    Forgive me if this is a redundant post.

    In the mail today, I got a large manilla envelope. Inside were:

    1. A Star Wars heritage preview card (ROTJ).

    2. A SW Fan Club membership card with Vader on it (the "publicity" Vader, not an image from any of the films).

    3. A coupon for the "Unifying Force" novel.

    4. A Code 3 collectables 2004 calendar.

    5. A SW TCG poster.

    6. A SW Lego poster.

    7. An animation cel(!) with original sketch attached. I don't know what it's from. It features 5 short, black figures with green outlines running to the left with spears in their hands. They don't quite look like Ewoks, but I presume that's the series it's from. Any guesses?


    That's it. Anyone else get anything similar?

    Yep I got the same package :) I believe the animation cels are from either Ewoks or Droids.

    My guess is Ewoks. Short guys with sticks and all.

    I wonder what episode? I haven't seen any of those shows since the original run!

    And wasn't there supposed to be a letter from Lucas in the kit?

    My cell was a hat! I think it's neat, though.

    My cell was a headless Ewok. Totally took me by surprise since I got something similar about 6 months ago. That cell was a head with a turban. Didn't look like an ewok though.

    I got mine the other day. My animation cell is just of a head of some grinch looking character. I have to say that I agree that most of the package is mainly just one big advertisment. But it was cool to get the cell though.

    I got mine awhile back. My cel was a female Ewok. After seeing some of the other peoples' descriptions of theirs, I was glad mine actually looked like something!

    I got a rock


    No I really got a "shadow" (just all black, no colors) of what I am assuming is the Ewok "King"

    Plus all that stuff, minus the Heritage card.

    My animation cell was four squiggly black lines. That's all. No people, no Ewoks, nothing but four squiggly black lines. Kind of a disappointment.

    I was excited about the rest of the kit. My membership is actually ending, so I was surprised to even get it. I really liked the Lego poster. I collect the Legos and the poster will look nice next to my collection.

    I just got mine. No letter from Lucas like promised. The cel I got is a green arm reaching for a coat with a snake on it. I think its Gaff's arm from droids. I doubt these cels were aired. If they were they would have a studio seal and certificate with them. Plus they shouldn't have been glued to the production drawing. (I use to work at an animation art gallery) This kit really stinks. Why not give a whole pack of heritage cards? Is it really that much to ask? The posters I could have gotten at Toys R Us. I wonder if anyone has actually gotten a cel like the one they show in the hyperspace tour.

    Yeah, this membership kit is mostly paper advertising junk. This Heritage promo card should have been sent out with the subscriber's version of SW Insider, instead of the newstand one. So previously picking that up, now I have two. Joy. Especially sad is the fact that you get the 2004 calendars with only two months left in the year. Nice. Real nice.

    FYI, the film cell I received is a 5" x 4" picture of the back head and torso of a naked ewok. Kind of interesting, but nothing to put on the wall or anything. Now, that picture of the ewok "hat" that somebody mentioned sure sounds awesome . . . .

    My first cell was so lame that I threw it away. This one is an ewok though, so I'll keep it or give it to my little sister, who is a huge ewok fan. The rest of the kit was the same old stuff they sent back in the spring except for the Heritage card of Leia. I'm not too impressed with the kits. Maybe next year will be better.

    I just got another membership kit in the mail over the weekend. I thought I just got one earlier this year. What's going on? ..and what's with the 2004 calendars, last I checked 2004 is almost over.

    You guys were lucky. My husband and my friend both got a cell of a yellow broom. LAME!

    But, at least the mystery is solved. We were starting to think we'd done crazy. "Why would Lucas sent us a broom?"

    A letter would have been nice. Or, a headless Ewok!

    I got one the other day. I think it's my second one of the year, too. Probably has something to do with renewing.

    Anyways, the animation cell I got this time was pretty good. Last time, I think I just had someone's feet, and this time, it actually had a face.

    This is wierd.....

    I got another 2004 membership kit yesterday, this time it had the ROTJ Leia/Jabba card, and another Ewok cel. However, this one was better than my first one--it's a gray arm! [face_laugh]

    Hi Guys, new guy here in the board but all in the Star Wars world!!!

    I got my membership kit one week ago and my cell actually is pretty good, is a big drawing of a dewback in green with a few other colors. Last year I have the ewok cell, so I guess this one is not bad at all.
    I was surprise that there was no letter from anyone though.
