Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Neat promo video from design team Urban Medium and DJ Spider featuring Chetrooper stickers and a scratch version of the Imperial March.
Want more? Here’s a video of a DJ scratching the Imperial March from two (apparently) unrelated records. Not quite as professional, but the best part is the crowd reaction.
Amazing dollhouse based on Bag End, the hobbit hole of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. (via Boing Boing)
TV shows are expanding – blogs, mobisodes, video games, books… Nothing new to Star Wars fans, but what about our brethern in other fandoms? Fanthropology asks. My answer? Flame wars. Lots and lots of flame wars.
Hopefully you made out well in the holiday money gifts, this year. Because there are some companies trying to part you from your money.
Sideshow Collectibles announced the addition of 12-inch figures from Lord of the Rings.
For those still in the Star Wars arena, TheForce.Net reports that Star Wars Galaxies will be adding new features. And LucasArts apparently has a lot up its sleeve, if the rumors are to be believed.
And there is still some stock left of the Lucas Family action figure set at StarWarsShop.com. Grab ’em while they last!
Star Wars in 30 seconds, re-enacted by bunnies. With outakes!
And we wonder why none of the bigger stars of the Prequels want to come to sci-fi conventions!
TheForce.Net points to this UPI article where some “fan” went up to Hayden Christensen to accuse him of ruining Star Wars.
Ohhhkay.
Paramount Digital Entertainment, which is responsible for the site, will be shut down at the end of the year, leaving the official Star Trek site in limbo. (via Fanthropology.)
A great find from Deet:
Many of you may be familiar with the idea of a wiki. It’s an open-source, community-driven and produced encyclopedia-like site that draws on the knowledge of the general public. The most prevalent example is the Wikipedia, a site which not only has become a go-to starting point for information seekers but has also evolved into a great source for news.
Well there is now a wiki-powered resource for all things Star Wars. The Wookieepedia (an excellent name) is your all-inclusive site for everything you might need to know. All aspects of the Star Wars universe are covered, from the movies, the novels and even the Marvel Comics series. One of the great things about wikis is their power to connect events, and in the case of Star Wars that’s a great thing to have at your hands. An event from a recent book might have been related to something that happened in a comic book years ago. The events might not connect to you, but someone here has it covered.
