The Clone Wars Season 4 premieres NEXT Friday September 16th at 8pm on the Cartoon Network! MTV Geek was lucky enough to score an EXCLUSIVE CLIP to share with all our fellow geeks out there!

When the King of Mon Calamari is assassinated, talks break down between the Mon Cala and the Quarren, co-inhabitants of the world. To try and stop a civil war, the Republic sends in the Jedi but unbeknownst to them, the Quarren are already backed by the Separatists (lead by the shark-inspired Riff Tamson). Now the Jedi must protect Mon Cala's new leader, the young Prince Lee-Char, from the attack.

And here is our EXCLUSIVE CLIP "Water War:"

And just as another tease, here's another "Water War" clip:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (8 p.m. ET/PT) –In the first two episodes of this three-part story arc, the inhabitants of the watery world of Mon Calamari find themselves on the brink of a civil war.

I recently stumbled upon welovefine.com and found a great line of Star Wars tees they just launched on their site! They have a wide variety to choose from and one of the biggest pluses is that they have women's styles and sizes as well in some of their mix.

This R2 bleep shirt is made for women, which I love! Ashley Eckstein's Her Universe has paved the way for more fangirl wear! Check out this Star Wars mashup tee below, I'm lovin' this:

And how can anyone resist Deathstar Disco ball shirt? This is insane:

WeLoveFine.com also has a line of Ralph McQuerrie concept art Tees, some of which have never been sold as merchandise.

Check out www.welovefine.com's complete line of Star Wars tees here!

May the Force be with us all!

Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn't put up much of a fight against Darth Vader in Episode IV. Sure he was grooming Luke to take hold of his destiny, being stronger in death, yadda yadda-- forget all that! Old Obi-Wan never got the chance to show off his skills, but thanks to our friends at Kotobukiya it's his time to shine! As you can see, their new Art FX statue features Ben posed up and ready to slice arms off all day long!

I was lucky enough at Comic-Con to meet Ernie Cline, the fantastic screenwriter of the hilarious movie Fanboys!! If you are as much a Star Wars fan as I am, you'll love every second of this movie and it has a cameo with Carrie Fisher!!! How can you go wrong? And now Ernie has his first novel coming out, Ready Player One. I just finished the book last week and I was hooked from the first page to the last, no joke. It is a suspenseful cyberspace roller coaster read perfect for geeks!! Check out the New York Times review of his book too!

Here's the book synopsis via Deadline:

A teenager named Wade Watts escapes his bleak surrounds by logging into Oasis, a globally networked virtual utopia where users lead idyllic alternate lives. When the game’s eccentric billionaire creator dies, he offers up his fortune as the prize in an elaborate treasure hunt. Watts is pitted against powerful corporate foes and ruthless competitors who’ll do anything, in the Oasis and real world, to reach the treasure first.

I interviewed Ernie about his new book, Star Wars, video games and his DeLorean!

LW: Ok first off, I LOVE the movie Fanboys! It is so damn funny! How were you able to get your script from your desk all the way to Hollywood?

EC: I originally intended for Fanboys to be an ultra-low-budget indie film that I planned to shoot here in Austin. I wrote a part in the script for Harry Knowles to play himself, then gave him the script to see if he'd agree to be in it. Harry really loved my script and posted a glowing review of it on his website, which is read by everyone who works in Hollywood. Harry's review got the attention of a young producer who tracked me down and optioned the script. It took several more years after that, but eventually the movie was bought and produced by the Weinstein Company. It was a long, strange journey.

Happy Monday Star Wars Fans! So I want to start you all off this week with a trailer for a new book coming out, ">Ready Player One. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy which I tore right through. It's Ernie Cline's first novel, you may remember Mr. Cline from that fantastic film I love FANBOYS.

Check out the awesome trailer here:

And here's a synopsis of his book:

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.

It’s the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.

Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.

And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.

For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday’s riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday’s icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes’s oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.

And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.

Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt—among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life—and love—in the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.

A world at stake.

A quest for the ultimate prize.

Are you ready?

Ready Player One hits book stores August 16th!

Had you told me that Queen Elizabeth II and Darth Vader would one day be on the same coin I probably would have said you’re crazy... and I would have been wrong. The island nation of Niue is going to issue legal tender featuring our favorite Star Wars characters on one side and the Queen on the other. Yes, legal tender, the kind that can actually be spent.

So one of the highlights I'd knew I'd be experiencing at Comic-Con, besides my lucky run in with Mark Hamill, was the chance to interview the Mythbusters crew - Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and my good friend from our old Lucasfilm days together Grant Imahara. While most of my crazy cohorts were out finding the hippest geek parties, I curled up in my hotel room, catching up on as many Mythbusters shows and I could, preparing my questions. I had interviewed celebrities before, but something about these guys made me nervous! Why God why???

Tory, Kari, Grant and I got to spend a lovely Saturday morning together discussing all things Mythbusters! These guys are so easy going and so much fun to hang with! We talked about Star Wars, vomit, ear wax candles, RPG's (Not role playing games!), sky diving and Grant's current bachelor status! We even talked about Craig Ferguson's crush on the entire team and poor Geoff Peterson needing some arm repairs...

Check out their awesome interview here!

One of my highlights at this year's Comic-Con was the chance to interview the queen of all GEEK GIRLS, Bonnie Burton! Bonnie is not only the Sr. Editor for Starwars.com and a huge Bettie Page fan but has written several books including: The Star Wars Craft Book, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Planets in Peril, Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars, You Can Draw: Star Wars, Girls Against Girls: Why We Are So Mean To Each Other And How We Can Change.

I just don't how this amazing woman does it all but she does and with a smile to boot!!

I got to spend a momentous hour with Bonnie asking her about her new craft book, her marriage to R2, how she handles all the Star Wars social media, geek girls, cosplay, Seth Green, and other Geek celebrities! I also sat in on the panel "Oh You Sexy Geek" where she gave us geek girls some great advice about being geeky and proud. I walked the Comic-Con floor with her and met Kyle Newman, OMG. Thanks Bon for taking that photo!! She even promised me next time we'll make Star Wars crafts together, CANNOT WAIT!!
