The thirtieth celebration of Star Wars has been one hell of a ride as we met several new friends and allies along the way. Our Dewback Patrol was able to cover not only the United States, but we even managed to go International in our effort to unite the world of Star Wars collectors. The message of unity has been spread throughout the galaxy and we would have never imagined what the journey would possibly bring. We have done our best to chronicle the past year and I apologize in advance for it being so long. The past year was so incredible and massive and there was so much we did as a website during the party that was the thirtieth anniversary celebration. We're also hoping to add Dewback Patrol: A Year in Photos as we've put together a photo gallery of some of the highlights from the past year. I would like to thank every single member of my staff and their significant others as your sacrifice is appreciated by us all. I would once again like to thank all of our sponsors, affiliates and especially all of you great Troopers who make this website the special place it will continue to be.

The Team from Hasbro updated their site with a friendly reminder to not believe everything you read. Today they put out a reminder on Product Information Releases for 2008 to give us a little insight on what to expect this upcoming year. Even though fan sites like this one are usually correct in their information, don't believe it until you see it on the 
Hey troopers! The holidays are almost here, and it's easy to notice because all the local retail outlets have their shelves and pegs packed with Star Wars toys! I was lucky enough to have found figures from the latest wave today at the Target in Oswego: Destroyer Droid (with shield), Padme Amidala (Naboo Senator) and Voolvif Monn. I've been really impressed with what has been coming out from Hasbro, as they've been creating a lot of new figures that haven't been done yet. Sure, some of them are characters that have been done to death, but at least those are new sculpts with new outfits (e.g. Padme Amidala). Target also had a bunch of new Star Wars Tranformers, Galactic Heroes, LEGO sets and more. I'd really like to see the shelves and pegs full like this all the time, not just for during the holiday season. United We Find!
