Boba Fett Invades "The Force Unleashed II"

During out trip to SDCC, one panel we could not miss was "The Force Unleashed II" panel. As expected Haden Blackman wowed the crowd wth plenty of juicy tidbits, including the promise of an ending to the game that will force fans to re-examine what they know about the franchise! (oh boy! oh boy!)

But one of the cooler moments of the panel was when the above clip was played to reveal that Boba Fett himself will be a key cog in the new game. Ah... Comic-Con... it always leaves you wanting more!

I Bet You Never Thought You'd Want a '79 Dodge Van!

We were left slack-jawed after receiving an email from Motorjunkie (who professes to not be a huge Star Wars fan), and we followed the link he sent us to check out the custom Star Wars van he recently created. This '79 Dodge B200 has been transformed into a Rebel ride that will have every Star Wars fan's S-foils locked in attack formation!

Motorjunkie claims he's more of an artist and graphic designer than anything, and based on his work... he's a darn super one!

To see more photos, check out his Photobucket page.

How to Reboot Star Wars

Michael Caine as C-3PO? Denzel Washington as Obi-Wan Kenobi? Christian Bale as Chewbacca???????????

Or as Arnold would say on "Diff'rent Strokes"... "What ch'u talkin' 'bout, Willis?!" (RIP Gary Coleman!)

Well, the folks over at totalfilm.com have put together a very funny "How to Reboot Star Wars" article that will surely have you rolling. The best part is that some of what they put forth is semi-realistic, while some of it is downright ridiculous. The entire thing reaches the sublime!

Thanks to Nicole A. for the heads up on this!!!!
