Star Wars links - and we need some banners

Lord Scourge

So I'm planning on making a very selective thread in Announcements of other sites we recommend on the internet. In some cases, I'm going to contact the site owners to see if they're interested in a link/banner exchange. In order to do that, of course, we need some banners for them to choose from.

So first, anyone who would like to make a banner for this site, please post it in this thread - most website link banners are 480x60 pixels, but I've seen them as large as 600x120 pixels without people complaining that it was too big.

I'm also making this the official thread for people to post links to other Star Wars sites on the internet. Even if a particular site does not end up being recommended on the thread I'll be making in the Announcement forum, this thread will be a place for anyone to find various SW links.

Please do not post a link to the awful supershadow site - it is utter idiocy, and if you think otherwise, I would recommend doing some web searches and seeing what other SW sites say about that one.

Now then, my recommended links...

Most important are the official sites of those companies that create Star Wars:

http://www.starwars.com/
http://forums.starwars.com/index.jspa
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/welcome
http://www.darkhorse.com/zones/starwars/index.php
http://www.darkhorse.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=1
http://www.lucasarts.com/
http://www.potterstyle.com/delrey/starwars/

Next are the other important and impressive Sith sites we have found:

http://www.thesithcouncil.com/SithForum/index.php
http://www.sithism.com/forums/
http://www.thesithorder.com/
http://www.sithlore.com/

Questions are often raised about where to expand one’s knowledge about Star Wars. The following are all very informative fan sites which are useful when researching information about Star Wars and the Expanded Universe. Some are more accurate than others, but they are all fairly accurate and tend to mention where the official information can be found:

http://www.nav-computer.com/
http://www.starwarz.com/

http://www.theforce.net/
http://boards.theforce.net/

I made a banner even though I'ma Jedi...

Isaah

I would create a banner, but my photoshop is acting up, and I cannot. So, if I may, I'll leave a suggestion:

size: 300 x 60
render(character in banner): Either Darth Vader, Count Dooku, or Sidious.

Use that same "Sith Lords" picture, somewhere in the left side. Then, add the render into the banner on the right, make it somewhat large, so it shows on the face, possibly with the lightsaber. Try not to leave any blank spaces, enlarge pictures if necessary. Possibly even add sabers into the background, fade/blend them so they look good.

That's just a suggestion, but you don't have to use it.

This is a 300 x 60 banner:

Huge Necro Post here, But I was wondering if anyone had made any banners? If not I could request some on rebels. I know padme1200, DoM and a few others make some great work on Photoshop.
