Fett's arms permit
• Slave I ’s official operating license
• An Imperial wanted poster for Han Solo
• An inventory slip from the Rebel Alliance forces who discovered and seized Boba’s property

Eric Musco took the official forums to clear up some information about the transfers. A transfer will cost 1800 Cartel Coins per character and can only be paid for using the currency. Once the transfers are live players can head into their My Account page on swtor.com to transfer their characters. If your name is already taken on the destination server then you will be forced to rename before you can log in.

Musco added that all Legacy unlocks, Achievements, and Collection information will be transferred along with your character and if you have a Legacy on the destination server also then the one with the highest level will become your Legacy level.

Finally there will be no way to transfer entire guilds, players must individually transfer and then create a new guild on the destination server.

Many happy returns today to the president of Lucasfilm, the Executive Producer of Episode VII and the woman behind the return of Star Wars to the silver screen, the TV and every concievable size inbetween. It's Kathleen Kennedy's birthday and we'd like to wish her the very best for a wonderful day.

Graphic designer Tom Ward dropped us a line to bring to our attention some fantastic Google Earth-style images he has designed, showing us familiar locales in the Star Wars universe. Here's Tom.

Hi Mark, I'm a graphic designer who loves all things Star Wars and thought it would be fun to recreate some of the classic scenes in a Google style.

I’ve done my best to use locations where the original filming took place in Tunisia, Guatemala, Norway and California.

Thought your readers might enjoy seeing them.

I'm certain they will, the gang here at Jedi News certainly did.

He's been a coffee table, an ice cube tray and now he's a light switch. We wonder how long Princess Leia will take to realise that this is the best way to turn Han Solo on...

This is a working UL approved switch installed in the crotch of an icon of pop culture, Han Solo in Carbon Freeze. It can be installed directly to the wall over an existing switch outlet. It may be a bit dirty.
