Let us be the first to say it – May the 4th be with you! OK, technically Star Wars Day isn’t until tomorrow, but nobody visits our site on the weekends so we had to post this a day early, and frankly, this is a topic that we should have tackled long ago (in [...]

At last, we have come to the end of the Prequel Era. As Disney commences with re-defining the Star Wars brand, or “brand-scrubbing” as this EW column puts it, it seems Lucasfilm is trying to wipe Anakin Skywalker and the Clonetroopers from our consciousness (have at it). Last week they announced that we’d already [...]

The 5 Worst Star Wars Knockoff Movies

Thumbnail image for The 5 Worst Star Wars Knockoff Movies

One of the great things about Star Wars is the way it took corny clichés from the golden era of science fiction pulps – stuff like Flash Gordon or The Lensman series – and gave them new life in a film that looks amazing and feels epic. But there’s a thin line between awesome and awful [...]

…or her, I guess. I’ve never sexed a tauntaun before. In fact, give me sec- let me see if my Vintage Collection tauntaun was sculpted with gender specificity in mind… Nope. The top image is an excerpt from the ongoing Star Wars webcomic at Blue Milk Special. Big thanks to Full of Sith for posting [...]

Whether as a child you wanted Wicket to hang out in your home or as an adult you wanted a visit from Princess Leia in her slave outfit, everyone who’s watched a Star Wars movie has harbored the dream of having their favorite Star Wars character over for a weekend (right?). Of course, not all [...]

By now you’ve heard, or maybe you haven’t – Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that the first Star Wars stand alone film will be based on Yoda. Word is they are also looking at making a Jabba the Hutt stand alone movie- wait, didn’t I suggest a Jabba gangster pic last October? So is this [...]

There’s a report on Pajiba that gives Arrested Development fans some insight into the new season that debuts on Netflix this spring. From the article: “Arrested Development” is not exactly a full reunion of the cast, as each episode will focus on only one character. Of the 14 episodes, only Jason Bateman will appear in [...]

Toy Review – Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett

Thumbnail image for Toy Review – Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett

Love at first sight. The Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale Boba Fett figure is as breathtaking as you’d imagine. Based on one of the most divisive characters in the Star Wars Universe, no one would argue that Sideshow’s 1/6 scale rendition of the famed bounty hunter isn’t one of their best. Admittedly, I’m a Sideshow [...]

Two things about me that are no secret: I am a huge Star Wars fan, and I have a lot of time on my hands. Sometimes those two things work in harmony and a post like this is the result. Last week, in my Six Great Things Disney can do with Star Wars and on [...]

By now everyone within 2 million light years of a Death Star blast radius has heard the news. Disney has acquired Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion.

The last 36 hours have certainly been interesting. Hard to believe it has only been a day and a half since the news broke of Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, as the internet is abuzz with a new hope. We scrambled the X-Wings and got together Halloween night to record our reactions to the news, [...]

Star Wars Character Power Rankings: Post-Return of the Jedi

Thumbnail image for Star Wars Character Power Rankings: Post-Return of the Jedi

Ask most Star Wars fans who the most powerful character in the Star Wars Universe is, and you’ll get a small handful of unique responses. My guess is most will say Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, or maybe Master Yoda. Based on each of those candidates’ respective bodies of work, all three are admirable selections. Thing [...]

Star Wars Celebration VI Report! Closing Time for the Galaxy’s Greatest Party

August 28, 2012 Star Wars

It could have been a fluke. In fact, I was pretty sure it was going to be a fluke, and logic dictated that it should have been a fluke – something that I’d built up in my head to the point of being legend, and that it couldn’t possibly live up to my rose [...]

Thumbnail image for Star Wars Celebration VI Report! Star Wars In 60 Minutes

When one of the panels you attend has George Lucas making a surprise appearance, it takes a LOT for another event to surpass it as far as levels of fun are concerned. Star Wars In 60 Minutes was just such a panel. The show was simple enough: a troupe of tremendously kinetic actors would perform [...]

I’m fascinated by voices. I blame it on Jim Henson, George Carlin, and Frank Oz. The Muppets fascinated me as a kid – but even when I was younger, I could pick out that Big Bird and Oscar had the same voice…just at different levels of intensity or attitude. The same can be said [...]

The Sarlacc Pit was one of the most ominous settings in the Star Wars galaxy. Tatooinians shuddered at the mere mention of it. Inhabitants of other systems had heard unnerving tales of countless souls meeting their end at the terrifying Sarlacc Pit. Today we take a look at the actor behind the hole, the talented [...]

Sure, I had my fair share of Transformers, He-Man and G.I. Joe figures in my youth. The one property that I habitually collected was Star Wars. I had a ship or play set here or there, but it was the figures that my parents dropped their hard-earned cash on. The crazy thing was that series back [...]
