A bad day in the Empire
I’d hate to be Darth Vader calling home to explain that the Death Star’s been blown up by … well, just watch it: And kudos to Techrepublic for managing to tie this into a discussion on Disaster Recovery and meeting ettiquette.
Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings
I actually found the several days ago, but the server was so overloaded it was eventually taken down. So here it is again, this time from its original source. I’m not really quite sure what to say about this particular piece. I’ll just tell you it’s pretty funny, and that somebody has way too much [...]
Star Wars is coming to TV
Yes, yes, I know they’ve been talking about this since, what, before Revenge of the Sith? But today I found an article in which Rick McCallum says it’ll be about Luke’s childhood, and that they plan to make at least 100 episodes of it. You know, they say a goal is just a dream until [...]
The future of media
I’ve been doing a lot of musing lately about the future of the Internet and the future of media and how the two of them may come together, so Hollywood’s evolution via 12 key solutions, which tracks Hollywood from its very beginnings — 1 minute silent shorts that were essentially proof of concepts for motion [...]
Are video games better SF vehicles than movies?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while. I’m not really a gamer, but that’s only because of lack of time. (And I’m still waiting for Star Wars: Galaxies to finish downloading updates. I installed it on Sunday night, and it says it’ll be done Wednesday afternoon. Damn dial-up.) But there’s something about good science [...]
Star Wars Galaxies, here I come!
I’m so excited! Yesterday Sarah got me the Star Wars Galaxies Starter Kit. I’ve been dying to play this game for ages, and now I can. Well, when I can carve out some time. Which I will. Soon. The only question is whether I can play it on my excruciatingly slow connection. Until I can [...]
Long Way Round, Revenge of the Sith on DVD
I’m excited to report that today I received an e-mail from Amazon that a US version of the Long Way Round DVD is finally going to be released on December 13, and you can order it now. For those who don’t remember my ranting about it before, this is a series that follows Ewan MacGregor [...]
The blog is complete: The Darth Side
I’m still kind of reeling here, trying to finish funeral arrangements, but I took a break and found that The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster has come to the end of its run. I don’t usually gush about blogs, but I have to gush about this one. It’s basically the first three Star Wars [...]
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Now that I’ve had time to sit and think, I’m ready to talk about this film. The short version: yipee, yipee, yipee, it doesn’t suck!!! In fact, it’s excellent. Wonderful. And most importantly… Fulfilling. Yes, Episode III has actually managed to give me closure on this part of my life. For those non-fans among you, [...]
One more day…
Well, I’ve got my tickets — went and picked them up at the theater a couple of days ago — and I’m ready. I’ve finally managed to get excited, instead of nervous. Keeping my fingers crossed… Technorati tags: Star Wars | StarWars | ROTS | Revenge of the Sith | Episode III | Darth Tater
