Yes, there's more! I'll be posting more Twitter nonsense, this time from the Gary Kurtz panel. Will he talk about the alternate Return of the Jedi? How about the 12-episode outline George doesn't talk about anymore? I can't wait to find out, so follow me on Twitter to join the fun!
Earlier this afternoon at STAR WARS Celebration V in Orlando, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart sat down for a one-hour interview with STAR WARS creator George Lucas in what was billed “The Main Event.” Hasbro is proud and honored to create a special gift for Stewart, which Lucas presented to him during the event – a one of a kind (NOT FOR SALE) 3.75-inch Jon Stewart Stormtrooper action figure!
The deleted scene shown in today's tease for the upcoming Blu-Ray release of the saga has already made the jump to YouTube. Want to see Darth Vader talking to Luke through the Force, or Luke building his lightsaber? Well, we found it. Click here to see it.
Want more live-from-the-panel action? I'm going to livetweet the Clone Wars panel with news on season 3. Check it out! Follow me on Twitter for more! Update: click through for some highlights.
We have tons of new pictures! Want to see in-booth shots of the newest waves of The Clone Wars and The Vintage Collection? How about life-size fan-made replicas of Ephant Mon, the Max Rebo Band, and Muftak? It's all here!

Updates: Twitter locked me out for posting too much! I'll post the rest below. Have some more updates on Clone Wars, the Blu-Ray and a deleted scene.
We've had Obi-Wan Kenobi, yesterday was General Grievous, and today it's Anakin Skywalker! This is the one that may have a running change to "Darth Vader" on the nameplate, so you may as well get this special version if you're here. And if you aren't? Well, you're dead to me.
