Master diorama artist (and the guy who is going to help collectors create a Hasbro figure-sized Echo Base at Celebration V) Frank "NiubNiub" D'Iorio has put up more of his tutorial work to help YOU see how it all pieces together. Hasbro is donating a LOT of schwag for this feature event (and participants will get to take home goodies like the new supersized AT-ATs and even a BMF). So check out the video, and start planning on getting crafty at Celebration V in Orlando, FL.

 Comic-Con Maul v. Owen Comic 2-Pack Review
7/15/2010 9:51:58 AM | Reported by Adam_May
In one corner we have an embittered Sith Apprentice (Lord?) and in the opposing corner we have the grumpiest, crustiest geezer on Tatooine! In this Comic-Con 2010 EXCLUSIVE Comic-Book 2-Pack, who will emerge victorious? (Spoiler Alert if you've seen freakin' Star Wars: A New Hope.) Why, oh why, didn't Rancheros de la Lucas resurrect Darth Maul for Revenge of the Sith? His ultimate betrayal and demise would have been so much more satisfying than the gasping, dying (but somehow still alive) General Grievous! Read on for more!

 Blogger: Celebration 5 - SURVIVE
7/13/2010 6:34:55 AM | Reported by Adam_May
So here’s the breakdown — I live in “Hotlanta” now, but I was born and braised in Florida. I lived in Orlando (tip — don’t call it “O-Town”) and I’m going to cut through all of the shiny, sunny public relations spiel to give you advice that you’ll need to survive and enjoy Star Wars Celebration V. Being anywhere in Florida, in August, it’s swelteringly hot. It is really up to you to stay cool. If someone doesn’t gauge the HVAC to combat the blistering heat outside, then add in a throng of "unconventional conventionists" (to borrow a phrase) and things can become rather uncomfortable.

7/12/2010 5:24:42 PM | Reported by Adam
What's worthless, posed strangely, and undesirable? No, not your prom date! It's Jar Jar Binks from Attack of the Clones, a bizarre figure that manages to make a bad collector figure for a kid character that doesn't look like he does in the movie. What a winner!
