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.’
You no longer need to go all the way to Cloud City to see Han Solo forever frozen in carbonite, now that the brilliant minds at ThinkGeek have created an ice cube tray that makes tiny replicas of the famous image from ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’ Plop little Hansicles to in your drink! Make chocolate Han molds and give them to your own Princess Leia!
The force is strong with big spenders. Niue, a Pacific nation northeast of New Zealand has minted Star Wars coins adorned with images of classic characters from the trilogy including Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader and Princess Leia.
Darth Vader has announced the assassination of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Galactic Empire Times is reporting.
The spoof appears in a knockoff website of the New York Times and is done amazingly well.
Not only did a few intrepid wordsmiths put together the tongue-firmly-in-cheek hard news story, someone with Photoshop skills put Vader in front of a podium lifted from the White House.
