Whats the difference between clone troopers and stormtroopers?
August 15, 2008 by Bill
Are the storm troopers the same as clones or are they not?
Answer:
Stormtroopers and Clonetroopers might appear to be the same however they are quite different if you were to lift the helmet off the trooper. Clonetroopers were originally all clones of Joba Fett, a lethal and talented bounty hunter that roamed the galaxy.
Clonetroopers were necessary in the early years of the formation of the Empire because they needed to grow an army to immense proportions and quickly in anticipation of their many conquests around the galaxy and the need for an army of enforcers.
As the years passed, flaws were found in the clonetroopers and the decision was made somewhere between Episode III and Episode IV to instead develop the Stormtrooper army from a pool of highly trained and fiercely loyal soldiers.
So while similar, clonetroopers and stormtroopers are different animals.

In Eps 4,5,6 in Star Wars are the Stormtroopers clones?
August 13, 2008 by Bill
If so when did they change sides and why?
Answer: The subject of when the Stormtroopers changed from a clone to a highly trained human was never thoroughly discussed in any of the movies but it is widely accepted that the Stormtroopers in the later episodes were not clones.
Initially, the stormtroopers served as the army of the Galactic Empire and were under Imperial authority. It was determined that the Fett clones were susceptible to being manipulated and this was a fatal weakness, especially against someone with knowledge of the Force. The Fett clones were slowly displaced by human recruits who were highly trained, intelligent and fiercely loyal to the Empire. The only legion of Stormtroopers to remain "clones" is the 501st legion of troopers nicknamed Vaders Fist.
Once the Empire developed some stability, the Stormtroopers became the personal army of the Emperor and were tasked with the mission of maintaining and enforcing the will of Palpatine. The continued with this mission until the Empire was ultimately destroyed and both Darth Vader and the Emperor were destroyed.

Star Wars Action Figures
August 12, 2008 by Bill
With the excitement surrounding the upcoming animated version of The Clone Wars, there is a high level of excitement around the Star Wars franchise again. There is no question that Star Wars is an 800 lb gorilla in the collectibles industry and the amount of money spent on buying and selling Star Wars Collectibles every year rivals the GDP of some entire countries on this planet.
A quick glance at Ebay shows that one of the most wildly popular and sometimes most valuable items traded on Ebay are the ever popular Star Wars Action figures. The very same Star Wars Action figures that you played with as a kid and yeah...maybe as an adult too.
Take a look at this search link...can you believe an early Ben Kenobi action figure is selling for FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ON EBAY?? This thing probably cost a few dollars when it was new and now 15k bucks. Incredible!! When that search comes up...just click the drop down box and order it from Highest price first...and you can see the incredible potential in Star Wars Action Figures.
My personal favorites of course are the Stormtroopers but not everyone has my good taste. If you are a Star Wars collector or maybe you just want to introduce your child to a favorite from your youth, check out the Star Wars Action figures today.

Star Wars Lego Tie Fighter #10131
August 9, 2008 by Bill
Who could forget the haunting wail of the venerable Tie Fighters that we were first introduced to back in Star Wars IV The New Hope. Us old farts call it Star Wars and it was first played on big screens when gasoline was less than a dollar a gallon.
No doubt about it, the Tie Fighter Interceptor is a fearsome opponent and many an X-Wing fighter fell victim to the quad laser cannons mounted on each wing. No self respecting X-Wing fighter pilot wanted to find a Tie Interceptor on their six.
The Tie Fighters came in a few different flavors with the standard Tie Interceptor that we are all familiar with being the most commonly seen version of the Tie Fighter but we also were given a look inside of Darth Vaders own customized Tie Fighter with it's angular wings and advanced styling. The Dark Lord can't really be tooling around the galaxy in the same ride as the rest of the masses can he?
This Tie Fighter Lego kit gives you the best of both worlds if you are in the market to collect Tie Fighter Lego sets. The Tie Fighter #10131 Lego kit includes two normal Tie fighter lego kits, a Darth Vader Tie Fighter and 1 Droid Brain Mini Fig. In one kit you get a great representation of the Tie Fighter Lego series.
The 10131 Tie Fighter Lego kit has become quite rare these days and is sure to be a hot collectible down the road. The power of the Star Wars brand combined with the Legos franchise legacy and you are almost guaranteed to continue to increase in value. Not to mention they are supercool too.
The detailed instructions make it easy to build and we experienced no major quirks or issues putting the Tie Fighter lego sets together.
