Star Wars At Comic Con 2008 Posted By Mike on August 6, 2008
Comic Con 2008 is upon us and you can check out the links below to features on the main site getting you geared up for the big event. Don't forget to also keep up with Rebelscum's coverage right here!
"As it does each year, Lucasfilm will have a major presence at San Diego Comic-Con International, dominating the convention floor space with a huge pavilion celebrating all things Star Wars, with special attention given to the next exciting chapter of the saga: the all-new animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie and television series.
Throughout the convention, the pavilion will be the place to visit for must-see Star Wars items from Lucasfilm and its licensees, as well as certain special events:
Official Pix will host Star Wars Saga autograph guests throughout the show.
DK Publishing will have special author signings throughout the convention. Please see DK booth for schedule.
Mimobot will award a Star Wars costume contest winner live every day at 3:00 pm.
Hallmark will give away a 2008 Keepsake ornament every hour throughout the show.
Another key event at the convention is the Star Wars Fan Movie Awards Ceremony. On Thursday, July 24 at 8:30 -- 10:30 pm head to Ballroom 20 to see the finalists and award winners for the annual Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge. Who will win the coveted grand prize and be selected by George Lucas as the best of the best? And which one will win the fan's choice award (don't forget to vote here).
The big day, though, is Friday, July 25 -- Star Wars day. Here's a run-down on events slated for that day."

The Man Who Shot Luke Skywalker Posted By Dustin on August 27, 2008: Many of you probably don't know Photographer Kim Simmons, but you will recognize his photography of vintage and modern Star Wars collectibles. He has opened up a website right here where you can now order prints and posters of his nostalgic photography so many of us grew up with over the years. We (The Ohio Star Wars Collectors Club) had Kim as a VIP guest at this year's Summer Social and I must say the prints he has are amazing to see first hand!
Disturbance At The Lars Homestead Boxed! Posted By Curto on August 26, 2008: For your viewing pleasure, here's a new boxed photo of the Disturbance at the Lars Homestead set. This set includes repacks of Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, a Sandtrooper, a moisture vaporator, an all-new baby womp rat, and the Lars domicile! Anyone who thinks this set is inspired from the legendary fan-film TROOPS....you're not alone.
