As previously discussed and dissected for hints, this year’s Star Wars Spectacular panel at Comic-Con was going to be hosted by G4’s “Attack of the Show” crew: Kevin Pereira, Olivia Munn, and Blair Butler, and the panel will be broadcast live on G4 on Friday, July 24. The panel will include a live read of a new “The Clone Wars” script by the voice talent.
The announcement on starwars.com came with the opportunity for fans to submit videos to G4 to be shown during the presentation, either telling fan stories, or asking questions about The Clone Wars to the show’s creators, like Dave Filoni.
Word from someone working for G4 is that George Lucas may be answering some of the fans’ questions submitted by video - via pre-recorded video of his own.
So get those questions in, submitted through the G4 site. Key things to note for submitting videos: < 90 seconds long, < 150 MB, and use a white background!
And I am clearly out of it this year, because the only finalists I recognize are Death Star Over San Francisco and Star Wars: Retold. If any of these manage to be funnier than the latter, than they deserve a win, but I guess I’ll have to work my way through and see. (And write something up here, hopefully - it seems like a smaller crowd this year, no?) Watch and vote, kids!
Seth Green and Matt Senreich are launching the Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II DVD with a nine-city roller rink tour. They’ll be hitting San Diego (yes, during Comic-Con,) Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Richmond, Philadelphia, and New York. Time to google some hair-feathering tips!
What Fixer comic? Since I know you’re all dying to hear about that Fixer comic, the artist, Kevin Liell, has posted at TFN clarifying some things from NYCC. I’d still file this one under ‘long shot.’
The Blu-Ray Blog has some details on The Clone Wars season one box set. Looks pretty impressive - Original aspect ratios, Director’s Cut episodes, and a 40-page book. That trailer is an old one, though. (via)
Do not recycle dialogue from the motion pictures (unless, of course, you’re flashing back to an actual scene from one of the films). There is no need—ever—for another Star Wars character to say, “I have a bad feeling about this,” or “I find your lack of faith disturbing,” etc. Ditto for insertions of the “THX-1138” designation. After thirty years this sort of thing has been done to death.
Be sure to read through to the end, though, as there’s a hint down there that’s sure to make a lot of folks happy.
This 1977 Tiger Beat feature (preserved for the ages by Stuck in the 70’s) is disturbingly squeeful… My question is, how the hell does one get ‘horse’ from Chewbacca? (via)
This is likely a limited-time thing, so nab them quickly… Or you can go buy the book, since as I recall it’s pretty hefty - too much so to read the whole thing on a screen. Plus, that’s just the right thing to do… Now I gotta wonder where my copy is. (Probably went into a JadeCon teacup auction, come to think of it…)
So as I said last week, I pretty firmly believe that Sansweet and company are finally going to bust out the official Celebration V announcement next month at San Diego Comic Con, but I’m not sure that really justifies airing the thing on G4.
Not that C5 wouldn’t be big news for us, but for the general audience at SDCC and G4 it’s not really wait-in-line or tune-in now material. The second season of The Clone Wars and The Old Republic MMO are certain to make appearances, but the TOR trailer is old news and while it’ll be nice to see Disney’s TCW preview in wide and open release, neither of those are exactly earth-shaking.
No, the ante has been upped; I’m expecting - hoping- something big. Like some major news on the live-action series, perhaps? Hasn’t been much solid on that lately, but there have been those rumors flying around about casting and murmurs about possible shooting locations. (And now… John Williams? Not that IMDB is most reliable of sources at this point in the game.) It’s a long shot… But we can hope. For a name, at the very least.
What would you like to hear? Would C5 and The Clone Wars alone satisfy you?
“A wonderful soft play area that will really make you feel like you’re riding in a tie fighter!” Sure it will… If you live in the land of inadequate Photoshoppery. (via)
“Contrary to what you’ve just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners; only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: the American Revolution, World War II, and the Star Wars Trilogy. If you’d like to learn more about war, there’s lots of books in your local library, many of them with cool gory pictures.”
I doubt this Bart Simpson quote is what they had in mind, but Spike TV is celebrating the ultimate result of the first with an airing of the third next weekend. Which is to say, look for a Star Wars movie to air each night leading up to July 4 - beginning tonight at 6pm with The Phantom Menace.
And I am clearly out of it this year, because the only
