ON SALE NOW! Columbia Unveils New Star Wars Parka
on December 7, 2018 at 12:01 amPosted In: Sponsor News, Star Wars News
ON SALE NOW! ON SALE NOW! ON SALE NOW! ON SALE NOW!
On Friday, Dec. 7, Columbia Sportswear will release the new Star Wars™: Empire Crew Parka, taking fans behind-the-scenes with a limited edition jacket inspired by the original worn by cast and crew in 1979 while filming the iconic scenes of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back on ice planet Hoth.
Nearly 40 years ago in the frigid wilderness of Norway, a small group of cast and crew filmed several of the most recognizable scenes from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. They needed winter gear to keep them protected from sub-zero temperatures encountered on location. Their jacket featured a unique design that currently makes it one of the most sought-after items among Star Wars collectors. Now fans can go behind-the-scenes with Columbia’s limited edition Star Wars™: Empire Crew Parka.
The Star Wars™: Empire Crew Parka pays homage to even the smallest details of the original design while incorporating Columbia’s weather-defying technologies to help protect against the most extreme winter conditions.
The Details:
- The officially licensed jackets will be available, while supplies last, on columbia.com/StarWars starting at 12:01 am EST on Dec. 7 and in-store (during retail hours) at select Columbia-branded retail locations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
- This is a technical high-performance jacket that features a waterproof, breathable and critically seam-sealed outer layer to protect against the elements, while the Omni-Heat™ thermal-reflective lining and insulation keeps you warm. Features include a removable, adjustable hood with removable faux-fur trim, two-way collar, ribbed comfort cuffs, wrist zips and multifunctional pockets. The unisex style sells for $500 USD.
- Select U.S. stores are also carrying a handful of parkas signed by Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in the film. Fans can purchase a signed jacket for $1,980 USD, and all proceeds of that sale will be donated to charity.

Even on the frontlines of the Battle of Geonosis, the first major Clone Wars conflict between the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic and the Separatist droid army, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is a composed, precise fighter and leader. Striding across the dusty battleground that’s the center of the new Star Wars Battlefront II update, it’s clear that the legendary warrior’s style makes him a master of defense and a worthy addition to the fan-favorite game.
Now you can follow Obi-Wan into battle, join the 212th Attack Battalion, and take on General Grievous himself while dominating the legendary battleground, get behind the controls of a massive six-legged AT-TE battle tank or gain a tactical advantage to disarm one. StarWars.com spoke with Battlefront II assistant producer Michael Dailey to help you master the Jedi’s abilities, traverse the harsh terrain, and emerge victorious to begin the Clone Wars.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Hollywood writer and director has announced the death of his wife and longtime collaborator, Gloria Katz, who co-wrote “American Graffiti” and helped give Princess Leia her power in “Star Wars.” She was 76.
Willard Huyck told the Hollywood Reporter that Katz died on Sunday, their 49th wedding anniversary, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after battling ovarian cancer.
The couple shared an Oscar nomination with director George Lucas for “American Graffiti” and secretly doctored his script for “Star Wars.” The Reporter quoted Katz as saying they shaped Carrie Fisher’s Leia into someone who “can take command,” not “just a beautiful woman that schlepped along to be saved.”

DESIGNING STAR WARS: CYBORGS, TWISTED AND EVIL
on November 27, 2018 at 1:11 amPosted In: Star Wars News
Via StarWars.com:
The look of Star Wars is unlike anything else in popular culture. Step back in time to explore the history and philosophy behind the concepts that define the galaxy far, far away in Designing Star Wars.
In a galaxy embroiled in conflict, where wars rage between peaceful ideals and a lust for power, the internal struggle of mechanically-altered men is a microcosm of the battles surrounding them, the clash between darkness and light.
Concept art by Warren FuFlesh-and-blood intermingles with machine to allow these badly injured warriors to fight another day, yet irrevocably alters the core of their characters. In prolonging basic life-support, the organic creature deep within the metal exoskeleton becomes barely recognizable, assisting autonomic function in a body that is too far gone to exist otherwise.
Beginning with the mysterious helmeted figure of Darth Vader, himself more machine than man, and continuing to the more recent resurrection of Maul, no longer a Sith yet building a new life through the aid of myriad metalized parts, cyborgs have struggled to maintain their identity, while reflecting the greater hostilities surrounding them. Each one forces us to consider – when the natural world is fused with unnatural elements, how much of the character’s essence truly remains?

Here’s a dish worthy of serving up to his high exaltedness, the great Jabba the Hutt. The Great Pit of Carkoon in the Dune Sea may be the nesting place of the voracious Sarlacc, but this one is filled with meat, spices, and surrounded by buttery puff pastry. A much better meal to be slowly digested over a thousand years.
You’ll need:
- 2 packages (4 pieces, total) puff pastry
- 2 baby potatoes, boiled
- 1 egg plus 2 teaspoons water, for egg wash
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, divided
- Slivered almonds
Filling ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper

Star Wars Park Will Have Original music from John Williams
on November 17, 2018 at 4:06 pmPosted In: Star Wars News
Via TheVerge.com:
When Disney’s Star Wars land Galaxy’s Edge opens next year, it’ll come with a familiar soundtrack — Entertainment Weekly reports that John Williams will provide the score, and has a preview of what to expect, along with looks at two of the park’s big experiences.
The first of EW’s videos shows off a new behind-the-scenes look at the park’s construction, revealing an extensive array of buildings and landscapes, set to a music that is the “overarching theme” for Galaxy’s Edge. EW also previews a pair of videos that highlight the main rides for the parks — Smuggler’s Run, set aboard the Millennium Falcon, and Rise of the Resistance, set onboard a First Order ship.
The construction video shows off a sprawling world called Batuu — which we’ve seen a bit of already in Timothy Zahn’s recent novel Thrawn: Alliances — and in particular, a village called Black Spire, described as a “remote trading outpost” in the midst of a forest of petrified trees. The score is epic and sweeping, and it certainly feels like it belongs to the Star Wars universe. Hopefully, Disney will release a companion soundtrack for those of us unable to visit in person.
The two additional videos show off detailed and immersive experiences. For “Smugglers Run”, visitors will board the Millennium Falcon, and will pilot the ship away from Batuu, taking on one of three roles to ensure “the mission is a success.” The video for “Rise of the Resistance” shows off the finished interior of a First Order spaceship, complete with Stormtroopers and droids as a Resistance fleet drops out of hyperspace just outside. EWsays that the experience will show off “what it’s like to be caught in the crossfire of a deep-space battle between the First Order and the X-Wing dogfighters” and that visitors will be able to fight against Kylo Ren.
