SW Stuff D | Tuesday, April 05, 2005Just a quick note - Star Wars stuff for the new movie is everywhere. In NYC we were walking in Times Square and Toys R Us was having a HUGE Episode III toy release sale-abration. There were literally hundreds of Star Wars fans dressed up as a multitude of characters and even more fans waiting outside to get in. Madness I tell you. MADNESS.
Also, during the Final Four Championship game no less, there was a new commercial for Episode III. Mostly previously released scenes, but a few new ones. Apparently there are a total of three new commercials (all available at SW.com). NICE.
Also, the book is out. I thumbed through it at Waldenbooks in the mall. SWEET.
Next should be the soundtrack. UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION!
UPDATE: There is a sneak preview of the soundtrack available online for paying StarWars.com members. I am trying to "find" it elsewhere.
