Posted by DevanJedi in Humor on March 30th, 2009

Mad page 4
An amazing series of scans on Flickr from user Drhaggis that show an old 1982 Mad Magazine humorous article that predicts several events that came in the prequels almost 20 years later. It talks about Yoda on Kashyyk, the creation of C3PO, Vader being created by the force and so much more.

And on the guitar, from the great dunes of Tatooine, the great wamp-rat slayer Luke Skywalker! That’s Leia on the vocals, Chewy on the drums. I’d pay a lot to see them live.

Lately StarWarsShop.com has been coming up with all kinds of crazy merchandise. I like it, but sometimes maybe they overdo it. Like these Star Wars Rocks boxer shorts. Seriously.

On BBC Tonight

Posted by DevanJedi in Films, Classic Trilogy, Fandom, Site News on May 24th, 2007

UPDATE: They did use a little bit of what I said- in the first minute or so of the program. You can listen here

I might be on BBC World Service today on a program called “The World” The World Today . They’re doing a special on 30 years of Star Wars and I just spoke with a producer for the show. They’ve recorded my comments, but I’m not sure if they will use them. I was speaking quite naturally until they said “We’re recording now” at which point I became nervous and incoherent!

Of course, if

Posted by DevanJedi in Films on May 26th, 2006

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, the 4th Star Wars Celebration will be held in Los Angeles in May of 2007. It will be a 5-day event from the 24h to the 28th of May with the first day reserved for all Fan Club members.

Running Tie Fighter Collector’s CD on Windows XP

Posted by DevanJedi in Games, Classic Gaming on May 22nd, 2006

FlickrGaming.net has a ‘how-to’ on getting the old Tie Fighter Collector’s CD edition game to work on Windows XP. The miracle answer to all of this is an OpenSource DOS emulation tool called The VDMSound Project. It works with Windows XP (SP2 – not sure about SP1), 2000, and NT, but not Windows 95. Unlike most DOS emulators, this one also includes a complete emulation package for sound – so you don’t have to mess with crazy extra configurations just to get some audio going.

The Secret Star Wars History of Pembroke Dock

Posted by DevanJedi in Films, Classic Trilogy on May 21st, 2006

This is a cool story about a small town in Wales where the Millenium Falcon was built. For a long time the local folk believed that a flying saucer was being built as those involved were sworn to secrecy.For three months they worked on the only full-scale Millennium Falcon, the spaceship from the original Star Wars trilogy, to be built for the films.
The code name was Magic Roundabout and since this was the fan frenzy surrounding The Empire Strikes Back, the word finally did spread.

What are the Stormtroopers?

Posted by DevanJedi in Star Wars FAQ, Films FAQ, Troops FAQ on May 11th, 2006

The last evolution in the line of the Clone Troopers, encased in hardened white plastoid armor, these Imperial shock troops neutralize resistance to the New Order and are totally loyal to the Emperor even in the face of certain death. Used as first-strike forces, they cannot be bribed or blackmailed. Stormtroopers live in a totally-disciplined environment and are militaristic to the core.
