Fan site Lightsabre interviews internet rockstar Pablo Hidalgo.
Sure to be a hit with the ladies
Thursday Diversions
I’ve been too busy for random surfing, but SF Signal to the rescue – they found three (well, four – but we already linked the subwoofer) great Star Wars diversions yesterday: Everything Star Wars, the top 15 Han Solo quotes you need to use in regular conversation, and learn to speak Ewok. Though why anyone would feel the need to talk to Ewoks is mystery to me.
CIV: Belly dancing, Ben Burtt, WOTC, droids
Slave Leias are always a hit, so it’s not surprising that LFL persuaded Amira Sa’id, the belly dancing slave Leia, to perform and teach at Celebration.
14 days to go!
- Ben Burtt to talk sound.
- WOTC seminars on Miniatures and the new RPG.
- 501st Droid Hunt mini-site launches
Pop-up Star Wars
Coming in October, Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy by Matthew Reinhart. Reinhart will be on hand at Celebration with a “Art of the Popup” presentation and some time in the Family room.
For the fan historians in the crowd
John Jackson Miller reports that the latest issue of comic ‘zine Alter Ego has an article from writer Roy Thomas on the origins of Marvel’s Star Wars comics.
Is George making films for TV?
Probably not – even TFN is calling shenanigans on this one.
Hagrid and Wicket rollin’ with the cheese
Warwick Davis and Robbie Coltrane attend ‘cheese’-rolling activities in Stilton. While there, Davis revealed he’ll have a part in Prince Caspian.
Where’d we put him again?
Let’s file this one under the “you’ve got to be kidding” topic.
They’ve lost Scotty!
The capsule carrying James Doohan’s ashes (along with those of 200 other people) disappeared into an area with steep canyons and mountains after it completed its flight. They can’t pick up the homing beacon, as a result.
Thousands of years from now, some archaeologist is going to be very confused by that thing….
