We’ve had the Revenge of the Sith game in the demo units at work the past week. Someone’s entered a cheat code in the XBox version and unlocked all the movies. The game’s Anakin ending is pretty damn cool, actually. There’s a part of me that wants the film to suck and suck hard. WhyContinue reading “On Star Wars Ambivalence”

On Fan Films
Slate.com posted an article today on Revelations, a Star Wars fan film. I’ve not seen the film–the pity of a dial-up connection–but I’ve seen a few Star Wars fan films. The classic Troops I have on DVD. The article’s idea is that with Lucas finishing what he wanted to say in the Star Wars universeContinue reading “On Fan Films”
On the LEGO Star Wars Artwork
At Easter I gave my sister a few of the display sleeves we received at the store for the LEGO Star Wars video game. She manages a frame shop, and I asked for her to frame one–preferably the XBox cover, but she suggested the PlayStation 2 cover because the artwork was cleaner on the “front.”Continue reading “On the LEGO Star Wars Artwork”
On Commander Cody
Playing LEGO Star Wars the other day I had to complete a mission and hunt down General Grievous with Obi-Wan and his partner. A clone trooper, named Commander Cody.

On a PG-13 Star Wars
Film Threat, in their latest Star Wars report by Pete Vonder Haar, contains this nugget of information: Lucas went on “60 Minutes” recently to discuss that this latest film, the “darkest and most violent” of the series, would likely be the first in the Star Wars saga to receive anything more severe than a PG.Continue reading “On a PG-13 Star Wars”
On Lego Star Wars
I receive the LEGO Club Magazine every other month. The latest issue arrived yesterday. The issues contains an ad for the PS2 and XBox game, LEGO Star Wars, coming out at the end of the month. I’m positively giddy thinking about it. It’s freakin’ LEGOs! It’s freakin’ Star Wars. Okay, it’s Prequel Trilogy Star Wars,Continue reading “On Lego Star Wars”
On Wookies
Today’s Penny Arcade comic may be one of the funniest takes on Star Wars I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine Uncle George will be pleased, but who gives a toss what Uncle George thinks? He put fart jokes in The Phantom Menace. It’s only a short hop from there to crude, sexual humor. Enjoy!
