George Lucas Messes With ‘Star Wars’ Again!

In case you weren’t aware, I have never directed a movie. I know, shocking huh! So it’s hard for me to grasp what it must be like for a director finishing shooting and all the post-production BS and then handing over the finished film for distribution. Perhaps it’s like handing your offspring onto a stranger....

Star Wars Blu-ray Unveiled On May 4th

Today is Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you, geddit?), as good a day as any for Lucasfilm to unveil the forthcoming Star Wars Blu-ray boxsets. Unfortunately the teaser site crashed within a few minutes of the announcement going live, according to Dark Horizons. There are three boxsets being released: a 3-disc ‘Prequel...

‘Titans’ To ‘Star Wars’ For Prime Focus

Clash of The Titans will be remembered for many different reasons, most of which are negative. But the one thing that stands out above all else is the poor 3D conversion that was rushed and ended up looking absolutely terrible. The Clash of The Titans 3D conversion was done by a company by Prime Focus,...

‘Star Wars’ Blu-ray Coming 2011

All six Star Wars films are coming to Blu-ray, finally. I say finally not for me, but for all those fans who have spent the last few years imploring George Lucas to release the films on the high-definition format. Whether they’ll be pleased with the plans remains to be seen, however. The release of the...

Darth Vader Banned From ‘Star Wars’

Look at that face. Go on, take a good, long, hard look. That man nonchalantly posing in the Darth Vader costume is the real Darth Vader. No, not James Earl Jones, who provided the voice. No, not Hayden Christensen, who played Vader in Revenge Of The Sith. And no, not Sebastian Shaw, whose face appeared...

DiCaprio On Almost Being Batman’s Robin & Star Wars’ Anakin

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the best actors currently working in Hollywood. In fact, he’s probably one of the best actors of all time. Most of his movies are class acts, and his performances in them tend to lift the movies up a few places. One of the things that seems to dictate DiCaprio’s career...

Mark Hamill Pities George Lucas

Who would you say did the best out of the Star Wars movies? If you didn’t say George Lucas then you must be on drugs. Harrison Ford didn’t do too badly, and Warwick Davies went on to land multiple roles after starting his career in Return Of The Jedi. And then there’s Mark Hamill. The...

‘Star Wars’ On Blu-Ray On Way

I’m a huge fan of Star Wars, even the slightly disappointing Prequel Trilogy. So any new release related to the Star Wars universe fills me with joy, and the news all six movies are going to be released on the Blu-ray format positively makes my year. This has been on the cards for a long...

Ewan McGregor Talks ‘Star Wars’ In Hindsight – Not George Lucas’ Puppet

There can be very few people around who haven’t seen at least one of the six main Star Wars movies we’ve had so far. For six years in the 70s and 80s, and a further six years in the noughties, these were the films to go and see. The Prequel Trilogy obviously didn’t get the...

New ‘Star Wars Movie’ On Way?

A long time ago, in a galaxy actually not too dissimilar to our own, I remember reading that Star Wars was originally conceived as a story comprising nine movies. We had the middle set of movies 30 years ago, the prequel trilogy fairly recently, but what about the sequels – movies set after the Return...

‘Star Wars’ Tops Movie Soundtrack Poll

A great soundtrack has the ability to enrich and enliven even the dullest movie, in the same way that a poor one can bring down the overall quality of a visually amazing film. But what are the best soundtracks of all time, the ones that have stood the test of time and still resound to...

‘Star Wars’ Musical Opens In London

George Lucas knows a good thing when he sees it. After the original Star Wars trilogy was released to critical acclaim, he set about rinsing the franchise for all it was worth. This meant we saw comics, books, video games, toys, alarm clocks, lunch boxes, and every other piece of merchandise you can think of....

Revealed: The Worst Screen Couples Ever – Star Wars FTW

A good on-screen couple can make a film. Even if the dialog isn’t exactly Shakespeare or the acting leaves a little to be desired, if the two actors fizzle and spark on camera then all can be forgiven. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true, and if a couple just doesn’t work, then the film isn’t...
