But What About Star Wars: Detours?

Star Wars: Clone Wars is ending.  And we need a new show to replace it, because a world without creepy CG versions of Star Wars characters is a world we just don’t want to live in, I guess.  So, Star Wars: Rebels.  Basically Clone Wars, but set in the period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.  Hopefully that means less goofy robots and more badass Stormtroopers, but time will tell on that one.  I’d like to be excited, but I’ve seen too many episodes of Clone Wars to be anything but mildly interested.  And even that mild interest is based mostly in the addition of Greg Weisman as an executive producer. Maybe he’ll be able to tell a story in the Star Wars universe that doesn’t bore me to tears.  Hopefully.

Meanwhile, Star Wars Detours seems to be completely dead.  Sad.  I mean, I’m sure I’m the only person who’s sad, but still, sad.

Star Wars Filibuster by Patton Oswalt Has Been Animated

Remember that Star Wars filibuster? Well now you get some visuals in case it was confusing in any way (only a little). We finally have concept art for the weird Chewbacca spider cyborg thingy.

JJ Abrams Gets Terrible Star Wars Plot Suggestions

Jimmy Kimmel does a good job of getting his guests involved in bits. Couple of weeks ago, Harrison Ford took questions from the audience to hilarious results. Now we have JJ Abrams, who will be directing the new Star Wars, and there’s some nice surprise celebrity cameos in there as well. Surprise!

Star Wars Infomercials Focus on Carbonite

There’s some good jokes in the beginning, some we have seen before mostly by Robot Chicken. But then they go on and on about a home carbonite chamber that solves all of your problems. It really causes more problems than it solves. But don’t let me stop you from buying your home carbonite chamber, I’m sure you have elusive smugglers you need to keep fresh in molten rock-steel.

Star Wars Intro in Minecraft is Blocky

Except for the lack of perspective scrolling and lack of creation in Minecraft, this is a pretty neat animation for an entire redo of the intro to Star Wars. He even put skeletons in front of each other and made them shoot each other, sometimes in hilarious fashion. I’m surprised he got footage out of that at all.

If Disney Really Made Disney Star Wars This Would Be It

The puppets and zebra-headed thing give it away. Though this thing is freaking adorable, the entire over 25 fan base of Star Wars would shit a brick. Yup, literally shit a brick. Someone’s parents has a lot of money. I’m looking at you, 3 kids who are probably spoiled and live in LA. More delusional than crazy saxophone kid.

Australian Star Wars is As Australian As You Think It Is

Oh, man. This is so Australian. Like, really Australian. I couldn’t understand the first half of this. I, uh, not sure what happened. But since it’s a Star Wars movie, I got the gist of it. But, man, it’s so Australian.

Empire Political Ad Against May the 4th

May the 4th will have to compete with Free Comic Book Day this year. Can’t tell if that will make it more present and popular or not, but Facebook is going to be covered in pictures trying to make a clever pun. Not even an official holiday, you may see more Star Wars cosplay than you expected, especially if you participate in Free Comic Book Day.

If Supervillains Had to Speed Date No One Wins

I think one of the major reasons that supervillains exist is that they can’t get dates, or their dates die and and can’t cope with it. Would speed dating help? Not if this is how they act.

Star Wars Animation Clocks in at 60 Seconds

Here’s the entire original Star Wars (Episode IV) in 60 seconds. The only plot point they leave out is the cantina scene, which they needed to skip to hit their goal time. If you are in a rush and want to watch the movie again, this is how to do it.
