Star Wars Movies in common. I just wanted to pass on a neat article I
read about a new Star Wars game from LucasArts. A journalist previews
it in an unusual way.”…

Star Wars, A New Hope
Star Wars, A New Hope
04/01/2005 05:20 PMI didn't realize how much the recent two Star Wars movies had
sullied my once-fond memories of the first three films until I sat
down to watch the original Star Wars. The acting is marginal at best
and the story is a little clunky in places, but that's really beside
the point, isn't it? The special effects have been digitally retouched
and remastered on the DVD, but even without all that, I can see why SW was
such a huge deal when it appeared in theatres in the late 70s. Space
opera indeed. And the last scene with the X-Wing fighters and the
Death Star -- don't worry, I won't give the ending away if you haven't
seen it -- I've seen that scene about 30 times and it never fails to
entertain; I know every line by heart almost and I was still on the
edge of my seat.

Star Wars Toys: Then and Now
Star Wars Toys: Then and Now
06/17/2005 03:44 PMBattle of the 'Star Wars' trinkets: A great little
article comparing Star Wars toys then and now. I remember the Yoda hand puppet from 25 years ago:
The Yoda hand puppet could look up in awe, or down in sadness, or
stare straight ahead blankly. Side to side? Not so much. And the lips
didn't move either (so much for ventriloquism.)
Today, the "Call Upon Yoda" is much more talkative:
He's got 500 phrases, but be careful: this Yoda will ruin the new
movie for you if you haven't seen it already. He tells the tale of
each Star Wars movie from beginning to end and doesn't give warnings
for spoilers.

Star Wars weekend
Star Wars weekend
06/22/2005 02:21 AM I convinced Andi that Alex(8) and
Linus(7) are old enough for the Star Wars films. So, this past weekend
we watched episides I, II and III. We started with Episode 1.1: The Phantom Edit, a fan-edited version of
the film that includes much less Jar Jar than before. They boys
thought they could have cut more; I kid you not. I thought the Phantom
Edit was a little too fuzzy to enjoy. I guess that's because it was
created from a VHS copy of the film.
I think the boys enjoyed Episode II: Attack of the Clones more than
Episode I, but there was a little too much kissing. It's funny to see
the kids cringe when Anakin and Padme get all mushy.
It was Andi's birthday on Sunday, so she took Alex and Linus to
Episode III and I stayed home with the little Leo. They enjoyed it the
most of the three, but Linus was a little disturbed when he saw what
happened to Anakin. I don't think he was really traumatized, at least
not as bad as he was on Th
e Mummy (whatever you do, do NOT mention The Mummy to Linus).
I wonder what they're going to think of the original films. Will
they see IV and V as the awesome classics that I know them to be, or
dated and dull after the orgy of special effects they've just gone
through in the prequels.

Salt Lake City at the Crossroads Mall. They were handing out the
3-different stickers that have been
shown as well
as a
First Time on DVD pin/badge and a lithograph. Take a look
at the the pin and the front and back of the litho. The pin reminds
Dave of the gold special edition one made a few years back.
New Star Wars trailer
New Star Wars trailer
03/14/2005 04:23 PMOnce every three years, the first trailer for yet another crappy
George Lucas Star Wars movie is released somewhere to great fanfare.
And each time, I watch said trailer and get all excited. It looks
great, I'll say. Maybe it'll actually be good. My hopes start to rise.
And then the movie comes out, Natalie Portman is transformed by Lucas'
awful direction into the worst actress ever, and I leave the theatre
disappointed that a cherished childhood institution has been handled
in such a piss-poor manner. With the impending release of Episode III
and the trailer during last night's episode of The OC, I have vowed
not to get my hopes up. Never again, George Lucas, will you disappoint
me.
However.
OMFG THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW STAR WARS MOVIE IS SOOO GREAT AND
EXCITING AND THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KICK SO MUCH ASS!!!
A torrent of the trailer is available here (smaller version here) and in QuickTime.
First the Kelly
Clarkson thing and now this...I don't know what's going on here. I
promise there's an interesting scientific explanation for all this.
I'll write about it soon, honest. Malcolm, Steven, James, can you help
me out here? Something about the Blinking Long Tail of a Mind Wide
