Get in line! Clone Wars is premiering in theaters today. Go see it right now, or Count Dooku will be most displeased. Can’t you just see his face?

Keep coming back to JediNet for more Clone Wars coverage this weekend!

The countdown to Clone Wars is near its end. Friday marks the premiere of the theatrical feature. Many are just now finding out that this film even exists, and many more are not up to speed about what this film is all about. Are you still undecided yourself? Not sure if you want to go see it or not?

To help you, here is an early review of Clone Wars by Melody Mooney. You might know her as Hygena on Sci-Fi Channel’s Who Wants to be a Superhero, and she goes by Stargeek on Youtube. Melody was able to catch an early screening of the film and shares her thoughts on who should go see Clone Wars and why.

As the film premieres, check back here for more reviews!

Mousedroid.com writes, “Sorry to our American Cousins but it looks like the Kiwis, followed closely by us Aussies will have the first viewing of the new Star Wars : The Clone Wars movie in August. The down under release is set for the 14th of August, a bit over a day earlier than in the USA taking the international dateline and time zones into account.”

In A New Hope, the Yavin 4 temple fortress which housed the temporary headquarters of the Rebel Alliance was nearly destroyed by the Death Star. Today, these ancient temples at Tikal which inspired Lucas — as well as other ancient, historical and cultural sites throughout the world — are threatened by the ravages of time and by our actions and conflicts as well.

To preserve these sites for posterity, Cyark has created 3D virtual snapshots utilizing advanced laser technology. Here’s the link to the Tikal record:

Historical sites are in a continual state of decay. What exists today may not be around for future generations to experience. Using the latest laser-scanning technology, CyArk collects the most accurate 3D model of cultural heritage sites, stores them safely and provides them freely to the world.

Amazing. All things Huttese. Every single line of dialog in the films, in the EU, in the comics, in the video games, even in multimedia CD-ROM guides. I found it, the most thorough, the most exhaustive catalog of Huttese words and phrases ever assembled by man at The Complete Wermo’s Guide to Huttese.

Now I don’t envy the Trekkies, with their harsh Klingon dictionaries and the foreheads. I’ve never been so proud.
