Daffy Duck Creating Clones

The infamous Duck Dodgers is creating clones in an adventure titled Attack of the Drones. The cartoon features recognizable characteristics of Star Wars and Men In Black. However it is not a direct imitation of Star Wars AOTC. In the cartoon Porky Pig appears as Daffy's sidekick. Wonder if the Sith will cut them to shreds?

Star Wars Sales On Top

Star Wars toy sales are over double what they were last year. Star Wars toys sold two to one since the release of the AOTC line. Hasbro Star Wars action figure sales were the number one toys of the year. In second place was Hasbro's line of lightsabers. The lightsaber sales were also over double what they were in 1999.

Insider Episode III Update

In the Star Wars Insider Issue #65 the Ep. III Update states very little about what will happen. Right now progress is in the art department. 1,500 preconceptual works are completed. There is an estimated 10,000 works to be completed. McCallum had little to say being that he does not know much and what he does know he can not tell. He did tell the Insider that they would be using a new camera to film. The camera is apparently the best of the best. It will bring a higher image quality to Episode III, better than Episode II. Nothing has been published about this camera so McCallum was reluctant to tell much to the Insider.
