So what’s it like for Princess Leia after she got captured by the Stormtroopers at the beginning of “Star Wars”? Well College Humor is doing a series of original shorts that exposes what everyone’s favorite Rebel Princess went through during her captivity. Okay, so they don’t come out and say that it’s Star Wars, but come on, it’s Star Wars.
Check out six very nice looking posters for “Star Wars”, featuring three Prince Leias (yes, including Slave Princess Leia, which is, let’s face it, a must if you’re going to be doing anything fictional involving the “Star Wars” universe) and the other three taking place in the Mos Eisley Cantina.
Regardless of how you feel about the “Star Wars” prequels, you gotta admit, getting your hands on all the “Star Wars” movies on Blu-ray is a must for any self-respecting sci-fi fan. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will be releasing the saga in three distinct sets sometime in September later this year. Until then, here are the three different sets you can get.
Honestly, watching/listening to Red Letter Media’s reviews of George Lucas’ “Star Wars” prequels are about a gazillion times more entertaining than the movies themselves. Here’s their latest for the last of the prequels, “Revenge of the Sith”, which had me rolling in the aisles like a madman. I honestly don’t know how they cram so much insanely funny bits into every little second of the review. I mean, you can rewind this thing and watch it again and get even MORE gags that they’ve hidden between the lines.
Shoulda known ol Darth Vader had more going on than just running around trying to crush the Rebellion. This video from his personal library proves it.
Stop! Vader time!
Who doesn’t love Star Wars? Or 3D? (Okay, I can do without every single one of my movies being turned into 3D, but that’s another gripe.) Now, books in 3D — that’s kinda cool. Thanks to the good folks behind the “Star Wars Millennium Falcon 3D” book, we have three copies of the book to give away to three lucky winners. Head on below for details.
Remember how cool it was to be a “Star Wars” fan in the late 90′s, that gloriously heady period between 1997 and 1999? Between the special editions raking in cash hand over fist in theaters and the flood of anticipation over the new film, fans who had over a decade of famine suddenly had more than they ever dreamed of. That all vanished like the morning dew at first light when “Episode 1″ unspooled, and fandom spent the remainder of the summer taking anti-depressant and making frequent calls to the local suicide hot line.
If you’re one of those people who doesn’t think “The Empire Strikes Back” is one of the best sci-fi films ever made, I don’t even wanna know you. Ever. For those of you who appreciates “Empire’s” status in the world of sci-fi, here are some fantastic behind-the-scenes pictures from the movie via Vanity Fair.
Check out this very cool “Star Wars” poster by Rhys Cooper, titled “Salacious B. Crumb”. The poster is currently on sale from Mondo, the Alamo Drafthouse’s collectible art boutique. Take a gander at more of Cooper’s work at his official site here.
The big news out of Skywalker Ranch has George Lucas working on re-releasing the entire “Star Wars” franchise once again, this time in 3D. Heat Vision cites unnamed sources as saying that Lucas is close to re-releasing the franchise back into theaters in 3D starting as early as 2012.
The not-entirely-up-to-snuff quality of the three “Star Wars” prequels notwithstanding, George Lucas’ “Star Wars” saga was made for a format like Blu-ray, and now according to the Skywalker Ranch head honcho himself, all six movies in the franchise will be arriving on Blu-ray sometime in 2011.
And what a force! Let the Leia in your life channel her dark side in these brilliant looking “Star Wars” Storm Trooper and She-Vader leather corsets.
We’ve been hearing about Seth Green’s (Robot Chicken) Star Wars comedy in bits and pieces. On the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards, Seth his own self provided a little more illumination.
Darth Vader stars in an ad for GPS maker TomTom. Vader’s been hired to provide the voice track that guides you to the dark side.
It’s pretty good. I hope Seth Green get Vader in on the funny in his “Star Wars” comedy coming soon. Thanks Scifiwire.
I was the perfect age to be bug eyed in teenage lust when I first saw the lovely Leia in slave girl gear at the appendages of the slimy Jabba in “Return Of The Jedi”, the last Star Wars movie that made any sense.
