Disney Buys Lucasfilm, Announces Multiple 'Star Wars' Sequels [News]

HOLY CRAP! News has just broken that The Walt Disney Company (the people who bring you classic cartoons and Marvel Comics) has agreed to acquire Lucasfilm, LTD. for a whopping $4.065 billion (yes, BILLION). Their first order of business? Not much, just announcing multiple Star Wars sequels, with the first to hit theaters by 2015.

The Crossover No One Wanted: Angry Birds and Star Wars?

Rovio (the Angry Birds) people launched a new Angry Birds tumblr today, on which this image surfaced.  I think only one quote can really sum this up:

 I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Terrible indeed.  I'd been playing Rovio's Bad Piggies (for a review, coming soon) and enjoying it quite a bit, thinking "Maybe Rovio ain't so bad".  Guess I was wrong.  Still though, not the worst video game-related thing to happen to Star Wars in recent memory...

Got About an Hour and a Half to Spare? Watch the Best Thing Ever!

Ever wish there was a version of Star Wars where all the characters had the voices of your favorite cartoon characters?  How about one where Luke was William Shatner, Greedo was Tony Soprano, and Han Solo was Twilight Sparkle?  All those wishes (and so much more!) come true in this panel from Emerald City Comic-Con.  It's worth watching alone for John Dimaggio's Paul Lind impression.  I honestly thought there was no way I would make it through the whole thing, but once I started I couldn't not finish it!

Happy Star Wars Day...

Yes, today is Star Wars Day! So mix up a tall glass of Bantha Milk and enjoy the trippiest Star Wars-themed holiday special ever made!

The Wampug Strikes Back

Remember Chubbs the Wampug from last Halloween? Well, she's back again starring in a remake of the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. She's so cute, I wouldn't object if George Lucas edited her into the actual movie for the 3D release.
