Old Master Ben Administrator Joined: 10 Nov 2007 Posts: 2254 Location: Georgia http://www.eucantina.net/ The EUCantina.net is going with a new look. In honor of the two biggest Star Wars events since 2005, we’ve decided to change the theme of our website to celebrate. From now until the release of The Force Unleashed, we will be blue. Our “EU going Blue” summer centers around Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie and The Force Unleashed video game. Besides obvious site updates, a few special features are going to be added. To start, the noticeable new color scheme has been created to go with our new banner (courtesy of Rebel Trading Post.com). We’ve also added two new countdowns next to our headline news slideshow. The two new buttons on the top of the sidebar do link to our Forums and the Blogs for quicker access. Of course, the Blog button isn’t working yet, and that’s a site update that will be coming up soon, and will be a major event. The Force Unleashed and Clone Wars image galleries have been made up to date, so be sure to check those out for all of the latest pictures. Those can be found on our Media Knowledge Center and The EU Unleashed pages. Don’t forget to keep checking on those two pages, as new content is constantly added. As of now, they include special podcasts, the image galleries, trailers and videos, and much more. A new feature for the two upcoming Clone Wars video games can be found here. This will provide exclusive and in depth coverage of the new games, including videos and image galleries, soon to come. Also, we have too big interviews coming up in September. We’ll chat with Karen Traviss, who is suspect to be working on the novel for the Clone Wars film. We are also working on getting an interview with Haden Blackman in the same month. We hope that you enjoy all of the updates and work that have been put into the site.

I happen to think it looks more professional this way and with the buttons and countdowns. _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin. New to the forums?

Maybe the blue with the old banner. ________ IOLITE VAPORIZER REVIEW Last edited by Jedi_Christopher on Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:54 am; edited 1 time in total

For those of you who don't like it that much, I know change it kinda hard-- I still am surprised when I come to EUC. It will be going back to brown/tan, but we changed the color for a reason _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin. New to the forums? Introduce yourself in the Spaceport! Need help?

Flyboy EUC Staff Joined: 14 May 2008 Posts: 75 Location: London, UK I gotta say, seeing as how blue is my favourite colour, I'm loving the new look! The new banner and countdown timers are cool too. I think changing the forums to a matching blue scheme would be brilliant, and I wish it wouldn't go back to brown. Great job guys. _________________
