Star Wars with occasional sarcasm

With just a little over a week to go before the September 15th release, you’re going to start seeing commercials… If you haven’t already. The clip above features Vader; Perhaps you might also be interested in a floating Wookiee?
So the entertainment industry’s further ventures into online programming continues with a new show: Gemini Division.
Produced by NBC, expect a slight bit of first-person Blair Witch camera-jiggling, green screen and interesting montage kinda segments. Still, it seems to be an intriguing mix of cop drama and sci-fi. Worth checking out, if only to see Rosario Dawson in a non-film role and to enjoy a sci-fi tale.
Love singing along to Dr. Horrible but don’t need your iPod showing the video? Whedonesque reports that iTunes has the soundtrack to “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog”. There’s even free lyrics and liner notes! Download now, there’s no recourse! Go get’em..
Signed, Bad Horse.
The Associated Press – and everyone else – have discovered Battlestar Galactica’s favorite curse word.
Cartoon Network now has it online! Huzzah!
In a video interview with CBR, Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson says that he and Randy Stradley “have started talking about revisiting the last chapter of Crimson Empire.” Comic fans have been waiting nearly a decade for that one. He also mentions retooling the second mini/graphic novel, Council of Blood, for “fixing all the stuff that got left out” due to possible prequel conflicts. There’s already a thread on the Dark Horse boards – perhaps Stradley will shed a bit more light on this soon? (Keep an eye on the Star Wars zone!)
Could that be the big project for 2009 that Sue hinted at a few weeks ago? Seems likely: It’s sure to get the fanboys all hot and bothered.
UPDATE: Not so, according to Stradley.
But! There’s also Star Wars Adventures, a new all-ages digest series teased in the letter column of the latest Rebellion. We don’t know much, but Jeremy Barlow is writing a story for it about Han and Chewbacca, and it’s slated to debut sometime next year. As someone who was rarely interested in the Dark Horse line until Star Wars Tales came around, I’ll be sure to nab Adventures.
In the category of video you must watch in order to maintain your geek cred, check out this set of seven videos comprising some of the most unusual renditions of the theme songs from Super Mario Brothers. Check it out on gamepro.com. Has anyone ever seen a theremin before? My spell checker apparently hasn’t!
With JadeCon just beyond us and all the new filks showing up on the list (if not at the actual con,) this one by The Eben Brooks Band does seem particularly relevant to our interests. (Thanks, Jennifer!)
