Snarky things on the Wookieepedia: Everything that has ruined Star Wars forever

February 25th, 2011 by Dunc · 26 Comments

Buried deep within the bowels of the Wookieepedia: A list of the many things that have ruined Star Wars! To quoth:

Fans realize something LFL does not, that robust 32-year-old billion-dollar franchises, while seemingly healthy, are in actuality as fragile as two bricks tied together with tissue paper. One mistake, one bad mis-step will cause the entire thing to shatter and fall apart; and Star Wars would be ruined forever.

Selections include midi-chlorians, Callista, Boba Fettishism and many, many more.

Video: Nostalgia Chick on She-Ra

Speaking of low culture, here’s some righteous mocking of a gem from my own childhood. (You’ll also want to watch her take on Labyrinth.)

Video: Supernatural mocks fans, themselves

April 5th, 2009 by Dunc · 13 Comments

So it seems that on last week’s Supernatural episode ‘The Monster at the End of This Book,’ the main characters, Dean and that guy played Dean on Gilmore Girls Sam, discover fandom. And slash. Incest slash, of course, since the main focus of both the show and the psuedo-fandom within the show are the two brothers. Naturally, some in the fandom are less than amused

I gotta say, I tend to eat this kind of thing up with a spoon. (See Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, Avatar’s ‘The Ember Island Players,’ and I’m sure some of you know the names of the X-Files episodes I’m thinking of…) But what’s your take? Is it okay for the canon to take a mocking stance on not only itself but the fans?

Video: Five lame things in Star Wars canon

It’s funny because it’s true. Dear George, it’s all true, except I think that whole theory about Boba Fett improving anything got thrown out circa Attack of the Clones.

Anyone know where this kid can watch Revenge of the Sith online? Hmm. I bet these guys would know!

Unfortunate headline choice of the day: Can You Tell It’s Chubby Day Here? I’m not the only one thinking what I’m thinking, right?

300 macros so hot right now. (Some language/disturbing themes.) Actually, probably hotter a few weeks ago, but I’m behind. In any case, enjoy.

TFN thread of the indeterminate time period

September 23rd, 2006 by Dunc · 2 Comments

“Will Zahn Dare to Do It?” It being Luke/Leia twincest. I don’t know about you, but when I think of Star Wars authors willing to flirt with sibling-on-sibling action, Tim Zahn is the first person that comes to mind.
