Scanman returns with some more interesting info from the Episode II Incredible Cross Sections book. He sent us a report yesterday which you'll want to check out. With this new report, a couple of items are new while the others confirm some previously reported items from Episode-X and Cinescape. Highlight to read:
* The LAAT (Low-Altitude Assualt Transport) comes in both "/i" (infantry) and "/c" (cargo) versions.
* The AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) is a six-legged walker with guns fore and aft. The success of this model lead to the future development of the AT-AT, AT-ST and the AT-HE (All Terrain Heavy Inforcer).
* Padm? Amidala descends from the throne of Naboo to an appointment on the Senate and is replaced by Queen Jamillia. The new Queen concentrates on Naboo's domestic affairs, entrusting her external powers to Senator Amidala.
* The Naboo Cruiser is not armed, but has recharge sockets in it's wings to carry Naboo N-1 fighters through hyperspace and has a more powerful shield than the older Royal Starship.
* The "hotrod airspeeder" isn't owned by Anakin. He "borrows" it from a Senatorial parking zone in order to chase Zam Wessell. The airspeeder actually belongs to Simon Greyshade, a new Senator for the Vorzyd sector who also races it during his spare time. (As previously reported, Simon Greyshade is actually a character from the old Marvel Star Wars comics. He's not necessarily new. - Eds.)
This book will be hitting stores on April 23rd. It's definitely one you'll want to add to your collection.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches.

They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
