     This week on Star Wars Action News, Arnie and Marjorie respond to some feedback regarding the lack of enthusiasm for Star Wars held by even some of the most hard-core fans. One fan wrote in and said that despite his four Star Wars tattoos, finding new product on the shelves is leaving him cold. Arnie and Marjorie try to help this lost sheep find his way back to the flock.

     Another battle droid joins the Clone Strike Visual Guide. Check out the full Clone Strike guide for a complete checklist and our ever-growing Clone Strike guides!
