Amazing fanfilm (in 3-D)

Strap on those glasses, because that image proves I'm not lying.

Whip out those old-school 3D glasses (with the red and blue) if you want to be astounded.  This is the story of that jettisoned shipment which Jabba was so upset about- taking place before Episode 4 (A New Hope).

"This is the winner of "Best Animation" from the Star Wars Fan Film Movie Challenge, sponsored by Lucasfilm."

Just in case you don't have the glasses, the regular version is below.  But I assure you, the 3D really works and is very cool.  The crawl comes right off the screen.

Want this painting?

This is the item in question; obtained from the TCG (SWG "Trading Card Game").

Card Number: 3SWGP3

This painting is a reward for completing the Mad Zoo TCG scenario from Thursday, August 26, 2010, through Thursday, September 30, 2010.

The first time it's beaten, you get the loot card and a wamprat card from the game.  For each archetype you win with (Rebel, Sith, Imperial, Jedi), an additional wamprat card is obtained...making a total of four wamprats and one Hoth poster.

Remember it's just until the 30th of September.  I'll be glad to try helping teach the game if you contact me.  And in case you did not know...  All SWG accounts have a free tie-in to the card game.  And each account "in good standing" (meaning paid up) receive 5 free packs of cards each month.  

May the Force be with loot you!

Citizens I'd like to have

Don't get me wrong...  I enjoy Solaria's citizens VERY much.

But wouldn't these people give the city just that much more flavor?  At least those who behave inside city limits.

Star Tours 2 (irl - sort of)

For all of you who remember Star Tours, it's coming back in a big way if you haven't heard..

Funny enough, there has been a Star Tours: Solaria chronicle floating around.  If you'd like to try it out, just contact me.

For now...enjoy this teaser video.

New Structure (Kashyyyk Tree House)

(not actual structure)

In case you weren't aware, there was a brief anniversary gift which ended up being a schematic for the Kashyyyk Tree House.

The coolest part about it is the fact it makes a very cool decoration even if you keep it as a schematic. Structures 1 can craft it, but it has some specialized materials. Take a look...

By the way... That image you see is what the schem looks like when you get it. I used mine as decor in city hall (If you've seen Solaria's "city in a city" display).

The structure is 2 lots and 200 storage but has a footprint which is almost the same of a Mustafar Bunker. Off the top of my head I think its footprint is 6x7.

Its design inside is almost like a loft. There is a ground-level floor and a ramp to the side going to an open upstairs area. No windows, no basement.

Special thanks to Salaryn's Star Wars Galaxies Blog for the crafting screen.
