Disney has bought Lucasfilm: Star Wars 7 planned

Crikey. I didn’t see that coming. Just this evening, Disney has announced it’s agreed to buy Lucasfilm for $4bn plus change. And, at the same time, announced plans for “Star Wars 7″ – due in 2015. “I can’t believe I’ve convinced Disney to pay so much money for Jah-Jah Binks,” wasn’t said by George Lucas. [...]

Star Wars meets Withnail and I

Absolutely hilarious if you know both films. And if you know both films you’ll already know that this is very definitely not one for the kiddies (indeed, it may not be safe for work either. So be warned).

Boba Flashdance

How do people think of these things? Who sees a Boba Fett ‘doll’ and thinks “you know what, I think I’ll spend the next few hours re-creating that iconic sequence from Flashdance I enjoyed 20 years ago through the medium of stop-motion animation.” Obviously there’s not a lot to do in Canada, home of filmer/animator/loony [...]
