My dear wife, forever may she reign, has never seen “Star Wars” or “The Empire Strikes Back” or any of the other Wookie loving, fun filled, Lucas spawned films of mixed quality. I’ve been kind of saving the first trilogy for her for the day she could view it on the big screen TV in all it’s potential 1080P glory.

The Robot Chicken Guys to Work On A Star Wars Comedy
Now I’m pretty sure this is not a late April Fools joke. Pretty sure. Mostly sure. I mean it’s the 5th right? I’ll forge ahead. Seth Green and Matthew Senreich are reportedly working on a “Star Wars” based comedy with the blessing of Sir George himself. This is really confusing. Could George have stopped taking himself so seriously?
Crazy Person Behind Epic Star Wars Episode 1 Review Returns To Destroy Episode 2
We’ve been waiting for it and now it’s here. Mr. Plinkett, the deranged but brilliant alter-ego of Milwakee film maker Mike Stoklasa returns to bring us an 88 minute utter dismantling of “Attack Of The Clones”. I knew Attack was bad (I frowned through the whole thing), but now I know just how bad it was. I remember how badly I wanted to like it after the “Phantom Menace” disaster. I would have grasped at anything at all good in the thing but there wasn’t a shred of the first three movies in first two prequels.
Live Action Star Wars Series Coming Sooner Then Expected?
I wasn’t holding my breath for the arrival of the promised or hinted at Star Wars live action television series. The Lucas people are pretty good at keeping secrets and we are hopeful that the time being spent will make for a better product. I had assumed it was a few years away. This may not be the case.
Lego Blade Runner And Star Wars As Epic As You Would Hope
Hard to fully describe the complete heights of awesome that both of these LEGO Sci-Fi dramas reach in their portrayals of the Roy Batty death scene in “Blade Runner” and a made up but wicked light saber battle, “Star Wars” style. I love people with ridiculous amounts of time on their hands. Thanks Topless Robot.
Even The Empire Needs A P.R. Firm
Being an evil Empire, Darth, The Emperor and his pals need some extra incentives to lure recruits away from the Rebellion with their beautiful desert, frozen or swampy bases in the hidden and far away corners of the galaxy. If a nice white helmet isn’t enough for you, you might be persuaded by these propaganda posters that demonstrate clearly that might does make right. Thanks to cliffchiang and io9 for the word.
Dubai Is The Future Coruscant
Coruscant is the capitol city of the “Star Wars” universe for all you non Nerds out there just checking into Scificool to see how your neurons could be functioning. Dubai (if it remains solvent) is the instant Sci-Fi city of your dreams if you had billions and billions and maybe billions of oil cash and you wanted to create something in the sand that will remain after the oil gets eaten like your milkshake.
Darth Vader As He Might Have Been
Just a little nod to all you Darth Daddy lovers out there. This is a full sized new helmet for the Sith Dark Lord based on early concept renderings from genius Ralph McQuarrie. The helmet is leather lined and a touch more obviously menacing than the helmet that would eventually encapsulate the scarred dome of the morally confused Anakin Skywalker.
Hear Darth Vaders Voice Before The Evil Treatments
Of course, most of you know that the guy running around in the Darth Vader getup in “Star Wars” was not the owner of Darth’s singular bad ass voice (James Earl Jones) but David Prowse, an English man and a fine sturdy lad, but with a voice like Mr Smithers.
The Live Action Star Wars Series Is Still Alive: An Update
The creative wheel spins deliberately down there at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California, the home of all things Lucas. I don’t mind that, because crafting a live action “Star Wars” series worthy of the spirit of the thing is a job that requires great care and hopefully many screenings of the original three movies.
Teaser Trailer For The People Vs George Lucas
When I think of George, many things pop into my head. I am deeply conflicted in ways only a Nerd can be. Without George there would be no Star Wars at all. Does the creator of something also have the right to destroy it? Does art always belong to the artist or does it enter the public domain? George believes “Star Wars” is his I think and in his mind it is if it has never been seen. He seems totally immune to criticism, even obvious and virtually unanimous criticism. Or at least so it seems.
Hilarious Edit Of Star Wars Opening Screen Crawl
I don’t mean to be mean to George Lucas, really. I mean after all, we wouldn’t have the obvious sublime awesomeness of the original three “Star Wars” movies without George. I’m not sure now how much creative input he actually had in those movies since the last three films looked like they were made by a completely different person, but I’m ready to say that without George, no Han, no Yoda, no Wookie.
Epic Star Wars Critic Mike Stoklasa Will Soon Review Episode 2: Attack Of The Clones
I really hope you’ve seen the incredible 70 minute review of the “Phantom Menace” by Mike Stoklasa. It’s truly a work of genius. After getting a ridiculous number (over a million) of views on YouTube, hilariously eviscerating Episode 1, Mike is going to be back shortly with a review of “Attack Of The Clones”. I can’t possibly express to you how well this 70 minute criticism piece works as a film all by itself. You must watch it. A teaser preview of the next installment has hit the world and it’s below for your enjoyment.
George Lucas Stars On The Daily Show In The Most Arrogant Interview Ever
Oh George. Can’t anyone get through to you? I thought that perhaps Jon Stewart, among the most trusted people in media , could somehow shine a light into that perfect world of yours where George knows best and the rest of us hate Jar Jar Binks because we’re just too old to understand.
Surviving The Frozen Wastes Of HOTH Inside A Tauntaun
Man I love Nerds. I haven’t completely figured out my own official designation yet. I am a hybrid, perhaps leaning into Nerd a bit from my previous mostly Geek. Doesn’t really matter though. We both rule the world. So you plan on vacationing on HOTH, the icy, desolate and cavey Rebel base last featured in “The Empire Strikes Back”. You’re asking yourself, if I get caught outside the base after sundown and I’m feeling a bit chilly, how do I keep frost free until morning?
