$271.2MMAs my neighbor always says, "You can lie about numbers, but numbers don't
lie.." That proverb definitely holds true when it comes to Episode III. Sith is
still in the lead, ahead of Madagascar and the other newbie films out there,
passing the $271MM mark, and, as Obi-Wan says, "always on the move".
Thanks goes out to Cinescape for the stats.

anything you have the
privelege of doing today. And it's all thanks
to them..

Ani Goes BananasNo, this isn't a post on a forthcoming Herbie The Love Bug movie (although
there is one coming). Cinescape debuts a new member to the Star Wars
realm, who goes by the name of C.C. Banana. He apparently got to ask Lucas
a question about how Jedis die at the recent event, Celebration III. You can
check out the article here. And I thought it was corny dressing up as a Royal
Guard...

eBay Tip Of The Week: The Star Wars Collector Database
Ever wish you had a log of all of your figures, ships, and
other Star Wars toys?
Or, how about a one-stop-shop database for your Star Wars
store, that already
had all of the Star Wars toy UPC and serial number details,
so you could keep
a better handle on your inventory? Well, if either
of these scenarios apply to
you, then you need to check out this
auction on eBay. This online database
allows you to take the info on your existing toy collection
or inventory, and
add it right in. And, in many cases, much of
the information on those figures
and related is already in there! Check it out.
For those of you who subscribe to Toy
Shop magazine, the newest issue
is arriving to mailboxes now. This most recent
issue includes an article
regarding the impact of the Star Wars toy line on the consumer
toy market,
surpassing those of other competitors.

"Use The PHONE, Luke..."
So, have you dedicated fans ordered your exclusive Star
Wars phone
Amazon has it for a steal, so be sure to check it out if you
haven't already!
At a recent car show, this beast turned up and I had to
get a pic. The car is
either a '68 or '69 El Camino. However, if you
look at the windshield, you will
see the car bears the title "Dark Vader". I
think Vader himself would appreciate
this speed demon. Click

to the world of Star Wars..
I am proud to say that I too fall under that category. And,

"What a piece of junk!"You may recall the above being Luke's first thoughts on the Millennium
Falcon, when he saw it in docking bay 94 in Star Wars: A New Hope..
So now the big question: did YOU see the Millennium Falcon in Episode
III? For those of you who go to watch the movie again soon, be sure
to watch below the ship that Anakin brings in for a crash landing in the
beginning scenes of the film. There's a ship toward the lower end of the
screen that you might just recognize...

Dedication
I have to mention that today, I got to go see Episode III for the second
time (within 12 hours for that matter) with my father, who is 62 this year.
My father played a HUGE part in getting me involved with Star Wars,
which I have recently learned was the case with many of my readers as
well.
Here is a pic of me and my Dad from today's 12PM show, as we stand
under the Episode III sign. And don't mind the fact that it looks like I got
less than 8 hours of sleep, because I DIDN'T! Thanks again, Dad..

The night before the release of a Star Wars film is just about as good as
Christmas Eve. Some of you may be staying up late tonight to attend the
midnight premiere, but many of those in the working community have to wait
until tomorrow after work to join in on the fun. Wherever you are or whatever
you do in your daily requiem, if you're a Star Wars fan, this is an exciting time
regardless.
As the clock winds down, I hope that you share with me the excitement and
anticipation, as we await the arrival of Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith..

Star Wars And Iraq: Six Degrees Of SeparationIn a recent interview at CNN.com, it is mentioned how the development
of the Galactic Empire can be paralleled to events in both Iraq and Vietnam.
I don't really think Nam vets, or those over in Iraq really want to compare
their experiences with Star Wars, but I'm sure one could definitely find some
overlap if they really wanted to. I'm just glad it didn't point back to Kevin
Bacon- Click here for the full article.

Fandango Entangle
Apparently, some folks who have purchased their movie tickets for
Episode III via Fandango have been getting updates indicating although they
placed an order for tickets, they still might not be getting them after all..
My advice is, don't wait until the night of the film to get your tickets out of
the machine. Print them out ahead of schedule, and have them in hand the
night of the show. Also, I can't stress enough to get to the theatre early
for the time you are scheduled to see the film. It has been rumored that
Fandango has also sold more tickets in the past than the capacity a particular
theatre can hold. Don't let the moment get ruined by some 16-yr old
zit-faced theatre manager who reviews your issue, shrugs their shoulders
without a care, and smirkingly says "sorry". That's how people get shot..

One Week Left...
Well folks, we're just one week away.. So many things go through my mind
as the last bit of sand runs out of the hourglass. It's been a wild ride to
say the least, and I hope that you all have enjoyed the anticipation as
much as I have. The road to Episode III has been a tough one, as I didn't
know what to expect after being disappointed by Episode I, and somewhat
let down by Episode II. However, being a spoiler checker, I think we're
going to come out on top with this one. Join me in riding out this last week
of waiting, as Episode III comes soon to a theatre near you..
