An enterprising soul found a full version of George Lucas’ 1966 student film, Freiheit, and put it online.

There’s at least one Jader in this video… And I hope someone, somewhere, is doing a Death Troopers version. (via)

Video flashback: The Vector Prime TV commercial
Quality of Vector Prime aside, this was a sad day for Expanded Universe fans… I remember being surprised by it on the Sci-Fi Channel and being terribly embarrassment squicked. (My wariness of book trailers probably dates from that moment. Though things do seem to have improved.)
In any case, better now than later to introduce the Expanded Universe playlist at Youtube ClubJaders. Most of it is much less squicky than this, I promise.

New The Clone Wars images, video, Cad Bane interview, Republic Heroes demo, and more!
A baker’s dozen of new Star Wars: The Clone Wars images have popped up on IGN, including a few new characters coming in Season 2. They also have two new videos, including this one where Cad Bane gets hired to do a little smash-and-grab on the Jedi Temple and Anakin and the clones head up against Cad Bane’s battle droids in a zero-g firefight.
Wired managed to get an interview with the notorious bounty hunter, Cad Bane. Bane goes on the record to say the Clone Wars are good for business with “the war tends to shake out the power players, and bigger clients means bigger fees” and quashes rumors that he’s concerned about young Boba Fett taking over the Fett bounty hunter name and fame. Does he want a shot at the Jedi, like Anakin Skywalker? Read it and find out!
On the video game front, the demo version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes has been released on XBox Live for download. The game takes place between seasons 1 and 2, and will be released on September 15 for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, and PSP.
Remember, Season 2 of The Clone Wars premieres on Cartoon Network on Friday, October 2. Meanwhile, SW.com is streaming four fan favorite episodes over the Labor Day weekend.
Video flashback: Revenge of the Sith l33t trailer
I was asked to create a CJ Youtube account at JadeCon, and I finally got around to it. No uploads yet, but lots of favorites from old posts and such. In the process, I came across this oldie but goodie, the ROTS trailer captioned in hacker-speak.
More video flashbacks are coming… You’ve been warned.
Videos: Movie music magic by Pogo
Pogo creates music using samples from movies. You may have seen ‘Bangarang,’ his track using Hook, around the web yesterday:
Here’s ‘Alohomora,’ using samples from Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone:
I’m not quite sure what (if anything) this one is sampling, but the video does feature a guy dancing around in a Darth Vader mask:
‘Expialidocious,’ utilizing Mary Poppins:
And ‘Mary’s Magic,’ using 1993’s The Secret Garden:
