Sure, hotels and buildings all over downtown San Diego are wrapped in advertisements for upcoming superhero movies and popular television shows, but at the heart of the San Diego Comic Con show floor is all STAR WARS. You look at the schedule for the entire convention and it is riddled with STAR WARS events. You might say the Skywalker saga is something of the backbone of Comic Con. This was made evident on Day 1 at the Pop culture event as new and exciting facets of the STAR WARS universe were unveiled to the public.
In the morning Lucasarts & Microsoft unveiled an all new STAR WARS X-Box360 Kinect bundle that contains the STAR WARS Kinect game, and a limited edition R2-D2 themed X-Box360 console, a C3PO themed game controller, white Kinect device, 320GB hard drive, and wired headset. The bundle will be available for the Holiday season and will retail for $450. You can pre-order it right now at most retailers.
According to all accounts the STAR WARS Blu-ray booth is a sight to behold. Inside, guests are able to view clips from the films inside of a rebel base themed video array. By all accounts the films look absolutely pristine. And many people have commented that the original STAR WARS film, Ep. IV: A New Hope has never looked so good. The other great thing about the blu-ray set... DELETED SCENES! Thats right all those legendary deleted bits you have heard about but never seen will be there to behold. Lucasfilm released this new sneak peek of what can be expected.
Thursday afternoon fans got a sneak peek at the upcoming 4th season of Cartoon networks critically acclaimed television series, STAR WARS: The Clone Wars. Supervisiong Director Dave Filoni(Cowboy hat), was joined by CG lighting/FX supervisor Joel Aron, and other members of the Lucasfilm Animation crew. Actor and Robot Chicken co-creator Seth Green(brown baseball cap, foreground) even crashed the panel, which he is actually rather well known for. They were all joined later in the panel by a group scary looking ladies dressed as the shows feared Nightsisters.
Now you get to see what fans at SDCC saw yesterday. This truly gorgeous clip from the an upcoming 4th season episode which features Anakin's apprentice Ahsoka Tano, looking more mature than ever.The clip also features the debut of Katee Sackhoff, best known to sci-fi fans as Starbuck from the modern Battlestar Galactica series, as the shows first female Mandalorian warrior. Season 4 of the Clone Wars premieres this fall.
...And then there is this little gem. I always wondered what this battle would look like. Thats's all I'm going to say. Well, I might mention something about the EPIC underwater battle of Brave-Heartian proportions! There. I said it.
