Welcome back!

November 16, 2007

Hi everyone!

Another week is drawing to a close, and I wanted to run a few things by the community here. There is a lot of role playing going on here (which is great fun) and sometimes the line gets blurred. We are working on ways to make areas of the site much more clearly designed for this sort of stuff, but in the meantime try and be considerate of other members in the community. I know that the Sith and Jedi are natural enemies, and would never DREAM of asking you to get along, but I will ask that you be respectful of people enjoying their time here. If you have any question about what is okay or not okay, check out our terms of service at the bottom of the page, but honestly, I think that everyone here has a pretty good idea of what crosses the line...

On a lighter note we have some cool stuff coming around the bend! I can't give too much away, but I wanted to let you know that we have a couple of fun changes coming to the site early next week. Nothing too drastic, but we hope it will fulfill some of your great suggestions. Also, we have a special treat for Thanksgiving this year, so make sure you plan ahead and make The World of Star Wars the destination for your turkey day. You will have the opportunity to be well rewarded :)

And lastly, there is a neat forum thread started about collectibles that you may be interested in. It's a place where you can post what you are looking for and have other users try and help you locate it. Try it and see if you can dig up that last missing piece to your collection! Click here and I'll take you right to it!

Have fun today and as always may the force be with you!

We got a number of great videos from you guys when we asked for uploads last week, and I wanted to highlight a couple of them.



Never knew Elmo was in Star Wars? He is in this funny parody called A Lost Hope

Watch the full arc of the Padme and Anakin love story in Everything Changes

Anakin and Padme not your thing? Maybe the rumored love affair of Anakin and the handmaiden Dorme would interest you more. Check out the trailer for the fanfic movie A Clever Seduction

The Sith aren't the only ones looking to do some damage to the Jedi! Here comes the Wrath of the Mandalorian

Imperial Propaganda has never looked so cool! Take a look and see if you have what it takes to join the empire

Darth Vader eats penne arrabiata? According to Eddie Izzard and the Death Star Cantina he does! (This one has some non PG language...seriously...there's naughty language...you've been warned!)

Check them out, favorite them, rate them, or if you think you can do better, upload more yourself!

Happy viewing and may the force be with you!

So a lot of you are wondering about leveling and yes it is working! Since we had the problem a lot of you jumped up to your appropriate level, but it's not always that easy! Work hard...have fun... do a lot! You will be rewarded.

Also, we are doing some routine maintenance to the site so if you notice some issues with recent activity or saved items, we know about it and it is only temporary :)

We have some more changes coming in the next few days that are really exciting. Thanks to all of you for building out such a wonderful World!

Stay tuned...and may the force be with you!

  1. About contribution, I think it would encourage people to contribute more if there was some kind of recognition, like that there is a tag about what user(s) contributed to the currently viewed item, or an award on the profile....just a thought

  2. Sith Squad? You got me right through the heart, Y2. What about the New Jedi Order? :)

  3. Greetings Y2-D2! I've been tasked by Mand'alor to serve as a liaison between the Mando'ade and yourself so that we may inform you of our happenings and to also give you some of our suggestions. I hope you find this reasonable. And also you've done amazing work so far and my Mando'ade comrades and myself can't wait to see what else you have in store!

    We could use a few astro droids. :-D
