Disney Store Launches New Star Wars Select 7 Inch Action Figure Line

For years, fans of Star Wars have asked for a line of 7-inch-scale Star Wars action figures, both for the added detail and the compatibility with other toy lines. The Disney Store has heard the demand, and has launched a new line of Star Wars Select action figures, made by Diamond Select Toys for the Disney Store! The line kicks off on October 23 with two releases, Boba Fett and Darth Maul. Each figure stands approximately 7 inches tall with 16 points of articulation, and each comes with multiple interchangeable parts and effects.

Mimoco Celebrates May the 4th with Hooded Maul Mimobot

May the 4th be with you! Mimoco, makers of the MIMOBOT® collection of designer USB flash drives and MIMOMICRO™ card readers, is celebrating Star Wars Day (May the 4th... get it?!) with a limited edition release of the deadly Sith warrior, Darth Maul in a run of 504 units.

Star Wars Day was created by the Star Wars fan community to celebrate all things Star Wars, and with this limited edition Hooded Darth Maul MIMOBOT®, featuring his characteristic cape, deadly double-bladed light saber, and fierce yellow grimace, Mimoco is more than ready to honor this holiest of days. There is no better time to revisit one of George Lucas' most mysterious and compelling villains, especially following the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace 3D.








Available in 8GB to 64GB capacities, Hooded Darth Maul MIMOBOT® lets you channel your emotions, (even the dark ones), as you store and transport all your digital music, pics, documents, and more. And with exclusive preloaded digital extras that include Star Wars-themed icons, avatars, screensavers, wallpapers, and the mimoByte™ sound software that plays authentic Star Wars audio clips when MIMOBOT is inserted or ejected from your computer, your limited edition Hooded Darth Maul MIMOBOT will make this May the 4th the best Star Wars Day ever!

Quick Star Wars Burgers Inject You With The Force

Force you to do what...I could not say. I've never had a Quick burger so I won't make any bowel movement jokes today.

From across the great waters comes the most awesome merchandising tie in since Hello Kitty lent her face to a vibrator. It's STAR WARS BURGERS!!! French website MintInBox got the scoop on these force infused sandwiches, but not much info. It seems this February, to coincide with the release of The Phantom Menace in 3D, Quick will release three burgers.. The Dark Burger (red), the Jedi Burger (green), and the Dark Vader Burger (black).








February 10th is the set date for The Phantom Menace to drop on theaters in 3D, so I'd expect a flurry of product tie ins to start...right about...meow.

An Invite To a Night of FREE Clone Wars Geekery!

Remember that red guy that popped up in Episode 1, handed Qui Gon his ass and then was dispatched by a lucky light saber strike minutes later? That Sith terminator Lucas has been cranking out toys for ever since? His name is Darth Maul; an often forgotten Star Wars baddie overshadowed by the horror that was Jar Jar Binks and the entire Gungan race. Now...his story will be told!!

Lucasfilm Ltd. and Cartoon Network invite you to limited theatrical screenings and a BIG SCREEN sneak peek at an all-new Clone Wars villain - the monstrous SAVAGE OPRESS! For the first time ever, Sith training will be explored - and with it, truths about the very nature of the dark side itself!

A warrior forged by a dark sorcery as mystical and powerful as the Force, Opress will uncover shocking revelations about the galaxy's tenuous balance of power, including secrets about one of the Sith's most infamous villains -- Episode I's Darth Maul! From his origins to his fate, Maul's mysteries will at long last be uncovered...
