Wanna know what a Star Wars airport looks like?

Computer animator Frank Wunderlich uploaded this several months ago with tags that this was “potentially” leaked footage from the set of Star Wars VII, but for those of us who saw this, we all know that wasn’t the case.

When David Lynch turned down the chance to direct Return of the Jedi

I’m a Star Wars fan and I didn’t even know this. I found this on one of my favorite sites Dangerous Minds, it tells a tale of when David Lynch was approached by George Lucas to direct Return of the Jedi. Sounds crazy right? Well it kind of makes sense seeing as how Lynch was

Illustrator Richard Lim puts the Wars back in Star Wars

The “Force”, however, is mentioned in a

Has the Jedi mysticism in Star Wars been lost over the years

The years have not been kind to the Jedi, a once benevolent group of mystics whom occasionally had to do battle with the forces of evil to create balance in the universe. Remember when Star Wars was just about Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Darth Vader? It’s been a very long time since

The details regarding this latest adaptation are still rolling in, but the announcement was made at Wondercon that Lucas is allowing Dark Horse Comic’s to adapt his original screenplay The Star Wars, into a comic book series with J.W Rinzler adapting and Mike Mayhew (The Avenger’s) set to pencil.
