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:
This story comes via Slashdot from the desk of Ghent on the new Star Wars blogs. Ghent’s 7-year old son had interesting observations regarding the original trilogy after having watched the prequels: “Look… Obi-Wan is pretending he doesn’t know R2-D2.” “Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?” (with great concern) A lot […]
Now this came in a couple of days ago courtesy of Perry- and while I can’t see myself buying these T-shirts, but if you’re the kind of person who would, I understand! The web site, Angry Yoda: Dismemories (yes, that’s the name!), creates crazy t-shirts with dismemberments from the Star Wars movies drawn like my […]
UPDATE: $50mn OPENING DAY
Can we sink the Titanic? It’s too early to say, but many other records are going to be rewritten within the next few days as Episode III takes on the world.
This one- this movie- is for you. Personally. It is a big fat present with a bow on top specially gift wrapped for you. You who feared, doubted and secretly dreaded that the prequels wouldn’t live up to everything you had dreamt of. Henceforth there will be no more Star Wars movies and this one is our parting gift. SPOILER FREE
It’s 3AM and I just got back; I will keep this short. The last 45 minutes of this movie are the most satisfying in Star Wars history. Remember the kid inside you that heard Vader say ‘The circle is now complete’ and wondered what it was all about? Remember wondering who that old crazy Ben […]
The end is upon us. In five hours, I will be sitting in a packed theatre full of the faithful; and in 2.5 hours from then it will be over. Faithful readers, this site shall live on. And many others like it. And out there in the world children will keep discovering the films for […]
As I type this, people are watching The Phantom Menace after having sat through the original trilogy since 06:00 AM this morning. The evening will end with Revenge of the Sith; but they’ve had fans, costumes, the Royal Philharmonic playing the themes and all kinds of general mayhem. The best report online is at BBC […]
The official web site of the Cannes Film Festival has a lot of cool pictures of the screening. Natalie Portman looks very different with her shaved head for the upcoming Wachowski brothers’ movie. George Lucas had the following to say about the political context of the film: “Because this is the back story, and one […]
Just saw their early review on TV; overall they love the movie but are not impressed with the dialogue. Following points stood out from their review: Overall probably the best Star Wars since Empire. Dialogue is clunky, pedestrian. Dramatic moments lose some of the effect because of limited power of the dialogue. Though we know […]
Dan Madsen, former editor of the Insider has launched a web site to host a letter to thank George Lucas for sharing his saga with us. While I wouldn’t go as far as hosting a web site solely for that purpose, I do believe my web site itself is it’s own ‘thank you’ to the maker. [...]
Two weeks until the final film of the saga! I’ve missed out on a lot of the pre-movie hype this time (life intervened), but that has left me absolutely spoiler-free. I don’t know anything besides the names of the toys that came out last month. No planet names, no character names (besides Grievous) and not […]
The Script Howard News Service has an article about religion and morality in Star Wars style. Read it all here. “It’s especially interesting that the characters that represent the good side of the Force — like Obi-Wan Kenobi — stress the importance of following your feelings. But the characters that represent the dark side — […]
Director Steven Spielberg talks with the Empire magazine about Star Wars. You can read more of the interview here, but you’ll have to buy the magazine if you want to read the complete article. In an exclusive interview with the director, Empire asked Spielberg whether such a dream team could ever come to fruition. ‘I’ve […]
Actor David Prowse hopes he gets the role of Darth Vader again in Episode III. The 66 years old actor thinks young Hayden Christensen isn’t up to the job. This article appeared in the Daily Telegraph lately; you can read it all here. The 66-year-old, who suffers from arthritis and walks with the aid of […]
