Talk about putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. I just noticed this glowing review of R*L*M’s bashfest of ROTS from a “shanerjedi” on TFN:
I think this is his best review yet because it sums up perfectly the problems afflicting all 3 films.
I especially liked his breakdown of how the films were shot with comparisons between action scenes and dialogue scenes. Devastating.
Who is “shanerjedi?” Why he’s the Lucasfilm/Saga/Prequel Trilogy Forum Manager!
Scotland’s Daily Record has a fun, short interview with Clone Wars’s Ashley Eckstein. She talks about the show and Ahsoka’s fate.
Hope you are all having/have had a Merry Christmas!
Spike is running Eps I-III today and Eps IV-VI tomorrow. Right now on Spike HD, they’re running TPM. Boy, I can’t wait to see this in 3D!
I’m looking at some scans of an old letterzine from June 1986–what we fans had prior to message boards and social media–and included in listings for fanzines and self-published fan novels was this little gem:
REVENGE OF THE SITH: Nearly twenty years have passed since Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has fled to the desert world of Tatooine, condemned by the Alliance along with the entire Jedi Order. At the Sanctuary there, training has continued in secret as Luke prepares for a future in which the Jedi Knights will again take their rightful places in the galaxy. But the Lords of the Sith are beginning their move toward ultimate power. REVENGE OF THE SITH is the sequel to A NEW CHALLENGE by Ellen Randolph. Artwork by Karen River and Letitia Wells.
The plot is of course completely different; actually it sounds like some post-ROTJ EU novel. But Randolph wins the psychik powerz award for coming up with the title of Episode III 18 years before it was ever announced to the public.
This was posted in The Force Cast’s Facebook photo album:
Do you have a Post Tot? Or are you just a fanboy/girl with a lot of money?
Well, PoshTots.com can make your PT-era flights of fancy come true with this awesome custom bed and generic space mural! Since you have to “call for availability,” I assume it’s pretty expensive.
I also assume that because the repro isn’t precise, there’s no direct mention of Star Wars, and the mural is a generic space scene, this isn’t licensed.
I’m no whiz with Photoshop, but ever since I found out about Picnik, I’ve been able to make my own icons. Here are a few Clone Wars ones I’ve made recently…feel free to use yourself:
The third and likely final Robot Chicken Star Wars show airs tonight on Cartoon Network at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT. It looks like there will be references to all of the movies in this one and based on prior ones, Robot Chicken tends to laugh with Star Wars instead of at it.
It’s a bit raunchy for the kids though!
