Cosplay: Princess Leia from the ‘Star Wars’ comics
Some pretty fantastic cosplay, inspired by Princess Leia’s costume in the current Marvel Star Wars comic book run.

‘Star Wars’ fans have released a restored 35 mm print of the original film
A squad of serious serious Star Wars fans have released a high definition, restored 35 mm print of the original film. Does this sound like something that’s already been done to you? It did to me! However, apparently the difference lies in this restoration being done to a “fully intact version of the film to work with instead of having to piece together different segments from the original print”, which, oh, I didn’t know had been done. Neat!
‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Production Teaser: Cut, Beautiful
This is where we are, regarding the insanity that is Star Wars. A teaser announcing the production for the next movie. And like, it’s probably obvious (given that I’ve seen The Force Awakens six times), but I’m all about it. Oh! The LordsofHype at DisneyStarFlick have also provided an official cast announcement.
Weekend Open Bar: I’ve Seen Things You People Would Probably Believe
This is, as always, Weekend Open Bar. The objective is, as always, to create a holistic HorrorDump at the Internet where like-minded folk can gather. Once gathered we will, as always, shoot the shit about what we’re doing this weekend. You know, flap our flabby lips. Pointedly pontificate about nothing–something. Everything and anything goes, as always, so long as its in a positive spirit.
‘Star Wars Rebels’ Rumor: Grand Admiral Thrawn (!!!) to appear on show
The Prequels left me down as futz during my adolescence, but the Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy definitely helped fill some of that hurt in my heart. When Disney announced they were submarining the entire Expanded Universe, I lamented the (potential) loss of two characters: Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Mara Jade.
It appears that list of mourning is down to one.
‘Episode IX’ News: Trevorrow wants to film in *actual* outer space
I was weary when I heard that Trevorrow was announced to be directing Episode IX, coming off his stint helming the abomination that is Jurassic World. But, I enjoyed his work on Safety Not Guaranteed, and I figured if the LucasCompound chose him there must be something to him. Now? Now the dude is talking about shooting on actual film, and wanting to film in actual outer space. I fuck with both these developments.
Look: Niima Outpost from ‘The Force Awakens’ recreated with LEGO
Rey’s time at Niima Outpost is one of my favorite segments of The Force Awakens. There’s so much glorious goddamn activity taking place, with monsters built with practical effects stomping around. Looking odd. Looking real. It’s great. I imagine it’s a hit with other people, especially since one LEGOWizard was inspired enough to recreate it in LEGO.
