Not that long ago in our own galaxy, a guy named Joey Lemberg recreated TPM with action figures and home-made sets. Originally shot on VHS, it’s been uploaded on YouTube for all to enjoy. H/T Matthew Krizanits:

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!

Apparently, AOTC was still in 2D but tomorrow is the Future of Star Wars In 3D panel…
