Unless you’ve been living under a rock I’m sure you’ve heard that the entire Star Wars series is set to be released on blu-ray.  It had been rumored that some additional special effects changes were being made to the films in preparation for their release in High Definition (HD).  People have started receiving their review [...]

Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 4

2 Comments Posted by on August 17, 2011

I haven’t talked much about The Clone Wars mainly because I haven’t been following it as closely as I expected to originally.  That might be in part because I got fairly bored with it early on.  However, I did start watching some of the season 3 episodes and found it to be fairly fun with [...]

Han Solo and Chewbacca Reunited

2 Comments Posted by on July 29, 2011

Harrison Ford was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week and in one of the sketches he actually reference Star Wars.  This in and of itself is a big deal as Ford has distanced himself from the Star Wars franchise for a long time.  The sketch is funny and definitely worth sharing.  At the very least its [...]

Super Bowl Commercials

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 8, 2011

The Super Bowl is well known as a time for companies to show off their funny commercials.  This year was no different as there was a lot of funny stuff.  I’ve embedded a few of my favorites below.  To be honest my favorite is probably the Darth Vader and Volkswagen one.  I probably linked to too [...]

Tron Legacy + Star Wars = Geekwood

3 Comments Posted by on January 31, 2011

This is too cool to not share.  Someone has done a phenomenal job making a fan trailer for a Star Wars and Tron Legacy mash up.  They took the audio from one the Tron Legacy trailers and added scenes from all the Star Wars movies, and it all came together surprisingly well.

Merry Christmas

From all of us to you, Merry Christmas.  Hopefully Santa Claus was good to everyone this year!  As for myself I think I’m off to watch some Christmas movies from my childhood (i.e. The Santa Clause series and maybe Home Alone 2).  Whatever you do today, make sure enjoy some time with family and friends [...]

How To Talk To Your Kids About Star Wars

Leave a Comment Posted by on December 8, 2010

This video does pose a good question.  The other thing to determine is in which order do you show the movies to kids?  I think I would go the route of showing the Original Trilogy first and then the prequels.  If you watch the prequels first it ruins the twist in The Empire Strikes Back [...]

Family Guy: It’s A Trap!

2 Comments Posted by on November 19, 2010

Whether you’re a Star Wars fan, Family Guy fan, or a fan of both shows you have to admit the parody films of Star Wars have been just brilliant.  Family Guy is about to wrap up their parody trilogy that follows the original Star Wars Trilogy.  The third and final movie is entitled ‘Family Guy: [...]

Admiral Ackbar As A College Mascot

Yes, you read that headline correct.  A variety of news outlets are reporting that Rebel Alliance leader Admiral Ackbar is in the running to be the next mascot of Ole Miss. Ole Miss had a mascot called Colonel Reb before, however due to his ties to the confederacy he was removed as mascot of the [...]

Star Trek vs. Star Wars

Okay, I have to admit, this is really well done for a YouTube video.  Much better SFX than I have seen before.
