Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes First Impressions
I got to meet up with my pals from Lucas during E3 yesterday, and they walked me through their Star Wars themed title. A classic battle between good and evil (is there any other kind?), you battle your way through levels wielding your Light Saber and powers of the Force. But this game isn't based on the classic Star Wars franchise — it takes off after season one of the hugely popular animated series on the Cartoon Network, Clone Wars.
Clone Wars Love: My Interview with Ashley Eckstein
If you haven't seen Star Wars: Clone Wars yet, then you probably haven't been properly introduced to Ahsoka Tano, the newest butt-kicking female to be ushered into the Star Wars family and who just so happens to be Anikin Skywalker's new headstrong apprentice!
I saw the movie recently, and had the pleasure of talking with Ashley Eckstein who voices Ahsoka in the animated flick, about her role in the franchise, what it was like to play such an enthusiastic character, and whether or not she's a bonified geek. You may know Ashley from the hit TV series That's So Raven as Muffy, but now?

Top Chef Quiz: Restaurant Wars
Last night's Top Chef was a good one; the majority of the of the show focused on restaurant wars. It was the first time we saw some of the major players serve bad dishes and one of the few times that the judges were impressed with desserts. Were you paying attention?
Geek Out With My Star Wars Roundup!
The release of the latest Star Wars movie, The Clone Wars, is coming up next week and although it's an animated feature, I'm sure it will be big — It's Lucas, so it must be. I'm not quite a Jedi Master, but I do appreciate my Star Wars entertainment like anyone else, having seen the entire series a few times, so I'm sure I'll be checking out the movie. I'm hoping to see a few Sith Lords and Storm Troopers waiting in line on opening night (fingers crossed), so I'll be sure to have my camera ready!
Hello Wars: Star Wars and Hello Kitty Mashed Up, Adorable
My geeksugar readers, I know some of you love Hello Kitty. And I know some of you love Star Wars. Do you love both?!
Star Wars Quilt: Love It or Leave It?
It may be Star Trek mania right now, but I'm still a Star Wars girl as well.
I was smitten with the Star Wars Throw Pillow when I saw it, and now I am equally taken with the coordinating Star Wars Quilt, featuring an embroidered-on Millennium Falcon (on sale for $197 until Monday).
Think about it: it's not like your duvet, so you don't have to commit to it as a decor option.
Give War Powers Back by Asking For Congress's Opinion?
Adopting some wisdom from America's founding fathers, a bipartisan panel of former US officials concluded that the president should consult Congress before going to war. Congress last officially declared war, as called for in Article I of the Constitution, during World War II.
The National War Powers Commission, led by former secretaries of states James Baker III and Warren Christopher, proposed a law to require a congressional vote of approval or disapproval before the US engages in significant armed conflict for more than a week, except in cases of emergencies.
Au Revoir, Sanctuary: Canada Deports US Iraq War Deserter
US Army deserter, Robin Long, fled to Canada in 2005 to avoid serving in Iraq. Yesterday, Long was deported back to the US, the first time a resister to the US war effort in Iraq has been sent home by Canadian authorities. Long claims that he fled to avoid participation in an "illegal war of aggression in Iraq."

Well, don't worry, you can, with the Star Wars Cookbook: Wookie Cookies ($15)!
