1 comments



CONTEST INFORMATION

Jimmy McInerney (Jimmy Mac) and Jason Swank of RebelForce Radio are once again teaming up with the "Customs for the Kid" blog to host a "Star Wars: Smuggler’s Bounty" custom action figure contest to commemorate the "Star Wars: Smuggler’s Bounty", the radio drama that was recorded live at Celebration Anaheim.  The radio drama is based on an original script by Kyle Newman and F.J. DeSanto. "Star Wars: Smuggler’s Bounty" was directed by Kyle Newman (Fanboys) and produced by Jimmy “Mac” McInerney of RebelForce Radio, who whipped up over 100 sound effects and music cues that were blasted live onstage alongside some of the best Star Wars voice actors around today live to a packed audience of diehard fans at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.   The last custom action figure contest that was held for "Star Wars: Smuggler's Gambit" was a huge success, so this one is sure to be fun for all involved.  Show them what you can do!




First time customizers are greatly encouraged to jump in on the fun. We want as many entries as possible. This is an ALL AGES event. 

ALL ENTRIES received will be displayed in a video at RebelForceRadio.com and on the "Customs for the Kid" blog.




RULES

-All custom action figure entries must be of characters that appear in the Star Wars radio drama "Smuggler's Bounty". Custom action figures can be in any scale. 

-Participants are encouraged to submit as many entries as they wish. Please include 1 - 4 photos per custom action figure submitted (Front, Back, Left, and Right).

-Include your email, name, and mailing address, with your entry.

It only takes a few seconds to email a few pictures. Especially if you have already photographed it. SHOW US YOUR STAR WARS ART!

'Star Wars: Tarkin' Audio Excerpt Read by Stephen Stanton

0 comments
By: Dominic Jones

Nerdist has released a brand new audio excerpt from the recently released novel Star Wars: Tarkin read by Star Wars: The Clone Wars voice actor and friend of The SWU Stephen Stanton!  It was also produced by another friend of ours, Jimmy Mac from RebelForce Radio!  Stanton portrayed Tarkin in several episodes of The Clone Wars.  The novel is written by James Luceno and available now.  Check out the excerpt below,


It's great to hear Stephen reprizing his role from The Clone Wars.  I love that they're continuing this trend of having Star Wars voice talent read excerpts from the novel and hope they continue it as we move forward with the novels.  This has previously been done for the "Legends" novels: Kenobi (James Arnold Taylor), Razor's Edge (Cathering Taber), Maul: Lockdown (Sam Witwer), and Honor Among Thieves (David Collins), as well as the canon novel A New Dawn (Vanessa Marshall).

Sam Witwer Reads 'Maul: Lockdown' Excerpt

0 comments
By: Dominic Jones

Entertainment Weekly has continued their series of Star Wars novels excerpts read by voice actors from The Clone Wars animated series and produced by Rebelforce Radio's Jimmy Mac.  This time Sam Witwer (voice of Darth Maul) read an excerpt from Joe Schreiber's recently released Maul: Lockdown.   The reading not only features Witwer reading the excerpt and reprisning his Clone Wars role for Maul's dialogue, but he also slips into his Darth Sidious voice (whom he played in The Force Unleashed video game). On top of that, Jimmy Mac added fantastic sound effect and music to enhance the experience.


It's fantastic to see this series of audio excerpts from the novels continuing, not only because they're incredibly well produced and preformed, but also because they keep The Clone Wars cast active in the fan community after being amazing ambassadors for the show to the fans during its five year run.

Be sure to check the previous readings by The Clone Wars voice actors below:

Rumor: Billy Dee Williams Involved In Star Wars Rebels

0 comments
By: Benjamin Hart

It's always refreshing to get rumors about something other than Episode VII. Here we have one about the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels. It comes from Jedi Council Forums member "IG-2000", via MakingStarWars.net, who claims to have attended Billy Dee Williams panel at Rhode Island Comic Con and noticed something interesting:

"I attended Rhode Island Comic Con today. Billy was charming and funny as usual but he didn't seem too on point and rambled occasionally, and at one point rambled on about something, the only thing I caught out of it was "Rebels... oh wait I'm not supposed to talk about that am I?""

Our friends at RebelForce Radio also got word from another attendee who confirmed a similar experience.

Rebels takes place about 5 years prior to Episode IV: A New Hope. Of course, the most obvious choice for a character for him to voice would be Lando Calrissian. Could Billy Dee play a younger version of himself at this point? Or could he be voicing a completely new character? Billy Dee has continued to be active in the Star Wars franchise recently, continuing to voice Lando, and other characters, in Robot Chicken and the Lego Star Wars TV specials. No doubt he would jump at the chance to be a part of the Rebels cast if asked.

As always, nothing is official until we get an announcement from Lucasfilm. File this as a rumor in the meantime.

"Razor's Edge" Excerpt Read by Catherine Taber

0 comments
By: Dominic Jones

If you enjoyed James Arnold Taylor's reading of an excerpt from Kenobi, well we've got a treat for you!  Entertainment Weekly has another such reading, this time featuring Catherine Taber (Leia in The Force Unleashed and Detours, and Padme on The Clone Wars) reading an except from Martha Wells' new novel Star Wars: Razor's Edge.  And they've taken it a step further this time.  Jimmy Mac, co-host of RebelForce Radio, produced the clip and included, unlike the Kenobi excerpt, features classic Star Wars music and sound effects.


After hearing Taber read the novel, I must say, I hope we get to hear her as Princess Leia in the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels.

Rumor: Clone Wars DVD/Blu-rays Coming October 15th, 'Bonus Content' Not Included

4 comments
By: Benjamin Hart

Our friends at RebelForce Radio have acquired some "insider info" on some upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars DVD/Blu-ray releases as well as the infamous "bonus content". They posted the following on their Facebook page:

Clone Wars Season 5 DVD Release Date Info: RFR is hearing inside info that Season 5 is scheduled to be released in the US on 10/15/13 and WILL NOT include any "Bonus Content" episodes. There is also a Collectors Edition of Seasons 1-5 that will come out at the same time, again no "Bonus Content", but it will contain a book. This title is scheduled to be announced on 7/26, so it should show up on Amazon on Friday. This season will have a really cool picture of Obi-Wan on the box.... We are also hearing that no "Bonus Content" video or info will be announced at [Celebration Europe II]

The collectors edition and book sound awesome. And if you're one of the many anxiously awaiting news on the the remaining episodes of the Clone Wars, a.k.a the "Bonus content", this is both good and bad news. It's encouraging to know that it will have it's own special release and not squeezed into the season five set as, just that, bonus content. But on the other hand, we have been patiently waiting for Celebration Europe in hopes that more would be revealed about the Bonus content there. If this opportunity passes without any word on when & how it will be released, our next, and foreseeable last, chance to get info on it will be Disney's D23 Expo in August.

Even though Jason & Jimmy Mac at RebelForce Radio have never steered us wrong, we still have to take this as a rumor until an official announcement comes from Lucasfilm.

Dave Filoni: Rebels' Animation Will Be "Different" From Clone Wars

6 comments
Dave Filoni with a Stormtrooper maquette from Star Wars Rebels
By: Benjamin Hart

Our good friend Jimmy Mac recently interviewed Dave Filoni on RebelForce Radio and, as usual, Dave had a lot to say. For those who don't know, Dave is the former Supervising Director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and is now Executive Producer of the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels alongside Greg Weisman & Simon Kinberg. Aside from discussing the Clone Wars' bonus content and almost confirming that those in attendance at Star Wars Celebration Europe II will indeed get a first look at Rebels, Dave gives us some hints at what the new series will look like:

"It's not gonna be like Clone Wars, it's gonna be different.... In some of the very early development for Clone Wars, one of the things I really wanted to try and do was capture the look of Ralph Mcquarrie.... Clone Wars kinda developed it's own style and George wanted a very unique look to the faces of the characters and the angularity... Here(in Rebels) we can just kind of apply what we learned on Clone Wars and what was successful and what wasn't and I can really attack what I really wanted to before, which was really getting to that look that Ralph achieved much more directly in a much more defined way than we ever did on Clone Wars" And later he added; "This time we're going more with an animated style."

I highly recommend listening to the entire interview(& show) which begins around 1:06:30. Rebels talk starts just after 1:34:00.
