Costumes and makeup played an important and often-overlooked role in making the six 'Star Wars' movies sensational sci-fi masterpieces that, even today, nothing has really matched. They were at the center of an engrossing experience that made the viewer literally feel as though they had been transported to a distant galaxy far, far away.
March 25, 2013 Do you want to test your Jedi movie watching skills? YouTube user Michael McNulty has synced up all six star wars movies in one video allowing you to watch them all in less than two and a half hours. You're going to need to be a Jedi though to understand them all.
March 20, 2013 This is for all you Star Wars geeks out there. I know too many of you to have not shared this hilariously insightful video, which examines the conspiracy theory that the destruction of the Death Star was an inside job:
The search for a 'Star Wars: Episode 7' director is over. J.J. Abrams - the man who once said he would only be interested in 'Star Wars' as a paying moviegoer - will direct the first film in the new trilogy.
While we wait patiently (ever so patiently...) for a director to finally be named to helm 'Star Wars: Episode 7', we must look elsewhere to feed our 'Star Wars' hunger.
George Lucas will certainly do nicely! Ever since the news broke that the man would be on board in an advisory role during the development of 'Episode 7' (and beyond), most of us have been wondering just how connected he will be. To hear Lucas tell it, he's just sort of going to be hanging around, waiting for people to ask him something.
George Lucas has been the master of 'Star Wars' since its inception and though spin-off cartoons and games have been the norm for years, the film series seemed done with after six movies. Disney has just purchased Lucasfilm for over four billion dollars, and have just announced that they're planning on a new movie for sometime in 2015.
July 2, 2012 Hilarious spoof here about "The Star Wars That I Used To Know". It's a funny, disgruntled message to George Lucas regarding his prequels.
Yeah, we all know how ‘Star Wars‘ villains Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader turned out. But have you ever wondered what they were like as kids?
Etsy sellers the Octopus Tree House did, and the resulting prints by the artist collective are oddly adorable.
In what will surely be the quirkiest thing you see today, a man in a kilt rides a unicycle down the street while playing the the theme to ‘Star Wars‘ on bagpipes.
The sight was so unusual that multiple passengers in a passing car began recording it, creating a video-in-video effect. Check it all out below:
George Lucas has angered ‘Star Wars‘ purists yet again by tinkering with the film’s original trilogy, this time in the upcoming Blu-Ray re-release of the films, which include previously deleted scenes and lines.
George Lucas is famous — or should we say infamous — for tinkering with the original ‘Star Wars‘ movie trilogy. For example, he’s “updated” them with CGI technology that was unavailable at the time they were originally shot, much to the dismay of movie purists the world over who felt they were perfect as-is.
But when the umpteenth re-release of the films, ‘Star Wars: The Complete Saga,’ comes out in Blu-ray on September 16, fans will get to see what Lucas didn’t include, such as this deleted scene between Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’
