RebelForce Radio's Special Report: SAVE THE CLONE WARS

We're huge fans of the Clone Wars television show here at Customs for the Kid.  Clone Wars was my generation's Star Wars the same way the Original Trilogy was my dad's.  Watching the Clone Wars has been a tradition in our house ever since I was 4 years old and the show had a lot to do with the creation of this blog.  Who knows if I would have been as into Star Wars if it wasn't for my weekly dose of Star Wars.  I remember when my Dad took me to see the theatrical release in the theater.  Please do whatever you can to keep this show going.  This show was a HUGE part of my childhood and I really need to know what happened to Rex and Darth Maul.  I'm really happy with the news yesterday that there is still more to come, but I'd really like to see the show continue into the vents of Order 66.SAVE THE CLONE WARS! 

Keep sending those letters to Bob Iger...It's more important now than ever!

CONTEST COMMITMENTS

Even though we are hard at work here at home promoting the "Smuggler's Gambit" Custom Action Figure Contest with RebelForce Radio, we have some good friends over at Yakface.com and ImperialShipyards.net who are hosting a contest of their own, a Star Wars Episode VII Customizing Challenge to be exact.  We figured since we are judging our own contest and we can't submit entries that Customs for the Kid should definitely support others in the community by participating in our friend's event in the meantime.  

Here are the entries we threw together.  Just background characters. Although, if there is one thing that can be said about Star Wars, it is that the background characters even have great tales told about them along the way.  Here are our characters, but their stories are still a work in progress.
