Bantam/Dark Horse invasion storyline. Sue Rostoni denied it at starwars.com a week or so ago (see the article’s talk page) as did Shelley Shapiro back in 2003 and Randy Stradley in a recent interview with TFN but as we all know, fandom loves a conspiracy theory.
I feel a great disturbance in the copyright…
Urban Medium is now offering a bust of their CheTrooper graphic.
That’s telekiniesis, Kyle!
Well, the ‘professional’ Coldplay vid got the attention of cool kid blog Sterogum, so I suppose it’s not too surprising that Gawker sib Idolator did a fanvid post. Star Wars is the only genre fandom featured – an uninspired but mildly amusing ‘Yoda’ vid.
I haven’t linked to many fanvids – honestly, it’s kind of a dry well unless you’re really into Evanescence. However, I did find a vid of Tenacious D’s ‘Wonderboy’ today that made me giggle.
To all the vids I’ve linked before…
- Fette’s Vette
- YMCA. Slashtacular!
- Vader Boy
- Yoda and Obi Wan Love Porn
What’s up, Doc?
Boba Fett is not really a character I find particularly interesting, but this custom ‘Buggs Fett’ figure by Jeffrey Van Hove wins the internet. (Also see him without the helmet)
Video Monday
The Star Wars episode of That 70’s Show. Or skip straight to the spoof, if you have the urge to hear the term “Jedi dumbass.”
The unemployed Stormtrooper. Awww.
The PhanDom Menace, excerpt from a documentary about an Australian Star Wars fan club. Accents! Costumes! And Timothy Zahn’s in there, for some reason.
The Darklord of Stall One. Will people in Stormtrooper uniforms doing random stuff ever not be funny? Don’t tell me, I don’t want to know.
That is a freaking Stormtrooper!
From the Blogside
Brooklooineghost wrote an excellent essay on compassion; Drew Karpyshyn addresses continuty errors in Path of Destruction.; Rogueish on politics in the GFFA; Vader of Bast throws down a rant about the Legacy comics; Lord Noctifer rambles on Skywalker courage; Jan Lomona wonders why only Palpatine noticed Luke’s compassion.
I guess they really do fight Trekkies…
Fanboys, the trailer. Is that Andrew’s van?
Filk Friday
This week’s featured filk has been coined by some critics (namely, the author) as the “greatest filk ever.” While I am not prone to such hyperbole, this is admittedly one of the most entertaining filks I’ve ever seen performed. Written by PG, the filk Lady Mara Jade combines two Star Ladies favorites: Moulin Rouge and Luke/Mara. Enjoy!
Friday Fan Art
Kettched in the Act by DarthFar. I doubt the piece as a whole is really a spoiler to anyone here, but you’ll have click through twice to see the whole thing.
You! Out of my fandom!
I’m just going to agree with Bonnie: Worst Star Wars Themed Political Ad Ever.
