Rick McCallum didn’t make jump from LUCASFILM to Disney. No probs right here.
There is a great moment in the Making of the Phantom Menace where Rick McCallum and the rest of the crew is watching a first cut. As the camera fixes on McCallum’s face, you can see realization slowly wash over him. He begins to realize that his Dark Master has made a flaming pile of excrement. Instead of mentioning this to Sir Lucas, Ricky decides to continue doing what he had been up to for years. Washing the Lord’s balls. So no, I’m not sad that McCallum has “retired”, and in fact I’m pretty fucking excited he is gone.

Rumor: ‘EMPIRE STRIKES BACK’ writer Lawrence Kasdan could script ‘EPISODE VIII & IX’?
Star Wars fans, go ahead and tug your bits to this rumor. It’s designed to titillate all your various nerd glands. There ain’t any shame, I promise. Draw the blinds, and get slushy in your pantaloons. Lawrence fucking Kasdan! Oh, and some other guy too.
Rumor: ‘BRAVE’ co-director Brenda Chapman working on ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE VII.’
If you’re tired of Episode VII news, I’m sorry. I really am. Unfortunately for you, this is kid in a candy shop type swagger going on here. Almost too good to be true, almost too ludicrous to be real. The latest rumors are swirling around the co-director of Brave. A flick I never saw.
HARRISON FORD may be open to returning for ‘EPISODE VII.’ I am in an alternate universe.
The past week has seen me typing headlines I never, ever thought I would type. The latest has Harry Ford open to returning to Star Wars. Just chew on that. Spit it up. Lick it off the back of your palm. Chew it again. Then drop your thoughts in the comments box.
Rumor: MATTHEW VAUGHN directing ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’? I could dig this.
Matthew Vaughn? Episode VII? Never thought I’d see those two names together, but there are a hell of a lot worse choices. What do you folks think?
The Dude’s High 5s: Spaceships
The thought of traveling through space scares the hell out of me. Not many things do, but that is one of them. To be immersed in the infinite blackness with no compass, putting all your trust in a computer that may or may not be correct is insanity. Why would anyone do it? Well, if I were forced into it, these are the spaceships that would make me feel slightly better about the whole ordeal.
‘STAR WARS’ TERRARIUMS? I don’t see why the heck not.
Star Wars terrariums? Hats-off to people infinitely more creative than me for coming up with such things.
‘STAR WARS’ goes spaghetti westerns in these delicious posters.
Timothy Anderson brings the heat, mixing Star Wars with the glory of spaghetti westerns in this set of posters.
‘STAR WARS’ characters done up as 1980s teens. Denis Medri’s art dominates.
Denis Medri has imagined Star Wars characters as teens in the 1980s, and the result is about as balling as you would expect. There is nothing like multi-cultural-inbreeding to bring out the rampant nostalgia beasts. They have like a zillion horns, drink only at soda foundations, and have been known to demand their McDonald’s in styrofoam.
