Carrie Fisher Roasts George Lucas

“George is a sadist. But like any abused child, wearing a metal bikini, chained to a giant slug, about to die, I keep coming back for more.” Lurves it! You may also like: “3-CPO” Once Upon an Internet Google Translate: Star Wars Edition A Visualization of Star Wars Enthusiasm

Star Wars Opening Crawl

And here I thought the sequence was entirely CG… The rudimentary method is quite ingenious, and I’m a bit saddened to learn that the remastered movies have replaced the manual crawl with CG versions. I wonder if the opening crawl for Flash Gordon (George Lucas’ inspiration for the Star Wars films) was done using the […]

My Dad is Awesome

I just saw this onesie at Baby Gap and I fell in love: I know Baby Gap is grossly overpriced, but I’m most definitely getting this for the baby, regardless of its sex. I know J would love it as well because he’s as much of a Star Wars geek as me, nevermind the fact […]

Star Wars X Adidas Originals 2010 Yoda Sneakers

I had previously written about the Star Wars X Adidas Originals 2010 line, and had expressed my desire to get the Yoda sneakers. J too, loved these shoes (I love being married to a fellow Star Wars fan) and we joked about getting matching his and hers pairs. Unfortunately, these limited edition shoes were available […]

“It’s Like Hoth Out There.”

Enter a city name and get back its current climate conditions in Star Wars terms. I just tested it myself and they’re right — I would like to climb into a tauntaun for warmth. Apparently, if the city you enter isn’t listed, the result will be Alderaan, which means that it’s not there (pretty clever, if […]

Star Wars X Adidas Originals 2010 Shoes

I know this has been floating around the ‘net for a while, but I can’t resist… The collection is divided into three: The Character Pack, The Vehicles Pack, and The Direct Pack. The heart of the collection (pictured above) is pretty horrendous in my opinion, but the rest aren’t so bad! I’m especially digging the […]

Star Wars: In Concert

Yesterday J and I attended Star Wars: In Concert at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ. It was…SPECTACULAR. I loved it. We recorded a video of the opening number. I loved how they included the THX and 20th Century Fox music at the beginning, just like at the movies! Here is J’s Flickr set […]

In Two Hours, I’ll Be Waiting in Line…

No, not for Twilight (err, New Moon? Pale Moon?). I hate Twilight. I thought the book was so poorly written that I found the movie — which I downloaded to watch one night while battling insomnia, then trashed immediately after viewing — to be better because at least all the pages full of “staring longingly […]

Looked Familiar I Thought. Yes, Hmmm…

This past week saw the introduction of a new viral photo. Yes, I am talking about the snapshot of Carrie Fisher wearing her infamous bikini outfit, sunbathing on the set of Return of the Jedi alongside her stunt double. When I first came across the picture on Boing Boing, my first thought was not ‘Haawwwtttt!’ […]
