Greetings EH!
Alot of stuff to talk about, so let's get to it.
First off, for all SGCOMs, You are all here-by tasked to send me one paragraph describing your Subgroup. We are updating the leaflet for Celebration III. I need a really good description from each of you. GAs Ronin and Ast have already OK'd this. I need this paragraph by this coming Wed. FA Cyric and GM Gelton, I need atleast 3-4 paragraphs from each of you for your respective Subgroups. I have to send in the new leaflets to LucasFilm for approval so I need those in ASAP!
The pricing thus far for the EH banner, leaflets and bumper stickers 100x4 types of stickers will cost me around $577 (I dont have the number infront of me)!! GA Ronin and FA Sarin have already pledged a healthy amount but more might still be needed. I will ask GA Ronin if any money sent will count towards a EH Beneficiary notation.
Now, I am officially taking names for anyone who plan on attending Celebration 3 and who plan to help out with the booth. All those interested, even if you told me in the past, to email me at ro@emperorshammer.org with C3 Booth Help in the subject. I will be taking names until a week before Celebration 3 for a spot, but if you email me after that, i'll probably accept you anyways. :p
I will need people for ALL four days, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sunday. I believe it will be from 10am till 7-8pm at night every night of the celebration. Depending on how many people will help out, the time at the booth will be as minimal as possible. I'm hoping for only one hour shifts, but if not enough people show up, it might be longer. But I hope not. Myself and my nephew (who recently joined the EH) will take several shifts during the entire time, but we need to get out and have fun too. I will appreciate any help we get.
SGCOMS!! Forward this report or at-least the Celebration 3 related material to your members!!!
Now, on to some fun stuff..
Star Wars News:
----------------------------------------------------------
Unfair Advantage?
Intec has announced a set of 8 wireless controllers (4 for the Xbox and 4 for the PS2) to coincide with the upcoming Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith title. What's a little unusual is how the controllers were made in collaboration with a game developer (LucasArts, in this particular case).
The controllers feature a turbo button, dual vibration motors with an on and off switch, rubberized grips, a 3-position rumble switch and auto-sensing technology that allows for up to 16 players to play without interference.
As an extension of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith game, players will encounter instances during the game's lightsaber battles where the sabers will become "locked" with their opponents blade. When this happens, those with an Intec controller can hit the dedicated lightsaber button and quickly gain the upper hand! Quite an edge against your buddy with the regular controller... Players can even program combination moves into one button.
Republic Commando CD Single
Rebel reader Dennis reports finding a CD single by the band Ash that hold ties to the upcoming Republic Commando video game.
I came across an interesting collectible item for the upcoming Clone Commando game, it's an alternative rock song, aptly called "Clones", by the group Ash, you can actually hear part of the song in the intro they have when you first go to the Republic Commando site. They've released an EP, titled "Commando" for the song which features a clone from the game, "Sev", on the cover and on the back of the insert, as well as the disc including a PC demo of the game and a music video for the song. The video is your typical product tie-in video, with footage of the band mixed with footage of the game. I've known that the band are Star Wars fan themselves, their 1996 album is titled "1977", an important year to many, and they have their own rock rendition of the Cantina Band song on their album "Cosmic Debris".
