Classic Trilogy
This is a cool story about a small town in Wales where the Millenium Falcon was built.

We were sure it would never happen- we would never get the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy on DVD. For all future generations, Greedo would always have shot first, the effects would have been flawless and so on.
And now Lucas changes his mind. More DVD money for them, I guess. The DVD will be available only for a limited time (=mad fan rush) between September and December this year, but the trouble is we all know it won’t be for a limited time. We’ve all been burnt before. Remember the Celebration “exclusive” toys that were later available online for all fan club members? Remember the multiple versions of multiple DVDs we’ve had.

The web site, Angry Yoda: Dismemories (yes, that’s the name!), creates crazy t-shirts with dismemberments from the Star Wars movies drawn like my […]
Thank George
Dan Madsen, former editor of the Insider has launched a web site to host a letter to thank George Lucas for sharing his saga with us. While I wouldn’t go as far as hosting a web site solely for that purpose, I do believe my web site itself is it’s own ‘thank you’ to the maker. [...]
Composer John Williams was interviewed by one of the two Star Wars fan clubs in the Netherlands. He talked about remaking the Trilogy films and inserting Imperial March in Episode IV.
