Some Sith records still safe

Paul Ens reports that at least one of Revenge of the Sith’s box office records has survived Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It still has the best five-day opening, and looks be be safe in a few other categories.

A Jedi craves not these things

Speaking of rumors… Kevin Smith addresses last year’s gossip of his involvement with the Star Wars TV show.

Was there ever any truth to the your involvement with a Star Wars TV show?

“No, no,” Smith says with a chuckle. “Which was so strange, because I was like, ‘Really? I wish somebody had told me.’ People kept saying, ‘Dude, you gonna be doing that?'”

Keep your mullet to yourself

The Art Department is a new blog by Irene Gallo, art director at sci-fi publisher Tor. Her first post is fantastic, much needed advice for cover artist wannabes. I only wish the photos were bigger, or at least links.

They’re all gonna laugh at you!

CNBC reported yesterday that Pirates of the Caribbean beat Aquaman’s box office record.

Pirates did smash records, but James Cameron’s Aquaman – and its killer box office – only exist as a plot point on HBO’s Entourage. The cable network did take out an ad in Variety last month touting the fictional milestone, which no doubt prompted the mistake.

ETA: Or not. The anchor was joking.

Star Wars on Trial

SF Signal points to a blog entry by Lou Anders about his essay for the book Star Wars on Trial. The book includes contributions from Matt Stover, Karen Traviss, Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Keith R. A. DeCandido for the defense, and the site even has a forum that I expect to show up on Fandom Wank the minute our nuttier fandomates discover it.
