Star Wars

If you asked me who should direct ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ I would tell you I have no earthly idea. I think I would prefer a relatively lesser-known director, like say Matthew Vaughn (hint, hint), who has the chops to pull off the movie successfully (like what Marvel does for most of its movies) rather [...]

We know Disney bought the Star Wars empire. Then, we learned what a good guy George Lucas was when he announced he’d be donating that $4 billion to educational charities. The final piece of that equation has always been what happens to the Star Wars universe in terms of movies, video games, TV shows — [...]

Disney has agreed to purchase LucasFilm for a paltry $4.05 billion. That’s the headline news in a nutshell. But the sound you hear is me hyperventilating and trying to wrap my noggin’ around this. For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next,” said [...]

Star Wars, blow, and? Dr. Dog. Who could ask for more? Be The Void is available now on iTunes and you should definitely pick the album up. It’s one of 2012′s best.

Artist Tim Anderson shows us what Star Wars would have looked like if Sergio Leone had made the science fiction trilogy in Italy instead of George Lucas. I gotta say, I would watch the shit out of Star Wars re-imagined as a spaghetti western. [via buzzfeed]

It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Harrison Ford playing the role of scruffy nerf herder Han Solo, but thanks to Brow Beat we can contemplate what Star Wars would have been like had Kurt Russell — every bit the rogue that Ford is — been cast as Han Solo and had William Katt (The [...]

Okay, I take it back. The Cookie Monster version was great, but this is even better. I can only imagine how much time and editing skills went into this Star Wars supercut of 2012′s standout jam. Bonus points for not cutting corners by using the same block of editing for each chorus. That’s just dedication [...]

HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ gets a bit more awesome with the addition of lightsabers. Yeah, like this needs an more commentary from me. [via thewrap]
