And here I thought there’d be nothing to post today… A brief excerpt of Death Troopers when we have nearly a month until the release date? I’ll take it.
On a related note, Super Punch is having a Horror of Star Wars art contest.
Video: Raiders of the Lost Ark ’51
From the same talent who brought us Ghostbusters ’54…
Brace yourselves for the full firepower of Universal’s Harry Potter theme park
Details of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter are out, and guys? J.K. Rowling is going to be so much richer. Sorry Disney, but I think it’ll take more sprucing than The Little Mermaid and Star Tours 2 to compete with this.
You can get a closer look at some of the concept art here.
EUbits: Complete Vader, draw Clone Wars, Atlas, the complete Purge letters, Bohnhoff, databank, mocking
Nonfiction corner. StarWars.com talks to Ryder Windham and Pete Vilmur about The Complete Vader. On a related note, take a peek at Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Death Troopers. Did you catch all the Purge letters? No? Well, here are the direct links: DeathTroopers.com, StarWars.com, Star Wars Action News, NJOE, RebelScum, TheForce.net, and ours.
Podcasts. Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace are on the latest Fictional Frontiers with Sohaib. (Warning: auto-pla.)
Blogsided. Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff on the pool of knowledge and Star Wars as part of the vernacular.
Ye Olde Databank. New or expanded entries for Jocasta Nu, Cad Bane, and Cato Parasitti. And hey – Ben Skywalker is in there now. That’s new! Newish. Wait, don’t tell me: They added him with the Backlash cover, didn’t they?
Sweet mockery. Checked in with We Hav to Take a Trip with Jacen Solo lately? Havac is currently working his way through Legacy of the Force.
Star Wars: In Concert adds east coast dates
StarWars.com has some fall dates for Star Wars: In Concert, mostly in the south and creeping up: Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut and New Hampshire. Not quite as spread out as the west coast dates, but I suspect we’ll see more of New England in the next round. Tickets will go on sale Friday, September 25.
Bonnie the Hutt storms San Francisco, or at least part of it
Who dares take the Jabba the Hutt costume out on a test run? Bonnie does. For science! Or something.
First blurb for Clone Wars Gambit – Siege sighted
NJOE found the first blurb for Karen Miller’s Clone Wars Gambit – Siege at Amazon.co.uk. (Where else?) It contains some (possible) spoilers for the yet-unreleased first part, Stealth, so it’s black-barred below the cut. Continue reading “First blurb for Clone Wars Gambit – Siege sighted”
What’s so special about this magic wand?
It can turn on your TV. No, really. The perfect gift for the squib in your life, I’m sure Santa Maul would say.
Video: Star Wars guitar rock
Okay, it’s not so much a video as an excuse to listen to the track by Big Daddy. Just go with it. (Thanks to The Stooge.)
The fandom minute: Spacebook, sports, puns, photos, blogs, corrdors, and the wisdom of Han Solo
Today on Spacebook.. This t-shirt design by Hogboy has been making the rounds. I would dare take a guess that this genius is the inspiration.
- Wide world of puns. The University of Michigan has a quarterback named Tate Forcier. You don’t even have to imagine: They’ve already been made.
- Action figures in action. Bonnie interviews Stéfan Le Dû about his Stormtroopers 365 project.
- Internet inevitability. Animals with lightsabers, the blog. (via)
- Freeform advice. What would Han Solo do?
- Randomly… Den of Geek praises the sci-fi corridor.
