January 11, 2013I Am Shark is releasing the original TPM soundtrack on vinyl. The LP (long-playing record…those are those flat, black round things that used to play music for you kids out there) features the soundtrack originally released in 1999. Choose from different colors for $21.99 each or $100 for all of them. The LP is on pre-order and is set to ship in early March.

I Heart Darth Maul
December 23, 2012Teresa at Jedi News posted why Darth Maul is one of her favorite Star Wars characters.
TPM Alum In “The Hobbit”
December 23, 2012I haven’t seen “The Hobbit” yet but apparently one of the dwarves from the flick once played a fighter pilot lurking in the background in TPM. The problem is actor Richard Armitage has a hard time picking himself out in the movie.
Hollywood.com has more.
Update: My friend Derek sent a link to this blog post on Armitage’s many past appearances, including TPM and some anecdotes from the set (hint: he too used to confuse Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman).
Star Wars: A Galactic Pop-Up Adventure
October 18, 2012My copy of “Star Wars: A Galactic Pop-Up Adventure” arrived today; I’d pre-ordered it from Amazon. If you enjoyed the last Star Wars pop-up book by Matthew Reinhart, you’ll love this one too, especially since it focuses on the prequels!
I haven’t yet looked at it in great detail but various characters, ships, locations, and creatures appear in one form or another. The reek and acklay, pod racers, the Jedi starfighters from ROTS, General Grievous, etc. make up most of the big pop-up pieces but the show stopper is the Vaderkin with a lightsaber that ignites blue then turns red. If you open the corner with Obi-Wan and Anakin, it looks like they are dueling each other pop-up style!
Definitely a must-buy!
Cute Cartoon
October 9, 2012This cute little cartoon commemorated the release of TPM 3D. Wish I found it months ago but it’s still adorable. The artist plans on doing one for each 3D re-release!
TPM Shown At Celebration In 3D
August 24, 2012Surprisingly, last night’s showing at Celebration of TPM was in 3D! Fans were given exclusive 3D glasses to watch the flick.
Apparently, AOTC was still in 2D but tomorrow is the Future of Star Wars In 3D panel…
