Random… George Lucas at Fashion Week? Yes, indeed: Lucas was spotted at the Rodarte show on Tuesday with girlfriend Mellody Hobson. According to one report, Lucas is “obsessed” with the work of the women behind the label, sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy. (Maybe George is thinking about costumes for one of his art films?)

Also at the show was Natalie Portman, who was wearing Rodarte when she got her Oscar for Black Swan last year – they designed the movie’s costumes.

Sith strategists? Forbes’ Alex Knapp looks at five leadership mistakes of the Galactic Empire.

It’s an industry. In his latest Film Critic column, John Scalzi looks at why Star Wars just won’t go away.

Haters gonna hate. Has-been mouth-frother Glenn Beck went on a rant about Star Wars this week. In addition to hating on The Phantom Menace (so last week) he also hated on… Red Tails? Really? For what it’s worth, Rick McCallum is thrilled.

Listen. Geeky band The Board of Education has a cute song about Star Wars called ‘Why Is Dad So Mad?’

It’s hump day! Enrich your noodle.

This is amazing and hilarious and you need to watch it. At least if you grew up in the great timespan of cheesiness that spans the mid-80′s and the early 90′s. (via… They know who they are.)

Take a dance-tinged trip to the dark side with the Eclectic Method.

‘Magneto’ takes on Lady Gaga.

Pretty sharp dancing for a dude who’s half machine.

There’s something oddly Incredible Hulk about it…

Beneath the cut, another one from Richard Grayson: The main theme as a Baroque Gavotte. (more…)

I’m surprised that there were club and dance and versions of the original Jabba’s Palace song from Return of the Jedi (isn’t ’83 a bit late for disco?) Not shocking at all is that someone on Youtube has edited the Special Edition version of the scene to the original music.
