Episode
III Spoiler: New Character Revealed!
Thanks to the
guys at aintitcoolnews, it appears the details of a new
character have been revealed! These details could probably
be construed as
spoilers, so I won't devulge alot in this post. You
can read up on the specifics
at this
link- I will however give one hint on the character: C-3PO
makes
reference to the character in Episode IV: ANH. Thanks
again to AICN, and thanks
to the folks at millenniumfalcon.com for pointing it
out!

BTDT
Flashback: Star Wars SSP Vans
Back in
the 70's, when Star Wars was still young (along with most of its first
generation fans), a toy line from Kenner was out that was
a a must-have for
any little boy. This toy line was known as SSP,
which stood for "super sonic
power". The line actually began in the late
'60's/early '70's with the dawn of the
Smash-Up Derby.
These toys were a blast for kids, and a nightmare for parents.. Why
you ask?
Well, they came with a heavy-duty plastic ripcord that you
fed through the toy,
and upon pulling it, the toy would let out a shriek that unveiled
its "super sonic
power". The "shriek" was actually
the main wheel of the toy spinning at a high
RPM, and upon setting the toy on the floor, would allow the
vehicle to make
.5 past lightspeed.. You can rest assured that sisters
hated 'em, pets ran from
'em, and parents needed prescription drugs to tolerate 'em!
So how does this have any relevance to Star Wars? At
the height of the SSP
timeline, the fad of teens driving souped-up vans (I believe
dubbed
"love machines"), and the debut of Star Wars, made
this an ideal time for Kenner
to roll out one more SSP variant. The result was
a pair of vans, black and white,
that sported Star Wars graphics in an airbrushed type motif. You
can view a
pair of them still in the box here.
On a day like today, when the weather is cold, and the Star
Wars newsfeed is
slow, I thought it might be nice to share a Star Wars memory
with our reading
community. Hope you've enjoyed today's flashback..

Palpatine
Spoiler Image: Take 2
In yesterday's
news, we credited MillenniumFalcon.com for their post of a pic of
Chancellor Palpatine from the upcoming Episode III. As
of today, another pic was
added to the thread, which you can see here. As
always, thanks guys for the
added
excitement!
For
those of you who are in the vicinity of Chicago, IL, and have not yet
gotten to see this show, the next performance will be tomorrow,
January 23, at
6:00PM Chicago time. Tickets are $19 each, and
can be ordered by calling
773-935-6100. They can also be ordered via the
Apollo
Theatre website.
Some
absolutely amazing news has been posted at The
Official Site- The
figure offered at this year's Celebration III event will be none
other than Darth
Vader himself. But what makes this particular figure
different from the rest, is
that this one includes the voice of the true life of Vader, James
Earl Jones! The
figure will speak 4 lines relevant to the Star Wars saga,
as well as allow the
breathing feature like the one included in the voice changer
helmet. Is that
a nice update or what??!! Let
the Episode III hype begin!
UPDATE: preorders
have already begun for this figure on eBay
.

"Your
Tauntaun Will Freeze Before You Reach The First Marker.."
For those
of you not on the East Coast, we thought we'd share that this part
of the country is bracing for a snowstorm that will make our
region look like Hoth
itself. Local forecasts are boasting anywhere from
10-20" accumulations,
depending on location. Should make for a pretty
white weekend..
So what's the good news about this? It's a great
time to break out those
AT-ATs and do up some dioramas! As
a matter of fact, we'll run a contest off
of this.. Set up your best diorama in the snow, take
a pic, and email it to
us
here at BTDT.
The person who creates the best outdoor diorama will receive
20 FREE REAL
action stands for their '95 and up action figures, compliments
of REAL Stands!
Along with your pic, be sure to include your name and zip code
for us to
verify. Good luck, and let it SNOW! (contest
for East Coasters only- sorry!)
Episode III: The Spoilers Continue
The
gang at MillenniumFalcon.com
has done it again- Today's main page reveals
a tidbit on Yoda, and a moment of his in the spotlight in
Episode III. Also, in
their Forums appears the following spoiler
pic! For some reason, their spoiler tips never
seem to make it to the big leagues, so we here at BTDT are proud
to share their findings with you. Spoiler-wary
readers, you know the drill..

Samuel L. Jackson Refuses Film Opportunity
Our friendly-neighborhood Mace Windu has declined on a role in a new film
being directed by Jim Sheridan, because of the inclusion of rapper 50 Cent.
Jackson was quoted as saying:
"Hollywood
people think because one is successful in one aspect of
entertainment, they can bring them into this particular world
and make
a success out of them.
"These people think they are worthy of you sharing time on screen
with
them. I don't particularly think that. Maybe if 50 Cent does five
movies
and shows me some talent."
I
think we have a wise man in the house!! And here I thought
I was the only
one who thought that way about Hollywood... Thanks Sam!

In the most recent posting of the New
Zealand Herald, it appears that a new
spoiler image has been revealed of a character from Episode
III! If you've seen
it, sorry for the posting- If you're not looking at Spoiler
articles, then "move
along; move along"- But, if you are
checking spoilers, and you haven't seen this
one yet, then at least we've made someone happy today...
Also, for those who do look at the image, is it
just me? Or does the
character look more masculine than they should? Only
the local bikini waxer
knows the truth..

"I
Don't Fear"
Although this post is somewhat similar to the one below
regarding the appearance

website has been created, which displays the spoiler images
we have been
highlighting in past news posts, as well as another not
shown before. Remember,

to know. But, for those of you
