Hayden causes mad crush and other Star Wars news

Apparently, Hayden Christensen has the power to inspire mad crushes on the part of Japanese reporters. Note this rather love-struck article written during his promotion of Shattered Glass.

In other Star Wars news, Yoda talks to Costco. Interesting place to do your first media interview.

You can also have the rather interesting honor of owning a staple autographed by Samuel L. Jackson or Jimmy Smits.

And finally, an interview with Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker done before a Boston convention in which Tony actually seems pleased with Episode 3. (No spoilers, though.)

Those aren’t droids. They’re Robots!

Per ComingSoon.net, Ewan McGregor’s animated adventure Robots will be released on IMAX screens the same day as it’s released in conventional theaters.

Apparently, Ewan joined his ROTS co-star Natalie Portman and his good friend Jude Law to see her new movie Closer and gave it two thumbs up.

And so as to avoid demonstrating our obvious bias towards Mr. McGregor, we also include this coverage of Natalie Portman:

Media Magic Before Magical Tuesday

There’s a little film coming out on DVD on the 23rd. You may have heard of it: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Coverage abounds. Head over to The Leaky Cauldron and MuggleNet for the most complete coverage of the launch party. (May I have a chocolate fountain for Christmas?)

And there are rumors of a June 11 or 18 2005 release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. (You’ll have to scroll down the page to see the story.) Should be nice weather for a lineup in June.

Infecting the Next Generation

Wanted:
– Star Wars toys
– Polaroid Spectra instant film

The Pennsylvania Star Wars Collectors Society is sponsoring a drive to collect supplies for the Garrison Carida of the 501st Legion to use in their visits to children’s hospitals.

Getting into Star Wars is an infection that they’d probably welcome in children’s hospitals.

If you’re interested in helping out, mail your donations to:
Garrison Carida Toy Drive
c/o Andy Loney/Toy Cave
147 N. Hanover St.
Carlisle, PA 17013

Don’t feel like putting together a package? Ask your local 501st garrison if they could use similar assistance.

Mark Hamill, Up Close and on the Internet

I feel almost bad bumping down the ROTS teaser trailer, because that is the bigger story, today.

But in other Star Wars-related news, Mark Hamill (that’s Luke Skywalker, to all you non-SW fans out there) will be on a webcast from the premiere of his film “Comic Book: The Movie” at the California Independent Film Festival, today.

It’ll be something to do while you wait for space to open up on the StarWars.com servers.
