Our friend Greg F. wrote in with some rather sad news:
"I'm not sure if you have heard the sad news or not: legendary Star Wars artist John Alvin died Wednesday evening of a heart attack.
I just received the word a few moments ago from my roommate who works in the fine art business and he was told at 6pm this evening
John's art is legendary and he will be sorely missed. I met him for the first time at Celebration IV last May, he was a very gracious and generous man."
Thanks Greg. This has been confirmed by Lucasfilm. Our thoughts go our to Mr. Alvin's friends and family.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
