Small update

Just a small little update, the work on IoN is moving along, when this set comes out, it will be one of the instant favorites.

Invasion of Naboo Prediction Contest

(This is a Contest going on, it is on rebelbasers and I thought some of you might want to do it)

Some of you may be familiar with the previous prediction contests run by Sobejjj, DOC_NASTY, RedneckJedi and most recently Darth Joker and myself. They have always provided a place where fans of the SWTCG can predict competitively what card names will be in the set. With the release of the Invasion of Naboo (ION) expansion, by the Independent Development Committee (IDC), just around the corner it has now come time for the next instalment of this contest.

The Invasion of Naboo Prediction Contest is going to be supported with a prize for the Rebelbasers.com member who correctly guesses the most names of cards in the ION expansion. So without further ado, I give you the IDC's ION Prediction Contest!!

Invasion of Naboo Prediction Contest Rules

1. This contest will end on:
   To be Announced
2. Each Rebelbasers.com member is only allowed one entry.
3. IDC Members and those with access to a list of ION cards cannot participate in this contest. If they do they are breaking the rules of IDC and it's Charter (as well as spoiling this contest).
4. For an entry to be valid it must contain a list of 25 names (no more, no less). These names are your predictions of the names (and versions) of cards in the ION expansion.
5. You can't post an entry that is an identical list to another valid entry.
6. You can only submit one entry.
7. Your entry can't contain any spoilers that had been released before the time you posted your entry. If it does I will PM you and you can change your list by replacing the Spoiled card name with another of your choosing.
8. It will be at my (IVIaceWindu) discretion if you have posted a spoiled name or not.
9. You can modify your entry at any time within the first 24 hours of it's submission. Any modification of your entry after this 24 hour period will void your entry and automatically disqualify you from the contest, unless I have given you permission to change and/or modify your entry.
10. The Rebelbasers.com member/s who correctly guess the most names of cards in the ION expansion, from a submitted and valid entry, will receive a prize.
11. I, IVIaceWindu, can modify, make changes to, add or delete any rules in this contest at any time without question. All entry's submitted after a rule is modified, changed, added or deleted must follow the latest rules of the contest to be a valid entry and eligible for the prize.
12. By submitting your entry into this contest you are agreeing to abide by the rules and acknowledge the right of IVIaceWindu to change any aspect or rule of this contest at any time without objection.

ION Prediction Contest Spelling Rules for Valid Entries

• The card title must be exactly the same as the card name. (Example: If you predict Qui-Gon Jinn (X), and it's simply Qui-Gon Jinn or expanded to Ambassador Qui-Gon Jinn (X), it does not count as a correct prediction.)
• There are no "spelling penalties" for special characters, provided the letter equivalence is obvious. (Example: e = é, a = â and á, etc.)
• There are no "spelling penalties" for punctuation marks. They will be ignored if they're in the actual card name, and/or as a pick in the prediction contest. This includes apostrophes, commas, periods, exclamation points, etc.
• Based on the Revenge of the Sith predictions, a "spelling penalty" will be incurred when using a "0" (zero) in place of an "O" (oh) and vice-versa.
• Your predictions containing proper nouns require capitalization. If you predict millennium falcon (M) but the card is actually Millennium Falcon (M), your guess will be incorrect. However, for non-proper nouns, you will not be penalized. For example; if you predict the name Give In to your Anger and the actual card is Give in to Your Anger, you will still have a correct prediction. I will be the final judge in this matter and my ruling will be final.

Prize Support
At the moment this is yet to be advised.

Invasion of Naboo

Which Faction Do You Choose?

Tensions are high among the organizations of the Republic. The Naboo, a normally peaceful people, have an uneasy truce with the aquatic inhabitants of their planet: the Gungans. The once-good diplomats of the Galactic Senate are being corrupted and toyed with by a mysterious puppet-master. These tensions could resolve themselves in time - if it weren't for a sudden and unexpected move by the Trade Federation: invasion!

The lines have been drawn for the five factions of the invasion. The lithe Naboo plan for guerrilla warfare. Politicians try to keep things under control from the haven of Coruscant as the Sith disorganize and disorient the forces of good from behind the scenes. The Trade Federation unleashes its waves of droids and massive warships to destroy all in its path. Caught in the middle, the Gungans just may be the deciding force in this war.

In the fifth expansion created by the Independent Development Committee (IDC), you will control the events of the Invasion of Naboo. Will you resist the invasion, fight for your freedom against the Trade Federation oppressors, or split the Galactic Senate in half with your plans for revenge? There is only one certainty: you will face new strategies and fight in whole new ways for victory!

Whether fighting on the front lines, debating in the Senate, or plotting from the shadows, the galaxy will rest on your shoulders! In this Invasion of Naboo, every supporter could tip the war for a faction: who do you support?

The Trailer & Poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars

The Trailer & Poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars May 06, 2008

First Theatrical Trailer for Animated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS to Premiere Exclusively Across Multiple Turner Networks Thursday, May 8 Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang All to Showcase Newest Star Wars Adventure at 7:58 p.m.

Star Wars fans will get an unprecedented look at the newest intergalactic adventure on Thursday, May 8, when the world-premiere trailer for the upcoming CG-animated movie Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuts across five Turner networks simultaneously.

At 7:58 p.m. in all U.S. time zones, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang will debut an action-packed, two-minute preview of the animated adventure from creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation. It marks the first time a theatrical trailer has received a simultaneous, cross-network airing on Turner Networks. The trailer debuts in theaters on Friday, May 9, along with the first poster for the movie. The poster is available for pre-order exclusively at StarWarsShop. Check it out here.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars opens in movie theaters Aug. 15.

"By combining the power of the Turner Networks and the power of the Force, we're able to create a fantastic event for Star Wars fans of all ages," said Howard Roffman, vice president of Lucasfilm Ltd. "We're incredibly proud of The Clone Wars, and eager to be able to showcase it for the first time in such an exciting way."

The newest tale of adventure, intrigue and excitement in a galaxy far, far away combines the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars Saga with a signature animation style from Lucasfilm Animation.

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains -- led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous -- are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The theatrical release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars tells an all-new story that leads directly in to this fall's premiere of a weekly, animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.
