Video: Imperial March Played On Floppy Drives. Robo-Metal-Rock.
Finally an answer to our dreams and wishes: the Imperial March played on two floppy drives. It’s something of a geek wunderection.
Video: 4 Year-Old Finds Out Who Is Luke’s Father, Has Appropriate Reaction.
It must be the Autumn’s nostalgia-laced air, but I find this video to be several shades of awesome. A father tapes his son’s reaction to finding out Vader is Luke’s father for the first time. Ah, memories.
Boba Fett x Game of Thrones = Game of Clones. Word.
Artist Dave Styer brings one of the few things involving a Clone Trooper that does not ramapantly suck. Hit the jump to check out his mash-up, and buy the print here.
Star Wars: The Old Republic Gets Release Date, My Winter Break Gets Meaning.
So I was legitimately bummed that Diablo 3 had been pushed back into 2012. Big time! Emptiness. I should have known better. But I must cheer up! It seems that another title that I have anticipated (while something sludging it on the website, because I fear it won’t be good) will be dropping round around Christmas time. Star Wars: The Old Republic, say hello!
‘Star Wars’ Blu-Ray Breaks Records. Oh You Douches.
It’s disheartening to know that for every level-headed dude or dudette I come across here at OL or across the internet, there’s an insane amount of sycophantic Lucas ass-worshippers. I know a good amount of people who swore off buying the the Star Wars Blu-Rays because a) three of the movies were garbage and b) the changes to The Trilogy were unacceptable.
It appears we’re in the minority.
Video: Vader’s ‘Nooooo!’ Inserted Into Classic Movies. T-Rex Goes Emo!
There’s a point where you need to begin to learn to laugh at the travesties. This video infuses classic movies with the horrendous Darth Vader “Nooooo!” which once was only in Ep. III but has since infiltrated The Trilogy.
It’s good shit.
Infographic: Behold All The Star Wars Changes In Chronological Order.
Did you think Lucas started smashing the original trilogy into bits starting back with the Special Editions in 1997? You’d be wrong. I knew he had tinkered before, but I never realized the shit began back the year of its actual release.

George Lucas Spoke Out Against Changing Films In 1988. Body Snatched, IMO.
Last George Lucas post of the day. I promise. This one is too delicious to pass up. Earlier this summer, Steven Spielberg said he regretted making changes to E.T. and spoke out against digital changes in general. I said, derpa!, George needs his friend to talk some sense into it. Well it turns out Lucas understood this concept.
Back in 1988.
Video: More Star Wars Blu-Ray Changes: Death Star Run, Artoo…Hiding Better. I’m Not F**King Kidding.
Ah well whatever what the fuck! This is fucking madness. Lucas has truly pulled down his pants and gleefully, happily shit out kernels of hate and comeuppance for us fans daring to point out that the prequels sucked. Now he’s just changing shit. It’s amazing. Like the bored fat fuck he is. He’s added more X-Wings to the Jedi Death Star run. Okay. Whatever. Needless but fine.
Also?
Now in A New Hope, R2D2 is hiding better behind rocks. Oh, and Jabba’s Palace’s door looks massive. And pointless.
Fuck all this noise.
Hit the jump to see it all in motion.
Video: Lucas Has Added The Vader “Nooo!’ To Return Of The Jedi. F**king Hell.
I first read this news when I was at dinner tonight. I had 32 oz of Sam Adams in me, and it took everything in my power not to flip my steak tips and puke blood onto the table. George Lucas has (purportedly) made two audio changes to the Original Trilogy in the Blu-Ray release.
One of them is adding the Vader ‘Nooo!’ to Jedi.
Hit the jump to hear them.
