Greetings! Sorry for the lateness of this report. I blame work.. like usual.

Anyways. Few things to pass on..

CA:RO Shay'la is rather I'll thanks to a bad case of the Flu. So she is down for the count for a week, hopefully not more. I know we all wish her a quick return!


Today I sent off an email to Mr. Aron Allston. I requested an E-mail interview and also if he would be willing to become an Honorary Member. I really pressed this latter point as much as I dare. I explained that he didn't have any duties he needs to preform and that basicly, Honorary Member means he's just a friend of the EH. Hopefully this time he will accept the bai... errmm request! O :)

Anyways, That's all I have this week! Time for SW News!

Clone Wars Cartoon Heading to DVD?

Zap2it features an article on the Clone Wars cartoon. Here's an excerpt:
Copies of the shorts are guarded fiercely, although they will soon be released on DVD and on a paid Web site. George Lucas, known for his secrecy regarding this franchise, gave strict directives on what Cartoon Network could do with the story.
The cartoons are well done and richly detailed. Computer animation is only used when the spaceships move because hand-drawn art would have been too tedious to do, particularly under a tight deadline, Genndy Tartakovsky, director and producer, says. Animated characters closely resemble their film counterparts, but they were not intended to be mirror images.
Will we see the first 10 episodes on DVD in time for the Holidays? Who knows. Hit the link above to read the rest of the article. Thanks to cnu nick for the alert.

First Jedi on Galaxies

If you don't already know, in order to become a Jedi in Galaxies, you have to unlock a Force Sensitive Slot, with which you can then create a character who has the ability to become a Jedi. The trick is, no one knows how to unlock the FSC. But, someone managed for the first time just now.

It's Happened: The First Jedi!
Here come the Jedi - the First Force Sensitive Slot has been unlocked! News of this monumental event has been received today by our game masters. More information will be released in the future, but know this: more Jedi are very likely to follow. May the Force be with you first few...you are going to need it.
-StarWarsGalaxies.com
Thanks to Robert for the e-mail.
Update: Robert sends in more info. Check out swg.allakhazam.com for info on Monika T'Sarn who opened the first FSC slot, as well as several screenshots. Here are some excerpt details:

" She started with a mineral survey kit, a chemical survey kit, brawler newbie clothing, and a generic crafting tool. She had to make a lightsaber crafting tool, then make a crystal, then make a saber. She says that making the second saber is buggy and does not accept her newbie saber as an ingredient.
" AP rating Medium, Damage type Kinetic, 94-189 damage 1.4 speed and HAM cost of 5/5/5
" Her Jedi has the same HAM as the rest of the characters
" She is not TEFed unless she USES A SPECIAL, so she can walk around town freely otherwise
" There are two different types of XP on the skill tree ... lightsaber XP and Jedi XP
" When asked asked how she trained her first skill ... she said that there is a trainer (not a Holocron) that she gets the skill from. The trainer is in Wayfar. The Jedi trainer is disguised as an artisan trainer

There is a lot more info on the site including how she says she unlocked the FSC Slot.
If you find any more info on this (or other Galaxies news) Send it in! (As I cancelled my account I do not have access to the message boards)


======================================================

That's it for me this week. There was some KOTOR and Jedi Academy news Items, but nothing really new or exciting. Check theForce.net for any additional news items. (face it, they rock at that!)
