Willrow Hood, the focus of Episode 35 of the “Star Wars In Character” podcast is a much loved, if not obscure, character from the Star Wars Galaxy. While Star Wars In Character outline Willrow’s significance in the Star Wars Galaxy, there’s much more to the man and his impact on our...

The latest episode of Star Wars in Character featured the Cantina Band. I had a hard time picking one of the many brief website mentions, videos, etc out there for my segment of the podcast, so instead of picking 1, I pieced together 18 of some of the more memorable versions of the Cantina...

After six long years, it’s finally done. You can watch the final edit of “Thaco’s Last Stand” here. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

In the latest episode of “Star Wars In Character” featuring the “Rancor Keeper” from “Return of the Jedi”, I failed to to find a website or page devoted to the character for my segment of the podcast. So to fully complete the episode, I had to come up with...

NeoZAZ Productions is thrilled to announced the latest addition to our network of award nominated podcasts: STAR WARS: IN CHARACTER Join us each week as we discuss the lesser known Star Wars characters that often get overlooked. If you are a Star Wars die-hard, you will love the “Star...

There really is no explaining this. All I can say is; for the past few months Chris and I have been arguing after recording sessions for the GR80s Podcast whether or not this happened – he’s been claiming it didn’t. But today I found a few seconds of proof that Chris did...

Greetings, space-dweebs! And welcome once again to another episode of Comic Wars. In the last episode, if you recall, I pointed you to a wonderfully pointed and sick critique of The Phantom Menace. Well, our prostitute-kidnapping friend has returned with a complete tear-down of Attack of the...

Welcome to Comic Wars, Episode 7. Before we get started, I have to point you to an awesome, scathing review of The Phantom Menace. It’s 7 installments of 10-minute YouTube videos, but it is well worth your time to watch it. Not only is it insightful and intelligent, but it is hilariously...

Welcome to the sixth episode of Comic Wars. In case you missed the previous episodes, you can start here. It is at this point that we reach the frayed end of the lifeline connecting the crazed imaginings of the comic book writers to the comparative rationality of Lucas’ universe. From...

The Clap(board) Daily I have to launch an application from my Dock in which in the icon is a clapboard (or claperboard). And daily, I launch the wrong program – sometimes more than once. I finally took a good look at my apps dock to see exactly how many icons I have that are clapboards in...

Considering how many times I’ve gone to Universal Orlando in the past 2 months, it’s hard to believe it’s taken me this long to finally snap some pictures of the new “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” area of Islands of Adventure. But yesterday I finally made the...

Welcome to the fifth chapter of Comic Wars. From looking at the cover, you might get the impression that the rather more smooth-surfaced cousin to the Death Star actually strafes Rebel bases, picking off people and ships, rather than exploding entire planets, like the real Death Star. While...

Over at Daring Fireball, Gruber referenced this article at Engadget about the future of Nokia. Gruber: Count me as a Nokia pessimist. I think their leadership lacks the balls to move ahead strategically. He may very well be right, but Nokia has been in a similar position before, and –...

Welcome back to another issue of Comic Wars where, if it wasn’t in the movie, it doesn’t belong on the page. (If you haven’t yet, please read episodes 1, 2 and 3.) We catch up with our heroes getting cornered in the detention area just after freeing Princess Leia from her...

For the past week my spam folder has been bursting with an unusual amount of entries, mostly from “delivery request information” or “payment requests”. Just today, 3 made it past the spam filter and into my inbox, all payment requests notifications with attachments – attachments that...

To everyone on American Idol/Keeping Up With The Whoevers/America’s Next Top Something  – this is what you’re going to look like in twenty years: Although I admit I never get tired of seeing the Rerun...

The third chapter of the Star Wars comic book sees the heroes finally reaching the Death Star. In fact, that’s the title of the chapter, in a strange, very non-sci-fi font. I have to say I’m rather impressed that they are using words like “foemen”, which, even to this...

Welcome back to another edition of Comic Wars. I forgot to say last time that I was going to take each issue of the comic in turn, so it will take several episodes to get through A New Hope. When we last left our heroes, Luke had gone out into the Dune Sea to look for his prodigal droid,...

A long time ago, in an attic right up the street, Matt stashed a box of comics that I had given him. It consisted of a near-complete run of the Star Wars comic book produced by Marvel concurrently with the original movie trilogy. I had completely forgotten about them, but on his last visit to...

I never saw a real video-dating-service video before, so I’m not sure how representative these clips are. But I’m going to go ahead and assume that everyone using a video dating service in the 80′s was just like this: I can just watch that over and over...
