I'm not just talking about Yoda and Salacious Crumb...
Soon we'll have nostalgic figures from the Muppet Show episode from 1980 which featured Mark Hamill (and his cousin Luke Skywalker), as well as the Muppet Star Wars comic featured in a 1983 edition of Muppet Magazine. These babies are mine, as soon as they hit Disney store locations. Starwars.com reports.
Can you say 'new catch-phrase'? News has been rolling in from the panels at NYCC, and Steve Sansweet has given us an oh-so-eloquent outlook on the upcoming live-action show with more empty promises that it will outdo the Star Wars Holiday Special. MTV.com (yeah, I know)
Or is it just me who sees Star Wars everywhere? Apparently, a public water closet that resembles "Darth Vader's spaceship" may be awarded as the best new building in Britain by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Click to read (and glimpse) at Times Online.
This news is a little dated (from Feb '08) but I'm just now landing on this article from Action Figure Insider online by Jason "ToyOtter" Geyer about his path to Star Wars nerd enlightenment in the toy and merchandising industry. I don't think I'll ever comprehend the "all Star Warsed out" part, at least not in a permanent sense. Otter shares some ideas that did and did not make it. It's prolly better that we never saw the Star Wars sun shield come into fruition, because I woulda bought that sucker and drove around with it on!
Other awesomeness includes taking part in the creation of life-sized characters for a Pepsi campaign for The Phantom Menace. I'll take one Darth Maul please.
I've been a little sporadic in the blogosphere and don't think I ever even posted Clone Wars trailers as they sprang. Oop! Apologies for the semi-hiatus.
Techno-artist Avinash Arora pieced together 69,550 frames from the Star Wars saga (with a little help from some CPUs) and recreated the "Star Wars Last Supper" original painting by Eric Deschamps. Arora talks with Gizmodo about the process (more shares more pictures).
That's an understatement. Un-packaging was about 35 percent of time spent. Here's pictures of the Millennium Falcon Transformer from box to fully transformed as per mirax's wishes. Click on any image for humongous view.
Edit - apparently Hulu will only allow embedded video of full episodes to be posted for a limited amount of time. If you try to play the video in this entry, you'll get a bunch o' clips from behind the scenes during the shooting of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Liking Hulu, even though I have a strange impulse to find great insurance deals online in a spy-like manner.
