3. ACROSS THE STARS VIDEO
*Today, TRL showed the video for Across the Stars. It showed some new
footage but it was mostly stuff taken from the trailers. The music is
awsome though! The opening scene was really cool as well, with Obi-
Wan and the "druggie." :)
*What did you think? Take our poll...

4. GAINESVILLE SUN ARTICLE
*Well, it's not very informative if you have been keeping up to date
with Episode 2 but it's entertaining...

5. STAR WARS MERCHANDISE RELEASE
*TOYS- Did anyone go to midnight madness? Well, apparently TIMES
SQUARE WAS THE BOMB!!!! Unfortunately, no North Central Florida TRU
were doing it! :( I hope you guys enjoyed it!!
*SOUNDTRACK-Don't forget to get the soundtrack!!! Target,
Walmart and
Circuit City (?) all have different specials. Target has the
soundtrack with an extra track (14) called the Droid Foundry. The
Walmart supposedly has a screen saver. The Circuit city, from what
I've heard, has a special card... Maybe you should get all three!!! :)
*CHEETOS- It's an evil scam!!! just kidding... I went
out and got
some cheetos but they had no Episode 2 card... I was really mad!!!
Just make sure that if you do get some, it MIGHT not have a card!!!
*CARGO BAY- The official site made up a list of collectibles
for all
of you out there who can't keep up with what you have.
