Try www.swma.net, the poser props guild and the 3d comic collective. They all have star wars stuff the first one has a large amount of star wars stuff

The addresses archlite gave you are about the best Star Wars resources I know of. There are a couple of ways to make characters "talk". The first is the very long-winded way - applying phenomes frame by frame (not recommended). The second way is to purchase Mimic from Lipsinc. This sychronises mouth motions to WAV and/or text input. There is an alternative to Mimic, a free web-based lip-synch programme by Underdog. It does need a little tweaking to get perfect, but it's an excellent piece of s/ware. And no, you can't transpose a character to Bryce and still retain the mouth motions. Actually, that's not strictly true, it can be done, but you'd have to export an OBJ file for each frame of the animation and set each OBJ file up in Bryce. Paul

SWMA doesn't have characters in the way of poser. There are a number of figures in the works that I've heard about or seen early design images of. Also go to the props guild in the character section. There are a number of Starwars figures.
