Looks like there’s an interesting podcast brewing on metal bikini costuming and feminism. Opinions are wanted!
Celebration Europe wraps
- TOSblog: The Force Unleashed. man, if I cared about games and their canonicity I would probably not react very well to this. Luckily, I don’t care.
- TOSblog: Battle of the Bands
- TOSblog: Costume Pageant.
- Brisbane Times: Jeremy Bulloch revels in cult status
- Swindon Advertiser: Luke Skywalker meets Mark Hamill.
Wait, seriously?
Remember all those rumors about an X-Files movie maybe, possibly being made sometime soon? Turns out that it’s kinda true. Apparently, a script has been written and both Anderson and Duchovny are on board. Filming would begin this November, so it would be out for summer of next year.
More CE video!
- Mark Hamill introduces Ian McDiamid, or rather some clips of McDiarmid; the the Emperor himself introduces A New Hope.
- Fans reenact the Mustafar duel.
- Keep an eye on Youtube for more!
Video du Jour: Scream like a girl!
Billy Dee Williams on Scrubs. (Thanks, Jello!)
Rick on the TV show!
TOSblog has video (warning: it’s only audio for me) of Warwick Davis interviewing Rick McCallum at Celebration Europe. Lots of TV talk, which is summarized at the link as well.

Went to C4? Check your inbox!
GenCon has sent out a survey to C4 attendees, and it includes a question about attending C5. I don’t have many doubts that there’ll be a C5, but I gotta agree with TFN: Highly likely! Highly!
Celebration Europe begins!
Pictures from London are appearing on the TOSblog Flickr account. Outdoor screenings and Opening Ceremony? So jealous! (Burning question: Was there cake?) We’re expecting reports on the TOSblog proper, too.
Rebelscum is also reporting from the con, while TFN found an interview Mark Hamill did with BBC Radio 2.
