In A Galaxy Far, Far Away… There Were Infomercials

Kacy Collins — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:41:31 +0000

This is a genius idea so I’m surprised nobody has done this before. Star Wars Infomercials. Now you have to think, the Star Wars Universe is a huge place and I’m sure that commercials would still exist in a galaxy far, far away, how else would companies advertise other than TV. Usually I don’t buy [...]

Playing Anakin Skywalker Can Be Damaging To Your Mental Health – Just Ask Jake Lloyd.

Chris Callaway — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:04:54 +0000

I guess I am guilty of it too. After being a HUGE fan of the original movies, I was psyched to see "Star Wars - The Phantom menace" when it opened in the Spring of 1999. I left the theater incredibly disappointed, not only with Jar Jar Binks, but also with Jake Lloyd who played the young Anakin Skywalker in the movie. Judging by fans reactions to that first film, I wasn't the only one wanting to throw Jake Lloyd under the bus. Now, he'll never act again because of it.

Ever Wonder What Happened To Jar Jar Binks? [VIDEOS]

Tony Kerns — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:59:06 +0000

With "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" unable to capture the #1 spot at the box office this weekend (coming in at #4), its obvious this film has not held up well. When it was originally released in 1999, Lucas intended the film to entertain the older fans, but appeal to the younger audience that hadn't been exposed to Star Wars yet.

George Lucas Retires, Defends "Nuking The Fridge"

Tony Kerns — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:01:37 +0000

In my opinion, George Lucas is the most successful failure of all time. He’s had two good ideas, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but he needs other people to take charge to carry these ideas into greatness. The best idea he’s ever had is licensing his product and making sure he owns all marketing rights [...]

'Star Wars' vs. 'Star Trek' — Which Is Better?

TheFW Staff — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:00:58 +0000

In one corner, we have ‘Star Wars,’ George Lucas‘ world-changing movies featuring his iconic characters Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca and countless others. The original trilogy spawned three prequels, a slew of cartoons and spinoffs… oh, and a bona fide religion.

In the other, we have ‘Star Trek,’ the show that gave Leonard Nimoy (Spock), William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and George Takei (Sulu) a cult following and launched their careers. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto furthered the legacy by starring in the 2009 film.

So, which is better? It’s now time for you to decide in our poll below.

Today Is "Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars Day"

Tony Kerns — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 02:16:01 +0000

Though Star Wars is the theme for this day, its not just about Star Wars. This day is about not being ashamed to show off what you are passionate about. To never let anyone tell you that you are wrong for liking what you do. And it all started last year with a 7-year-old girl.

George Lucas' 1988 Congressional Testimony AGAINST Altering Films

Tony Kerns — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 01:15:46 +0000

This is something that is nothing short of amazing, intriguing and completely hypocritical. In the 1980s, media mogul Ted Turner caused some waves in the motion picture community by purchasing old black-and-white films from defunct companies, and re-releasing them in a colorized form. Though a financial success for Turner, many of the producers and directors [...]
