No more blockbusters for Lucasfilm. After Indy IV, naturally… Also, a few droplets on the Clone Wars TV show. Which is to say, more stuff us crazy obsessive folks already know.
Oh yeah, the Sith book
I was shocked to find Path of Destruction at my local library (Yes, I did check it out; no telling if I’ll actually read it,) but I’m even more shocked to see that SF Signal already has a review up. You win this round, fanboy Tim: You are the Supreme BlogGeek.
Nutjobs on parade
Harry Potter root cause of school shooting, Atlanta mother says. Because there was no violence in the world before Harry Potter? Methinks someone needs to read their Bible more closely…
That’s the blogosphere for you
A student taking a course in cyberspace law learns how Lucasfilm bought out one domain…
The Wookiee costume is a bit much – is a lame domain like PhantomMenaceNews.com worth a Wookiee costume? I don’t think so.
Also, the domain in question seems to be not owned by Lucasfilm at the moment. (Going to the actual site will get you ads and popups. Nothing NSFW, just annoying.) And this list of websites from Echo Station (not updated since August 1999, as good a time capsule as I could find) lists that the site had no DNS (translation: not pointing anywhere) at the time. The Wayback Machine is more of the same.
The law firm does exist. But the story as a whole I’m giving a hearty ‘maybe.’
Watch a video, why not?
Jeremy Bulloch is reaching out to the Star Wars community to help out Starhyke, a sci-fi comedy series he’s starring in. Check out the series’ two-minute trailer on Youtube or Google. Babylon 5 fans might note that Claudia Christian is also in it.
‘Bots just want to have fun
Leave it to the Japanese to come up with a wine-tasting robot. And of course, it’s adorable. Potential JadeCon guest?
Speaking of automated fun, I caught Beck’s video for ‘Hell Yes’ the other day, which features adorable dancing robots. It’s not exactly new, but can you stand the awesomeness?
Coming to a runway near you…
Lucy Skywalker android pants! The actual collection, sadly, is much less thrilling than that turn of phrase would have one expect.
Hehe. Pants.
Circles and circles and circles again
Impressive recreations of M.C. Escher’s Relativity and other works in – what else? – LEGO. Also worth checking out is the list of pop culture references in Escher’s Wikipedia entry.
No snarky comment today
But this is probably not the story you want to read on Seattle fan John Guth, who died earlier this year. (Warning: Explicit content in the first link.)
Die Star Wars DVD box!
Did LEGO just confirm a 30th anniversary DVD set? In Dutch? Er, German. Duh.
