No Bluth Reunion on the New Season of Arrested Development & Why Disney Should Take the Same Path with Star Wars

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 […]

5 Actresses this Computer Program Would Cast as Jaina Solo in Star Wars Episode VII

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 […]

Six Great Things Disney can do with Star Wars

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 byline that set the world on fire was the fact that the merger has set in motion plans for Star Wars Episode VII, already scheduled for a 2015 release. […]

Podcast #52 – Star Wars is Back!

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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.

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

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 possibly Yoda. Based on each of those candidates’ respective bodies of work, all three are admirable selections. Thing is, […]

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

by Jay Malone

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 […]

Star Wars Celebration VI Report! Star Wars In 60 Minutes

by Jay Malone

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 […]

Star Wars Celebration VI Report! The Vocal Stars of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Panel

by Jay Malone

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 Karate Kid Episode IV: A New Outlook – Comparing the Star Wars & Karate Kid Trilogies

by Sarah Morin

Way back in the dark ages of 1996 before Wi-Fi and even cable in college dorm rooms, my college roommates and I suffered through a near complete disconnect from the real world. It seems like a lifetime ago, considering how today we are all connected to everything 24/7. One of the results of this disconnect […]

UnderScoopFire Exclusive: An Interview with Sarlacc Pit

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 […]

Tank’s Toy Chest Episode 4 – May the Farce Be With You

by Chris Tanski

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 […]
