Epic poster art for Paul Johnson's short animated film, TIE Fighter
What if there was an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that's all but vanished from Japan nowadays? Well, I tried my best.
We haven't had a post in awhile and despite no posts around here on the subject if you follow us on Twitter it pops up from time to time, seem to like some Wes Anderson. This Star Wars trailer mashup isn't amazing but the fact that someone made it is good enough.
"Star Wars: Despecialized Edition" is a fan edit project with the goal
to reconstruct the original theatrical releases of the Star Wars
original trilogy (Episodes IV, V, & VI) at a quality comparable to
the high-definition medium of our time. To learn more about this
project, search the web for "Star Wars Despecialized Edition" or click

I'll admit, I haven't watched any of True Detective.... dunno if it's my thing, but heard all the rave reviews. Might give it a shot later just to find more meme-able clips like this. Wow.
Also, does Woody Harrelson age into Ed O'Neill eventually as the story progresses?
And that legendary hypercheese Star Wars Holiday Special.... thought we had a copy of it around here somewhere but maybe not..who knows what tag it's buried under....Life Day? haha
"Somewhere in Space, this may all be happening right now..."
This is the original teaser trailer for Star Wars released yesterday on the official Star Wars youtube channel. It's rough but worth a watch to see the beginnings of what would come. (thank god what came later was so much better)
All good ensemble casts and universes have a poker game.
Not exactly new, think it was a shirt for sale years ago -- but relevant on all the frenzy surrounding J.J. Abrams taking the directing helm for the new Disney Star Wars (Episode...7?) as well as already being at the reigns of the rebooted Star Trek franchise.
The Star Wars Uncut team is launching Chapter 2 (err, Episode) in the epic fan-contributed piece-by-piece remake saga. This trailer is made up of a bunch of random clips from Star Wars Celebration -- it's actually a good little video of the sort of random craziness you would find there. heh
After being under strict wraps for a long time, the formerly known as "Untitled Star Wars animated tv series" - now known as Star Wars Detours - was recently revealed to the world through a trailer and series of promo clips (watch the 6 clip playlist below). The notable thing about it is that Star Wars uber-geeks and Robot Chicken masterminds Seth Green and friends are involved. So what you get is an animated version of the Robot Chicken Star Wars specials sort of. It's hard to knock as those specials are legend-ary. Definitely some of the funniest, most rewatched and referenced humour around Yesterday's Cheese. And on that note, it seems fitting that this post, our 500th, is on the Star Wars humour tip. Not only is it our most frequent post tag, but like I said, the Star Wars Robot Chicken episodes are easily some of our favorite stuff ever. Anyways, we'll see where Detours goes - tagline for the show is "the other side of the stars, between the wars". It might end up pretty cheesy, but as far as Star Wars humour goes, should be pretty hard to screw up.
As seen in a recent episode of Big Bang Theory in the comic book store, this is some artwork from Star Wars Force Unleashed. Old, but still a pretty c00l poster of a Star Destroyer crashing (being taken down by an Apprentice...apparently).

Star Wars fans are never happy. For years, they've been critiquing, protesting, having lightsaber duels amongst themselves and loving and hating George Lucas and his epic film universe creation. The latest in a galaxy of Star Wars commentary, thanks to the DIY engine that is the Internet, is something from a site called How It Should Have Ended. For this edition of their video series they tackle How Return Of The Jedi Should Have Ended.
Wait, there's more. After the project got put together a few years ago, Star Wars Uncut has been released to the masses nicely edited and packed up into one epic New Hope Director's Cut. If you recall, the project was for fan submissions of every single 15 second block of Star Wars to be pieced together creating a unique spin on the entire movie. If you've got 2 hours, it might be worth checking out ..if anything for the randomness and to up your geek level +10. I think we will tackle it 10 minutes at a time.
