Fine art photography from Cedric Delsaux that’s heavy on the Star Wars. The site is in French, but it’s mostly pictures.
Fanboy dream matchup
Superman or Jedi? Could Mace Windu smack a superbitch? How about the Death Star? Other superheros? Kaiser Soze? Does it even matter? (Thanks Kelly!)

Video Monday
All the featured videos this week are… songvids! And not a one of them is Evanescence.
Weird Al’s ‘Jerry Springer’ proves to be a pretty good match for the saga. Who knew?
Palpatine does it his way. I really want to see this done with the punk version, too.
‘La Vie Boheme’ from Rent done up Harry Potter style. A bit slow to start, but it made me laugh out loud a couple times. (Thanks to Ruby for the find!)

Gollum Kong

This is Peter Jackson’s fault
Dragonlance, an animated movie? Why god, why?
The island of misfit teen shows
The WB to will goodbye in September by making us remember when it was good: The network will be airing the pilots of some of it’s best shows, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which it lost to then-rival UPN,) Angel (which it killed and replaced with Jeff Foxworthy,) Dawson’s Creek (which it let live far too long, much like a teacher-snogging X-Files) and Felicity, a show that was so much a part of my college experience that I can’t badmouth even if it probably deserves it.
Revel in the late-90ness of it all with Entertainment Weekly’s top WB moments.
None shall pass!
The UnWookieepedia is good clean mocking fun. Especially the stuff about Obi-Wan, because we don’t know anyone like that at all. (Thanks McEwok!)
Who’s in Bloodlines?
Sue Rostoni has posted the Dramatis Personae for Karen Traviss’ Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines, along with a few quotes from Han and Leia.
