Adding to our galaxy.

NewsWe are remodelling Dagobah to be able to handle fan fiction and artwork - soon we will invite you to make your own contributions to the site!

Everything is proceeding as we have forseen...

NewsWe are on the road to recovery after an amazing five days in LA for Celebration IV - and now we are gearing up for a ground assault on Celebration Europe!

It was wonderful to meet so many friends from the Star Wars community at the convention, and we have many images, films and products to remember our time there. Of course, we were also there to work - and we must thank Amira Sa'id for being such an amzing interview subject - I'll be editing the footage very soon, and preliminary viewings indicate it will be quite an interesting little documentary.

In the meantime, I shall be discussing a revamp of this website with Darth Admin and the web wookiee - perhaps to open up some of the forums for fan fiction and artwork - also a place to link to your photo albums might be a good idea - I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again for dropping by - the adventure is only just beginning!!

Commence Primary Ignition

NewsFirst up, a big thank you to those of you who have already registered at this site, we have 40+ new users - this is an excellent way to keep up to date with the documentary process as it unfolds.

Thank you also to those of you who have helped iron some kinks out, I believe most things on this site are working at 100% efficiency, so we have no need to call in the astromechs after all!

I will be promoting the film, and this site, at C IV, so we will see a huge influx of new members at the end of May - we will also take this opportunity to present some new features, such as fan-fic and art posting, and then the production itself will kick off in July.

Get ready to make the jump to lightspeed!

Be a part of the film!

NewsHello there,

We have several focuses for our documentary, and we are currently planning to visit several areas including New York, Texas and the UK.

If you would like to be a part of the film, we are particularly interested in hearing from collectors, costumers, bloggers and military personal (active or not). Also, if you have any budding jedi younglings in your family, we will be looking for little padawans to introduce each segment in the film - let us know if your little darlings have a flair for the big screen!

Many thanks for your support, feel free to leave a comment, or contact Neil at the usual address.

Stirrings in the Force

NewsHello, and welcome to your place in the galaxy.

A Place in the Galaxy has received a mention at www.theforce.net - thank you Mike.
We will be keeping them notified about further developments in the film.

One of our featured segments in the documentary will be following Amira, possibly the best known 'Leia Slave Girl' around today! She will be teaching belly dancing at C IV, and Studio Moraine will be there to record her every move. Find out more about Amira at www.amiradance.com

One of our beloved bloggers, JediPrincess77, has entered the C IV talent contest with an amazing Leia-themed jazz rendition. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqDO7UC_HTc and vote for our girl!
Let the Princess win!!
Studio Moraine hopes to follow her all the way to the finals!

UPDATE: Thanks to The Stooge for directing me to Club Jade, who have also featured our film on their site. Cheers, Dunc! Go to www.clubjade.net to see more.
