This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most
critically acclaimed installments of one of the most popular films of
all time — Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. And this
Thursday, August 4th 5th, we kick off the celebration with
the release of a slew of exclusive Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back
content, available only in PlayStation Home.
Plucked straight from the iconic planet of Tatooine, the Cantina —
situated in the spaceport town of Mos Eisley — is a rough-and-tumble
intergalactic watering hole that welcomes only the toughest and bravest
of souls (no Droids allowed!) From the Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes
house band to Wuher, the resident bartender, the Mos Eisley Cantina is
an immersive environment that faithfully recreates one of the most
memorable scenes from The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars
Episode IV: A New Hope. Releasing alongside a score of items —
including Chewbacca, C-3PO, and Leia Organa costumes — the Mos Eisley
Cantina is available this Thursday via the PlayStation Home navigator.
While you are expanding your Star Wars experience by visiting the Mos Eisley Cantina in PlayStation Home and picking up the special Star Wars items (available from the LucasArts
store in the PlayStation Home Mall), be sure to keep an eye on the
posters throughout PlayStation Home’s Central Plaza during the next few
weeks for portions of a secret voucher code. The first 10,000 users that
assemble and redeem this voucher will receive a highly limited The
Empire Strikes Back furniture item for their personal space. This item
will only be available to those of you that participate in this ongoing
scavenger hunt and will never be made for sale. So be sure to get
in-world this Thursday to collect the first portion of this secret code
and stay glued to this blog as well as the official PlayStation Facebook and Twitter accounts for more details surrounding future Empire Strikes Back events and content!
We wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the winners of the ModNation Racers “Snap a Trick” contest, which we announced on this blog
a few months back. We were inundated with entries, but have finally
whittled it down to the top contestants. So, without further adieu, I
ask that you join us in congratulating the following racers:
ADRSKYLINE14, DTC_2010, FerrariThugs, kidd94, Mangus_Lorcan, ManiK,
QCVic, silentkillerrei, and tbt924. Visit the ModNation Racers
space in PlayStation Home this Thursday and check out pics of these
guys and gals’ awesome kart tricks (here’s two of our favorite shots,
just to whet your appetites)!
Finally, we wanted to draw your attention to a site ran by one of our
hardcore PlayStation Home community members, Bandit731, who hosts a
truly gorgeous gallery of photos taken in-world at the following site: http://photographyhome.tumblr.com/. Give the link a click when you get a moment and check it out for yourself — this user is very talented.
See you in Home!
