In honor of the recent opening of a certain third chapter of a certain space epic, I have a few random links.
- It seems like everyone has a blog these days, even the Dark Lord of the Sith. This fictional (?) blog begins sometime before the events of The Empire Strikes Back and provides illuminating insight into the daily annoyances, personal victories, work-related stresses, etc. of a battle-scarred tyrannical overlord
- Revenge of the Brick is obviously a marketing gimmick to sell more Legos, but at least it’s a really clever marketing gimmick. The movie, a 12 MB QuickTime download, is just over five minutes.
- Some guy took some photos of Star Wars fans in costume at a convention and added some snarky captions. A few comments are somewhat mean-spirited, but overall, the page was pretty funny.
- A Loews Theater in New Jersey accidentally got sent a Japanese print of Episode III. Baka!
- I didn’t quite catch this the first time around, but it seems that Palpatine, himself, was the apprentice who killed his master Darth Plagueis. So now there is a debate among some fans as to whether one of these two had a hand in the “virgin birth” of Anakin.
- If you haven’t caught the DLP version yet, here is a list of theaters showing Episode III on a digital screen.
- Jar Jar frozen in carbonite
