Lucas Changes ‘Phantom Menace’ Yoda from Puppet To CGI. Dude Sucks Hard.
We all know George Lucas sucks. Why do we continually bitch about it out loud? Because it’s therapeutic. The dude has gone and changed the Yoda in The Phantom Menace from a puppet to full CGI for the upcoming Blu-Ray release of his trilobortion and the maimed version of The Trilogy.
‘Art From A Galaxy Far Far Away’ Is Star Wars Gallery Bliss.
Randy Martinez and Denise Vasquez are two artists combining for one sexy Star Wars art gallery in the City of Angeles. While it’s far too away for me to go see myself, the images themselves crank up the nostalgia bomb. It’s great knowing that no matter what Fat Daddy Lucas does unto his trilogy, the sentiment flew out of his hands and into the hearts of artists and creators a long, long time ago. So while he churns out feces now, people inspired by the Skywalker and his Crew can pay homage through art of their own.
Hit the jump for a look at their artwork, and gallery details.
Image: Sand Pit On Mars. Where The Sarlacc At?
(Click image to enlarge. Via.)
Behold this righteous sand pit found on the surface of Mars. It leads to a cavern beneath the surface where undoubtedly Martians are planning their fatal assault on Mars-2, or what we call Earth. They terraformed it, they released us onto it, and now they’re coming home. Uh, right? Moving on.
Wondering how such a thing came to be?
Old Republic Called ‘As Interesting As A Naboo Trade Blockade’. Not Surprised.
I am a Star Wars nerd. I like MMOs. You’d think the two would mix into some delicious concoction for me. Nope. While I have friends throwing rope and counting the minutes until it comes out, nothing – nothing – I’ve seen about it convinces me it’s anything but another MMO. With a bloated budget, too much voice work, and the monolithic Star Wars hype train pushing it.
Luke Plunkett at Kotaku confirms my anxieties.
Trailer: Star Wars XXX, A Porn Parody That Does Lucas Better Than Lucas. [SFW]
The trailer for Star Wars XXX has dropped, and it’s surprisingly…entertaining. All right so there’s no fucking, which means that it’s pretty much just a fan recreation of A New Hope. Still though. Rocks. Brainstorm: is this thing going to feature Luke/Leia fucking? That’ll really get off the Jaime/Cersei shippers.
Also, it features fucking Porkins. Anything that features Porkins is ++ in my book.
Hit the jump for the trailer.
Harrison Ford Bitches Out Chewbacca On Jimmy Kimmel.
Harrison Ford ripped into Chewbacca last night on the Jimmy Kimmel show. It wasn’t the most humorous skit I’ve ever seen, but it was nice to see Ford actually acknowledging his Solo roots. Earring still needs to go.
BioWare Hopes Old Republic Lasts Decades. Good Luck With That.
I’m going to let you in on a secret. Something inside of me tells me that SWTOR isn’t going to be good. I don’t know why, I just have the suspicion. The emphasis on voice acting and storylines? Give me grind quests and fucking dungeons! No, I have no idea. BioWare doesn’t share my skepticism. Maybe cause they made it or something. They think it’s going to last for decades. Decades.
Joe Johnston Wants To Make A Boba Fett Movie.
It’ll never happen, but it’s worth imagining anyways. While promoting Captain America: The First Avenger, director Joe Johnston mentioned off the cuff that he’d like to make a Boba Fett flick. And then it was like a thousand geeks orgasmed at once.
Lucas Shuts Down Fan ‘Star Wars’ Marathon. He Is All That is Douche.
George Lucas is walking proof that I can separate my love for a creation from they who created it. While I love the OT with all my little heart, the doucheability that Lucas possesses knows no fucking bounds. Really, Georgey? You had to shut down a fan run Star Wars marathon? Jesus Christ.
