Features

• "Prequel Update" (by Brett Rector)

  Now the heat really gets turned up—we're talking Mustafar hot—as Lucasfilm begins the final stretch toward getting Revenge of the Sith ready for its May 19 release.

• "The History of the Mandalorians: Exploring the Evolution of a Mighty Race of Warriors" (by Abel G. Peña)

  Jango and Boba Fett are the stuff of Star Wars legend—but they are not the only Mandalorians in the galaxy. Now, for the first time, Insider presents a detailed history about the galaxy's fiercest warriors.

• "The Art of Combat" (by Brett Rector)

  From the moment it was announced, the Clone Wars animated microseries was destined for greatness—and now it has an Emmy Award to prove it. Insider sits down with Director Genndy Tartakovsky and Art Director Paul Rudish to talk about the epic first season and to gain a little insight into what's coming next.

• "Straight from the Hip" (by Brett Rector)

  He's a man who needs little introduction, not to mention he plays one of the baddest Jedi ever. We're talking about Samuel L. Jackson, of course—and he's talking to us. What about? A little bit of everything.

• "The Journey of Count Dooku: Inside the Mind of a Fallen Jedi" (by Brett Rector)

  Christopher Lee has played countless roles, but few more recognizable than Dooku. As we found out in this interview, the fallen Jedi is more a man of conviction than pure evil.

• "The Unseen Planets of Episode II" (by Daniel Wallace)

  Take a trip across the galaxy and let Insider be your guide to such exotic locales as Shadda-Bi-Boran, Bogden, Subterrel, and Rishi.
