Last week we heard the news that Star Wars Galaxies will be closing down at the end of 2011. Of course, as we pointed out it’s not all doom and gloom for Star Wars gaming fans, even with the Death Star poised to strike on the world of SWG. Because there’s another Star Wars MMOG [...]
You’ve doubtless seen the Volkswagen advert where the kid dressed up in a Darth Vader suit is running around the house trying to force-push various objects.

3D is suddenly all the rage, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise that the Star Wars films are up for a three dimensional makeover.

YouTube has brought us many, many clips since it became the video giant of the web, but the latest home-made epic we’ve stumbled across (via Topless Robot) is Toy Wars. Toy Wars is a remake of the original (and still the best, well, perhaps shaded by Empire) Star Wars movie by Sillof on YouTube, using [...]
You may have already heard about the planned Star Wars sitcom project, which will be helmed by Seth Green (of Austin Powers, Buffy and Family Guy fame).

It seems that Lucafilm will not have to make any more Star Wars films because all they have to do is wait for the latest technology to come out in order to re-launch the film series. Already there has been Beta, VHS and DVD releases of the films, but now there Blu-ray and HD coming [...]
Star Wars could be in with a bit of treat or not depending on how they feel about Katie Price and Alex Reid having a Star Wars themed wedding! Yes it seems that the cage fighter Alex Reid is a total Star Wars fan and would love to get married dressed as Darth Vader, while [...]
In the past it has been a regular feature that studios try and get as much out of their investments as possible. This has meant that films that came out on video, were released on DVD, then digitally re-mastered, re-released in HD, then Blu-ray and now it seems that there is another format that studios [...]
Fans of Star Wars will be able to sit through a live Star Wars concert as it travels around Europe later on in the year. The concert features many of the famous pieces composed by John Williams taken from all six films; these will be performed live by an orchestra and choir, while in the [...]
Being taken to the High Court by George Lucas is nothing to take lightly especially when it is over copyrights. But this is no pirating of videos or anything like that, the case is against the man that designed and built the famous white Stormtrooper helmet. Andrew Ainsworth was awarded to the contract to design [...]
This is must be what all Star Wars fans have been waiting for! It is a chance to claim a scene from the films and remake it, as only you would want to see it. It is the idea of Casey Pugh to produce the ultimate Star Wars adventure created by the fans for the [...]
The supermarket giant Tesco have been accused of many things, but religious discrimination does not seem to be high up on the list of complaints, until now that is. It seems that a Tesco store in North Wales has become the centre of a universal conflict after asking the head and founder of a Jedi [...]
One thing about science fiction fans is that there is nothing like a good rumour to get the creative thoughts flowing. So on the subject of rumours, what about this one. The Lucasfilm PR person Steve Sansweet was attending the Dragon*Con 2009 event, when casually he dropped something into a conversation that grabbed the attention [...]
It has been in the pipeline for quite a while now, but finally it looks as if the much awaited Star Wars live action TV show is about to go into production. However, this is not going to some big Hollywood production, no George Lucas has moved the production to Australia and not only that [...]
Man of Steel teaser trailer released
If you’re sick of comic-book adaptations and film remakes, the last thing you might expect to get excited about is a new Superman film.
