Game developer blog update time, and it's rather squid-alien flavored. Yep, the guys behind LucasArts' Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron has recently updated their online journal, and this time it's about Admiral Ackbar and how his existence in the game gave rise to one of the developers' more cherished childhood memories.

Here's a snippet of the blog entry, verbatim:

If you remember -- and I sure do -- Admiral Ackbar was a "send-away-for" figure that you could only get after you sent in a certain amount of proof of purchase tabs. Well, I sent away for him as soon as I found this out, and one a warm summer day, I received a small gray package with his glorious figure inside.
