A selection of weird Hasbro commercials from the U.K.: Artoo mistaken for salt shaker. Figures play soccer. And again. And some more.
Classic clip: George Lucas in Love.
Video Saturday
You must watch Ten Things I Hate About Commandments. Not Star Wars, but you know you can’t resist.
R2’s being a bad bad boy in this anti-smoking PSA.
Cooking with the Emperor. Who knew the Sith were so versatile?
Alderaan shoots first. Kind of dumb, but it made me smile.
Classic Clip: Troops
Sentient meat!
A short-film adaption of Terry Bisson’s short story “They’re Made Out of Meat” won grand prize at the Science Fiction Museum’s First Annual Short Film Festival. Watch the film, or read the original story. (via Boing Boing)
Who’s bringing the chips?
Star Lords: Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, together at last. With disco!
She’s baaack…
Lightsabers and shit
And now for something completely different: Jedi Breakfast.
It gets into everything!
I know a few CJers who’ll get a big kick out of this: Ice dancers Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat have a Star Wars-themed exhibition program. They have the music, lightsabers, costumes, everything you’d expect in the one of the last places you’d expect to see it.
Video Saturday: Han Solo on trial
The trial of Han Solo. Amusing and quite well done, though a tad preachy towards the end. Kinda suffers when compared with ‘The Emperor’s Court’ in Tales #14, but what commentary on Greedo shooting first doesn’t?
Watch Fan Films; George has
Atom films is pimping the ten most downloaded Fan Film Award winners. Looks like the submission deadline for the 2006 contest is approaching fast…
Frodo and Sam: Secret Lovers?
So wrong it’s right: TBS is running the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and they’ve whipped up some utterly hilarious ads. (Thanks Yav!)
