Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
No Exile cover, but that’s understandable give the huge slideshow of the differences between the 1977 and 2004 versions of Episode IV that went up tonight.
Also…
– A look at the new LEGO game.
– Natalie Portman auctioning signed collectibles for charity.
– More of those giant wall coverings for Euro fans.
– Drawing Lego Han and Stormtrooper.
The official site looks back at the Star Wars theatrical experience.
Also, the road trip makes its way to Miami.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is gaining in on Spider-Man for the sixth spot on the all-time domestic box office list. The Phantom Menace, which holds #5 by more than 27 million dollars, is probably safe, as is Star Wars at #2. The worldwide list is looking a lot less stable for TPM, however.
The Greedo Assassination Conspiracy Page. I want to believe!
A look at the DVD menus on the ANH bonus disks from the official site, while TFN reports on Walmart extras.

Star Wars: A New Hope is #39 on the American Film Insitute’s list of America’s Most Inspiring Movies.
