Review: ‘Star Wars in Concert’ in Atlanta

05 Nov 2009 08:26:05 PST

Written by Paula
Anthony Daniels spins a magical tale. Yes, we all know the story. But the way he tells it is a wonderful take on the individual characters and the overarching saga. And, as anyone who has seen him at a convention knows, he knows how to work a crowd.

Star Wars Invasion #3 REVIEW

08 Sep 2009 08:17:59 PDT

Written by ComicList
The comic excels as it shows Luke in action. Luke as a full Jedi Master is just so much cooler than the Luke from the movies. He doesn't come off as a wise master but he sure knows how to be a badass when it's needed. The comic is also great when it presents the emotional roller coaster that Finn is on. H...

Star Wars Legacy #39 REVIEW

31 Aug 2009 04:06:15 PDT

Written by ComicList
The artwork is brilliant. There is plenty of action as Cade and Luke have themselves a lightsaber duel. However, the issue excels when it deals with the character interactions and their reactions. These panels tend to have no backgrounds leaving the full focus on the faces. It works well in th...

Star Wars Legacy #37 REVIEW

29 Jun 2009 06:35:13 PDT

Written by ComicList
The comic is good because it has a complicated plot using many characters with a multitude of allegiances. At the heart of the story is Cade and his two pirate buddies. They are making their way through Sith Imperial ships and stealing cargo. They cash in the stolen goods on the remote planet of...

Written by Charlie Jane Anders
He will, once he runs out of money. It's just a matter of time. Those life-size solid-gold Yoda bidets don't pay for themselves, you know. (With the proximity activation, and the voice that says, "Wash your bottom, you will." That's expensive stuff.) All it'll take is another few insane Star Wa...

Review: Fanboys Might Have Been Funny 'A Long Time Ago'

05 Feb 2009 17:00:00 PST

Written by John Scott Lewinski
The question isn't whether Fanboys, the long-awaited Star Wars nerd road comedy, is funny. It's not. Wired: Cameos by sci-fi legends remind us why we are fanboys. Tired: Gags not lifted from other road movies are ripped from more-effective Star Wars parodies. Rating: See also:

Opinion: GeekDad Holiday Gift Guide #6: Kids' Games & Building Sets

Written by John Baichtal
Speaking of Star Wars: this roleplaying game, using the d20 system that's the backbone of D&D, helps bring George Lucas's milieu to life. Focusing on the core six films, the rules allow players to assume the roles of bounty hunters, Jedi, and other tough guys. Buy it from Amazon.

This made me squee inside because I’m a fangirl who’s read all the fanfiction Expanded Universe books and the best thing I took away from them was Vergere’s challenge to Luke Skywalker that there is no Dark or Light Side. There was also something in those books about Sith not defaulting to ev...

Opinion: 'Force Unleashed' video game lets you release your anger

10 Oct 2008 02:00:00 PDT

Flash forward to my young adulthood, and suddenly I'm an apprentice named Galen, aka "Starkiller." This darkness is a natural extension of today's game world of anti-heroes. But serving under the tutelage of nasty old Darth Vader ranks right up there on the sinister-o-meter.

I have been eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ for a long time. I knew I had to play the Wii version of the game so as to take advantage of the motion controls.

Book Review: The Making of Star Wars, by J.W. Rinzler

30 May 2007 02:04:11 PDT

Written by Ed Driscoll
Of course, like any decent film, it's a miracle that Star Wars is as good as it is. It's an even bigger miracle that it got made in the first place. J.W. Rinzler's The Making of Star Wars is that story. It's a look back to those heady days of 1977, when Star Wars seemed astonishingly fresh and new. In oth...

Review: Lego Star Wars II - Xbox 360 Version

12 Oct 2006 01:21:50 PDT

Written by Rory
The game is called Lego Star Wars II, and it's this game where you play through the Star Wars movies, but you do it with Legos. Oh, yeah. It's called "Star Wars". But that's only half of Lego Star Wars II. The other half of the game is the Lego part.

But I don't own the new trilogy, which in turn begs the question: Am I a true fanboy? Truthfully, I don't know the answer to that anymore. I still adore Star Wars, but I don't follow it with the absurd, nearly religious conviction of the true nut job fans. I really don't know everything there is t...

On Tuesday, Lucas Arts sent me copies of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the Xbox 360 and Playstation Portable.
