>>>once again we reach the end of the month,
the first without a new star wars film to look forward to. as
it stands right now revenge of the sith has taken $360,143,707 in
america, plus the larger total of $368,340,773 abroad, with japan still to
come for a total of $728,484,480, just $10 million behind the matrix

|
latti tellex |
|
|
Tellex worked
for almost every major operator in the galaxy and distinguished himself as a
man who could quietly get a job done.
Eventually, Latti settled on working in his home sector of
Setnin for Glann Cipple. The former owner of the Cronta’s Lady, before its destruction by pirates, Latti was
killed in a rock fall caused by Imperial
Commander Terrov while fighting alongside Goah Galletti and Jan
Lomona on Escall. Short and stocky, with long braids growing
from his cheekbones and constantly eating Cockons, his favourite snack, Latti
was a popular runner on the smuggling circuit and his premature death
saddened many. |

>>>revenge of the sith had its
first day dipping below the $1,000,000 barrier, taking $965,277 but
recovered well on friday and saturday to take its total to $356,706,000 by
saturday, just under half a million behind jurassic park, which it
should pass tomorrow. the next target, just $14 million away is the
passion of the christ on $370,782,930 with spider-man 2 next on
$373,585,825 and return of the king in the all time domestic position
of 7th with $377,027,325. to catch spider-man on $403,706,375
may now prove to be a stretch, with the market filling with new titles, but
worldwide, where it has a total just shy of $720 million there is still
japan to come, and the best part of a likely $100 million to add there
during the summer. |

|
|
daemon garr |
|
|
Garr, Daemon
– Also known as Lord Raven. Furred
Daemonite alien with a short temper, Garr wore heavy body
armour with night vision capabilities. An ex-Bounty Hunter,
Garr worked with many people, including Jan Lomona, Yorath
Devalis and Nias Derril. Piloting his starship the
Pacifier Scout Garr continued to operate around the
Mid-Rim until he left the sector for other challenges.
Returning to the sector years later he was aggrieved to find
that his friend Jan Lomona had been lost in a hyperspace
accident and resolved to find him, which he did – across the
other side of the galaxy. Garr later married Netha Dubra,
the woman who would later become known as the Lady Raven
and he became known as Lord Raven, taking control of the
Raven Institute and renaming it the Raven Corporation,
an operation shrouded in mystery that eventually decided to join
the Setnin resistance during the Fall of Chancai and give
a large number of vessels to the Iron Claw leader
Ryath Centaur. But after a time the Raven Corporation,
always quietly playing both sides of the war, gave the majority
of its loyalty to the Ki-Ki, with both Lord and Lady Raven
helping the Ki-Ki. Later, Lord Raven placed a bounty on Lady
Raven’s head, a bounty which Tar Ranth collected on, but
instead of delivering his wife to him Ranth broke off their
partnership and helped Dubra. |

with a worldwide total of $692,225,863 sith now begins to traverse
the $45 million gap towards the matrix reloadeds worldwide total of
$738.6 million. for a film only on release for 32 days, and with japan
looking a lock-in for $100 million, sith now looks good to catch
finding nemo on $864.6 million and enter the all-time worldwide top ten. |

>>>revenge of the sith continues to
gross over a million dollars a day as more competition fills the
marketplace. with batman begins and mr and mrs smith to
compete against, as well as the solidly performing madagascar,
siths take has risen to $338,102,187 in just 29 days. while it's
not going to beat shrek 2's record of 43 days in passing $400 million
dollars, that milestone still looks reachable through the summer, making it
only the seventh film to do so. as of thursday 16th june it sits in
13th position, right behind finding nemo on $339,714,978 and lord
of the rings-the two towers on $341,786,758. next stop -
jurassic park which ended its run with $357,067,947, a target that
should be within reach by around its
40th day of release. worldwide its total has risen to $682.2 million,
passing forrest gump and taking 19th position. now it has a
hefty $56.4 million to take before it catches the matrix reloaded and
$93.2 before it passes a new hope (in unadjusted figures, of course).
it's also worth noting that the release of sith in japan in july will
likely reap around $100 million, taking it towards the all-time top ten
worldwide. |

|

Head of Glann
Cipple’s personal army the Shadow
Warriors. Born in Goanar Township on Amagad, Glann Cipple saved his life, and Melm was given the opportunity
to build the highly trained army, to which he agreed – as long as he was left
to his own devices. Glann accepted,
and dispatched Melm to Ferrerea,
where Melm had initially learned his fighting skills in dangerous
circumstances. Soon a Shadow Warrior Academy was operating
on Ferrerea, and after years of intense training the graduates were
dispatched to Amagad. Among these
graduates was Weale Galletti,
sister of Goah, and Kailo –
Dressel’s personal bodyguard who trained as a Shadow Warrior before leaving
to work for Cipple’s competitor. Loyal
and trustworthy Melm worked tirelessly for Cipple until Cipple sold out his
compatriots to the Empire over the
discovery of the legendary Starship Heed. Disgusted, Melm turned down an offer to
work for Dressel and left Amagad with his remaining Warriors, travelling to
Ferrerea to continue his training with Ferrerean
Death Cultists. After a few years
there he enlisted to aide the New
Republic in a security capacity and after completing that he joined Luschia Arkensaw aboard he newly
renovated Euphoria Station as
chief security officer, where he served her well until he met his death
aboard a Zobian Pirate ship,
saving the station from destruction by a huge asteroid. |

smash box office charts into tiny pieces as it breaks yet another record.
by day 17, sith passed the $300 million mark, beating out the
previous holder shrek 2 by a clear day. taking $10,650,000 on
saturday it accumulated the necessary box office clout to total $300,705,000
in 17 days, taking a further estimated $8,100,000 today for a grand running
total of $308,805,000 in a mere 18 days. worldwide the picture is much
the same, running, as of May 30 at $255,992,846 for a total of $564,797,846,
placing it in 27th place, just $25 million behind men in black.
domestically it sits at number 19, just $500,000 behind return of the
jedi and within less than $2 million of passing attack of the clones.
while the $431,088,301 of the phantom menace and the
$460,998,007 of a new hope may still seem a long way off there is
