Film Roman The Clone Wars received five nominations in 2010 and four in 2011, but in neither year did it win in any category. You would think that an awards show called the "Annies" would eventually show some love for the current flagship Star Wars project! In any event, this year's winners will be announced at the 40th Annual Annie Awards ceremony on Saturday, February 2, 2013. Congratulations and good luck to Joel Aron, Keith Kellogg, Sam Witwer, and Jason Tucker!
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.
