The animated series Star Wars Detours, in gestation of then 2009, was finally unveiled in images during Celebration VI.

On the menu, a comedy series with the writing of big names who have worked on The Simpsons, Family Guy, SpongeBob or Battlestar Galactica and you will understand it after watching this trailer, Seth Green and Matthew Senreich (Robot Chicken ) who are also in the game.

As far as we're concerned, I'm already worried about seeing LEGO release a Star Wars Detours range filled with chibi-minifigs with big head intended for the youngest ...

Two other clips are available on Star Wars YouTube channel.

Two new magnet packs are offered by this seller on ebay. We therefore find in the Marvel pack: Magneto, Captain America and Iron Man. The DC Universe Pack contains Wonder Woman, Superman, and Two-Face.

We had already been entitled to a first pack in February 2012 which contained Batman, Red Robin and the Joker.

Nothing too crazy though: These minifigs are the ones that are also available in the sets of the range, and moreover they are glued on their base. It is possible to take them off without too much breakage, but the operation still damages the plastic.

If anything comes out of Celebration VI when it comes to never before seen new stuff, it won't be on the LEGO booth ... sirstevesguide.com uploaded photos of the stand in question, and the least we can say is that it smells warm. We find old sets dating from early 2012, 2011, the Rancor Pit and nothing else ...

Some sets are the same as those presented in preliminary version during the New York Toy Fair 2012. Hopefully, LEGO will take advantage of this event by still unveiling a brand new set at tomorrow's panel titled "History of LEGO Sets"whose description says this:"The LEGO group has a rich history with the Star Wars brand. Throughout this panel you'll observe changes and chapters in the saga. Books and resources will be presented as well as examples of various kits sold by LEGO since the Star Wars license began."

You who follow Brick Heroes, you probably remember from the Captain America Brickfilm realized by ForrestFire Movies and which had earned me some remonstrances because of the violence of the thing.

In the same style but less gory, here is another technical gem proposed by the same director and which features Batman and Robin. It's very high end in terms of brickfilm, the dialogues are really successful, the animation is perfect and the result should make you smile at least.

Note that at ForrestFire Movies, a brickfilm The Avengers is in the works. I can not wait to see him...

IGN gives us an account of the interview with Ian Mc Darmid alias Palpatine / Sidious which took place today as part of Celebration VI.

And it was Palpatine himself who brought up the subject of vaporware most famous in history (since Duke Nukem Forever was released ...): The Star Wars TV series (see this article for a timeline of the facts).

I reassure you right away, no major revelation has taken place. Ian Mc Darmid just mentioned that if the series whose action takes place between Episodes III and IV ever sees the light of day, he would very much like to reprise his role as Chancellor Palpatine / Darth Sidious. He would take a dim view if another actor could play this character for him. 

Mc Darmid mentioned Hayden Christensen, stressing that his performance had not been judged at its fair value. He also added that he felt even more evil in Palpatine's costume than Sidious's, like a current politician would be.

In short, we haven't learned much about this TV series, and we are talking about the problems of financing the project, the exorbitant cost of special effects, etc, etc ...
