SW: The Old Republic MMO has a contest for registered users: Gentle Giant is offering a life-sized statue Darth Malgus. Sign-ups will continue until mid-May, then a lucky user will be chosen. Now...where would I put that statue? Man, a lifesize statue! Now why can't they make one of Obi-Wan???

Have you seen this? Part of the Sideshow "Star Wars Mythos" line. This is statue stands about 15" high and was sculpted in various waxes. The idea was to imagine Obi-Wan Kenobi in between the two Star Wars trilogies, roaming the deserts of Tatooine in exile. We were given the opportunity to depict both a younger Alec Guinness and a slightly older Ewan McGregor, which was quite cool for me. To learn more about Star Wars Mythos, and to see more from this great line of statues, visit the Sideshow Experience: www.sideshowtoy.com/experience/entertainment/main-attractions/star-wars-page/star-wars-mythos/mythos-ben-kenobi/

Glad to hear you're alright! Could it just be stress and exhaustion? Leda - i have that book, just for the cover art! Its okay. Its part if a small series. They did Luke, Padme and Vader I think. Originally came in a slip case. Somehow mine did not have a slip case so I need to track one down that has one

The newest issue of SW Insider should be on the newsstands. I have a subscription to SW Insider and was pleasantly surprised to see a TJA member in "Bantha Tracks". "Bantha Tracks" is no longer online (as far as I can tell with my web searches). TJA members will have to go to a bookstore and get the latest issue when the get the newest SW book?
