George Lucas speaks with Walt Mossberg at the D: All Things Digital Conference. Watch out for Lucas Arts’ Jim Ward give a presentation on next year’s Force Unleashed and new AI technologies being developed.

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!

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. The most important announcement for collectors: One of the highlights for fans at a Star Wars convention is the chance to buy unique merchandise, including an exclusive, limited-edition action figure. Because this has led to bottlenecks and long lines in the past, the Celebration IV store will be bigger than ever, self-service, well-stocked with merchandise, have plenty of check-out lanes…and be open 24 hours a day from the opening of the show on

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.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith won two Saturn Awards yesterday: for Best Science Fiction Film and for Best Score. Good choices!

We were sure it would never happen- we would never get the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy on DVD. For all future generations, Greedo would always have shot first, the effects would have been flawless and so on.

And now Lucas changes his mind. More DVD money for them, I guess. The DVD will be available only for a limited time (=mad fan rush) between September and December this year, but the trouble is we all know it won’t be for a limited time. We’ve all been burnt before. Remember the Celebration “exclusive” toys that were later available online for all fan club members? Remember the multiple versions of multiple DVDs we’ve had.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has been nominated for 3 MTV Movie Awards:

Newspaper clippings

Wrote this with my sister many, many years ago when this site began. Recently rediscovered.
(later re-done by The Beatles)
Yesterday, the rebellion seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, ObiWan’s half the man he used to be,
And his shadow’s hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go I don’t know he wouldn’t say. (“Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can imagine?”)
I kept whining along, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, the practice droid was such an easy game to play.
Now losing limbs is here to stay…
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

From the Lines
Hi! I (DevanJedi) just saw it in Hindi; and I must say, the dubbing was done well. I knew every line in English, so could tell the difference. It was well done; but for a bit of a heavy dose of  Hindi! Another problem was that the ‘profecy of the chosen one’ was reffered to as ’ chosen by God’! God? In Star Wars?

In English : Qui Gon: He is the chosen one.
In Hindi : Qui Gon : He has been sent by God.

The voices were well done;

I finally made it to the Star Wars exhibit at the Museum of Science here in Boston and it was worth every penny ($5 with a discount I got; up to $20 for normal people). From full scale models to costumes to replicas to miniatures and of course, the most important part, using it all to get kids interested in real science. I took 100s of photographs for you all, of which 59 of the best Museum of Science Star Wars pictures are uploaded and ready for consumption.

There was a multimedia tour that I

While there are tons of people who surf the internet in search of Star Wars mp3s, midis, sound clips, videos and jpegs; a lot of people would just like to find new and cool Star Wars stuff on the internet. To that end, I present to you two tools:
