Glass Balls of the Goblin King
Somebody’s 11 least intimidating movie villians. Beware, defensive prequel fans – Hayden Christensen’s Vader is #3! Of course, I’m not sure how seriously I can take this list, because The Nothing from The Neverending Story (#2) scared the hell out of me as a kid.
Retrograding Vader
Now this is neat – Yoshitoku’s Samurai Vader, a quarter-scale costume that puts the Samurai influence back into Vader. They’ll only be available only in Japan, but seeing the prices, that’s probably a good thing.
George is funny. Who knew?
So our “bigger shocker” from yesterday turned out to be a quote from a tongue-in-cheek roast of the publicist being honored.
After being serious in public for so many years, George will just have to forgive us for having to get used to him being funny.
Big thanks to Marvolo7 for tracking down the real scoop!
Ooo! The Pretty!
Been by StarWars.com, lately?

Feeling your geeky heart pitter-patter yet?

We join the world of Star Wars with two interesting tidbits found in the same article on CinemaBlend.
Big Shocker – Hasbro revealed that there will indeed be a DVD release for the 30th anniversary
Are you doing okay? (You should be. Honestly. This isn’t much of a shock.)
Bigger Shocker – George thinks Empire is the worst of all the films; crediting a recently-honored publicist for convincing us so well.
Okay. The mind boggles on this one in so many ways….
ETA: This second quote turned out to be from a roast. Context, people. Context.
I post LULZ not fan art
If you do not laugh at least once at the mothership of cat macros, you have no soul. I’m sorry, it’s true. (via fandom lounge)

Get ready for toy time
Hasbro’s profits are up, in no small part due to their Star Wars line, which are up 4.1%. And just in time for Toy Fair, which starts tomorrow.
For my ally is the Force…
