Spoof Blog: Yoda Meets Yoga!

Star Wars + Yoga = pure comedic gold!

Check out this spoof blog in which Steve Jones, Senior VP of LucasFilm Marketing and Brand Strategy, corresponds with George Lucas in a series of letters about a new direction for The Force!

Here's a taste of what to expect. An excerpt of one of Lucas' letters to Jones:

"Yoga SUCKS. I don't really care what you people say - it is neither therapeutic nor fun; and I'll be honest with you - contorting myself so that I resemble one of my spaceships is just simply weird. That being said, I am open to the brand growth opportunities..."

SDCC The Old Republic Panel Video: Space Combat Announced!

If you were not able to attend SDCC this past weekend, well... you missed quite a bit. One of the featured Star Wars panels was the Bioware "The Old Republic" panel, hosted by Morgan Webb. In the panel, Bioware lead-designer James Ohlen broke the news that the game would include space combat (to the roaring approval of the crowd).

Gamespot has posted a 49 minute video of the panel, so now you can see exactly what went down yourself.

In one word this game is going to be.... EPIC!

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.
