Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
An entire Boba Fett costume made out of Lego. Oh Fettheads, never change.
There’s a lot of action-figure stop motion out there, but this Flashdance mashup from Patrick Boivin is seriously top notch. (via)
Flashback: 14-year old Dave Lowe’s Revenge of the Jedi fan comic from 1980. There’s Luke/Leia kissing and sleeveless Vader! (via) In a more professional capacity, he also did some work for a Sci-Fi Channel Star Wars marathon back in 1993.
The Mando bug has never bitten me, but for those of you into the whole Boba Fett thing (or just want a brief behind-the-scenes look at the 90’s EU) check out this blog entry by Daniel Keys Moran reminiscing about Star Wars, as well as a two-part interview over at bobafett.com. Moran wrote a handful of SW shorts, most notably The Last One Standing, aka the Fett piece from Tales of the Bounty Hunters. (Warning: Some language, bitterness.)
And for the hardcore Fett fans who’ve already seen this all – Moran showed up yesterday in the TFN thread I nabbed the links from. (Thanks, Trip!)
Behold: Santacon!
Boba Fett is not really a character I find particularly interesting, but this custom ‘Buggs Fett’ figure by Jeffrey Van Hove wins the internet. (Also see him without the helmet)
So, I finished Bloodlines, opened Photoshop and this is what resulted:
In August, Del Rey will publish A Practical Man, an e-novella by Karen Traviss filling in the details leading up to Boba Fett’s brief cameo in The Unifying Force.
Although there’s no price noted in the official release, it appears that Barnes & Noble has it retailing for $3.50.
The starwars.com item also gives fans a look at the Fettastic finished cover for Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines, which is due out in September.
At a recent ROTS press junket, Rick McCallum leaked a bit of information about the live-action TV project. Comments from him and Ian McDiarmid lend a lot of credence to the theory that fanboy-favorite Boba Fett will somehow be involved. Coming Soon has the best round-up I’ve seen.
