Brit mag SFX ran a poll on who are the sexiest characters in sci-fi, including a lot of supernatural. fantasy, and non-sf genre characters voted upon by ballot-stuffing fans.
Weirdly enough, SFX ponders the pairings of male and female characters who ranked the same number on the list. Clocking in at #60 are Padmé and Obi-Wan.
I smell an Obidala conspiracy. Besides, Anakin’s hot. He should be #1 with a bullet.
“Wrath of the Titans” opens tomorrow and I saw this pic on Facebook. I just had to share:
The “Breathing” teaser trailer, the internet exclusive trailer, and the first full trailer all debuted around the holiday season of 2001.
The final trailer for AOTC debuted first on t.v. March 2002, during primetime on Fox. (I remember watching it.) Here, we got our first glimpses of the Geonosis battle.
Surprising absolutely no one, Cartoon Network will bring Clone Wars back for a fifth season. CN made the announcement today on Twitter.
Thanks to TPM’s performance in Japan, it is now #9 on the global box office list, passing “Alice In Wonderland.”
Hat tip Mike!
Mark your calendars!
Take the day off from work!
Skip school!
Cancel your appointments and vacations!
May 16, 2012 will be Star Wars Prequel Appreciation Day. Why May 16? Because May 16 commemorates the 10th anniversary of AOTC’s release and this year’s appreciation day will celebrate all that is Episode II. Stay tuned for what’s in store for 5/16.
Joanna posted a link to this fan vid on the Facebook page. Check it out, it’s awesome!
While poking around the listener mailbag at the Forcecast, I saw some interesting comments.
On TPM:
I’m positive that the Big G.L. clearly identified the events that detail how Anakin was going to rise and fall as he wrote the script for Episode 1, because in this shot- we have Palpatine on one side of the screen, and Anakin on the other. And the only two who stand between Palpatine and Anakin is Obi-Wan, and Padme. I think this small detail illustrates how clever George Lucas has always been as a filmmaker, and how important Episode 1 is in telling a complete story of Anakin Skywalker.
There’s someone else at the bottom who was sticking up, sort of, for Anakin/Padmé (it will be a grand day when prequel defenders no longer have to qualify their comments with shopworn criticisms). But all of the letters are interesting to read.
IGN posted an extensive interview with Dave Filoni, looking back at Season 4 and discussing a bit about Season 5. Most of it is pretty interesting, though I am not at all mollified by his side of the whole Simon Pegg thing.
