Star Wars Day Attack Ad: Say No to May the 4th [VIDEO]

Jeremy Fenech — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:40:21 +0000

I love a good and cheesy public service announcement. From Canada's "Say No to Social Farting" to my own "Fighting the Effects of Obsessive Oversized Puppy Syndrome," parody PSAs are always good for a chuckle. Now there is a new one blowing up the internet.

We always want to keep you posted on the latest photo trends. First there was planking, then Tebowing, now there’s something new called “Vadering!” Remember in Star Wars when Darth Vader would use the force to lift someone off the ground and strangle them just by extending his arm? Well, all you do is have [...]

When “Star Wars: Episode III” came out, I went with a bunch of friends to the midnight showing. My wife and I weren’t married yet, and I figured dragging her to the show would test her ability to put up with my inner geek. When the movie was over, she said she couldn’t wait to [...]

Britt Hayes — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:30:49 +0000

With Disney’s recent acquisition of LucasFilm and their promise to release ‘Star Wars Episode 7‘ in 2015, we thought it might be a little while longer before we knew much more — but it looks like the film may already have a writer lined up. According to Vulture, sources tell the site that Disney may [...]

Oh boy, we're in for a long road to 2015. That's when we'll get 'Star Wars - Episode 7' in theaters, but from now until then we're going to be dealing with a lot of rumors about the new 'Star Wars.' Today we heard that Matthew Vaughn might be the film's director, and now we're hearing that it's possible Harrison Ford could join the new film.

In a spoof that looks a lot like ‘Roger & Me’, late night talk show host Conan O’Brian used a look alike Michael Moore in an audition tape for what could be the director’s job for the next Star Wars movie. Watch it after the jump. In a deal announced last week, George [...]

Ever since news broke that Disney purchased Lucasfilm, AKA the 'Star Wars' franchise, tons of Disney-meets-Star-Wars art has hit the net. It's not only really cool, the art also helps us to picture what it'll be like when the sci-fi franchise is immersed in cartoon land.

'Star Wars' Episodes 7, 8 and 9 Are the "Most Exciting," Will Focus on Luke Skywalker?

Britt Hayes — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:01:00 +0000

It was announced yesterday that Disney purchased Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries for $4 billion, with plans to release the first movie ('Star Wars: Episode 7') in a new planned 'Star Wars' trilogy in 2015. Although the additional news that these films will be based on an original story and not on any of the spin-off book series like fans were hoping, we are reportedly still in for an exciting ride.

According to author Dale Pollock, who wrote a biography on filmmaker George Lucas, the upcoming 'Star Wars' trilogy from Disney will be the most exciting 'Star Wars' films yet.

'Star Wars Episode 7′ Is Coming – Who Should Be Cast?

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:41:12 +0000

As you have surely heard, Disney bought Lucasfilm yesterday and promptly announced there would be three more Star Wars movies, with 'Episode VII' coming out in 2015.

The latest trilogy is going to pick up where 'Return of The Jedi' left off, meaning Luke, Han and Leia will all (presumably) be back. Of course the actors who played those roles will be 32 years older than they were when 'Return of the Jedi' came out so we don't think they will be cast again, outside of possible flashforward scenes.

The Best Meme Reactions to Disney's Lucasfilm Acquisition

Emerald Catron — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:18:40 +0000

In case you missed it -- Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion dollars. They also own Marvel now too. To put it in other words, all that stuff you liked as a kid to prove you're not a girl is now owned by the people who made 'Beauty and the Beast.' (On the bright side, the next 'Kingdom Hearts' game could be totally sick.) Of course, not everybody is looking on the bright side. Some of them are making memes. Here are our favorites.

The Best Disney / Star Wars Mash-Up Art

TheFW Staff — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:29:12 +0000

The geekosphere was rocked today with the announcement that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm, the home of 'Star Wars,' for $4 billion. If that wasn't enough to inspire "Goofy shot first" jokes, Disney also announced plans to release a new 'Star Wars' movie in 2015 which will not be written or directed by George Lucas. (The creator fans love to hate will stay on in a creative consultant capacity.)

But fans of both "a galaxy far, far away" and The Mouse House have been creating awesome mash-up artwork as long as the internet (or at least DeviantArt) has been around.

'Star Wars' Sequel in the Works Sans George Lucas – Lucasfilm Now Owned by Disney

Damon Houx — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:15:25 +0000

George Lucas has been the master of 'Star Wars' since its inception and though spin-off cartoons and games have been the norm for years, the film series seemed done with after six movies. Disney has just purchased Lucasfilm for over four billion dollars, and have just announced that they're planning on a new movie for sometime in 2015.

Galaxy's Cutest Dog Wears 'Star Wars' Cone

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:41:17 +0000

Dressing up our furry friends means they're usually subject to embarrassment among other pups. However, we think it's the small price they pay for being so darn adorable. That being said, we've already made our Star-Wars-meets-puppies obsession pretty clear, what with the discovery of Ewok dogs and Princess Leia pugs. Could the fantasy flick and canine combo get any cuter?! Luckily for us, yes.

Some heroes aren't born, they're made. And some of those heroes make heroic, super-cool things. Like 'Star Wars' fan Chris Lee, who, it has come to our attention, has embarked on a cool-thing-making mission of true courage that could change the courses of all our lives.

Yes, friends, Mr. Lee is building a full scale Millennium Falcon.

Dog and Kid Use the Force in Epic Lightsaber Battle

If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, it’s videos of animals with lightsabers, and this, which shows an evil Sith dog squaring off against a young Jedi, may be the best of the bunch. Despite his obvious lack of arms, the dog actually holds his own and parries several blows with a lightsaber held in [...]

10 Dogs Dressed as 'Star Wars' Characters

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:07:52 +0000

We really, really love 'Star Wars.' And by "love" we mean we're borderline obsessed. The only thing that could make it better is if small dogs somehow got involved. Which is to say, it just got better. These dogs display almost as much love as we feel for the fantasy franchise.

Darth Vader may be an evil galactic overlord, but that doesn’t mean he’s above being a corporate shill for Madison Avenue. Hey, times are tough these days, even for a Sith Lord. Ever since he entered the public consciousness with the ‘Star Wars‘ movies, Vader has appeared in commercials for Energizer, Target, Volkswagen and Pepsi, [...]
