You’ll understand why I am posting this without description!!!

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

  Given the high gloss treatment Star Wars has seen over the previous years, it doesn’t take much to reinvent the look of a franchise and I’d say artist Richard Lim pretty much nailed it. This conceptual artists take on Star Wars, takes it a step further, by making it a real war. With blurred

Full scale Millennium Falcon completed for Star Wars:Episode VII

When I hear or read about things like this, I always think about that line from Jurassic Park, when the parks creator John Hammond says “Spared no expense”. If this full 1:1 scale model of The Millennium Falcon is any sign of J.J. Abrams dedication to these movies, I’d say he’s in it to win

An open letter to J.J. Abrams about making Star Wars VII

There’s nothing coming out of the London based Star Wars camp, as of late, that has me even remotely interested in how this will all turn out. No one really knows how or what, J.J. Abrams, will do with this beloved franchise. All we have to go on are his previous films, which aren’t bad,

Dark Horse’s THE STAR WARS #1 brings to life George Lucas’s first draft

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

Dark Horse set to release George Lucas’s original-draft screenplay for The Star Wars to be adapted by J. W. Rinzler and Mike Mayhew!

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. This is a story, mind you,

Disney confirms there will be standalone Star Wars films

Today I learned via Collider.com , that Disney CEO Bob Igor has confirmed that there will be standalone Star Wars films that center around new and equally as important characters in the Star Wars mythos. In addition to this great news screenwriters Lawrence Kasdan (The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi) and Simon Kinberg

PHIL TIPPET, THE VETERAN MASTER OF STOP ANIMATION GETS HIS 20 YEAR PROJECT “MAD GOD” FUNDED

CGI animation is all the rage, as it should be.  It has brought some of my childhood fantasies to life on the screen in a way I could never had imagined 25-30 years ago.  Obviously, we didn’t have the technology available to make certain things happen.  What we did have, was Phil Tippett, however.  You know
