YOU GUYS. You have to look at this adorable little Princess Leia and tell us, with a straight face, that she’s not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen in your life. Inspired by — who else? — Princess Leia from ‘Star Wars,’ this tiny little Leia cosplayed by the teensy-weensy Breckyn is just too cute [...]

The 10 Dumbest 'Star Wars' Figures Ever Made

Chris Cummins — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:44:41 +0000

'Star Wars' figures are as much of a childhood staple as Mr. Potato Head and View Master reels. So with a seemingly endless array of new 'Star Wars' products in our immediate future thanks to the upcoming movies, the time seems right to reflect upon the saga’s i

See an Adorable Kitten's Jedi Mind Trick

Emerald Catron — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:40:13 +0000

We suspect this video is supposed to be cute. It is not cute. It is terrifying. Cats are not to be trusted. Sometimes you can pet them. Sometimes they try to rip your flesh off with their angry, sharp claws. Why would you want to imagine a world in which they can control things with their [...]

10 Little Darth Vaders Too Cute to Go to the Dark Side

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:52:12 +0000

It seems like Darth Vader's turned a positive corner recently. He's become part of the Disney family after all, so maybe the whole hanging out with princesses thing is turning him into a softie. Or maybe he just got a bad rep all these years. Whatever the case, it doesn't seem like the Dark Lord is all that bad. Why? Well, these kiddos are proof.

'Star Wars: Episode 7′ – J.J. Abrams Will Direct!

Mike Sampson — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 00:42:47 +0000

Damon Houx — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 23:04:54 +0000

'Star Wars' rumoring isn't going to stop with just 'Episode 7' even if that picture hasn't signed a director or cast yet. On top of those rumors, we're now going to be hearing gossip about the entire next trilogy, and possibly all the spin-off movies after that. If the internet implodes on itself, it's going to be because of 'Star Wars.' Today's latest news: That they've approached Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kindberg to write and produce Episodes 8 and 9.

'Angry Birds Star Wars' Is the Cartoon Mash-Up You're Looking For

Amanda Ferris — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:33:27 +0000

In one of the more bizarre yet cooler crossovers, the 'Angry Birds: Star Wars' game is now available for purchase. The trailer begins with an homage to 'Star Wars: A New Hope' as two Angry Birds, one dressed as Luke Skywalker and the other as Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, enter the iconic Mos Eisley bar on Tattooine.

George Lucas Is Giving His 'Star Wars' Money to Education

Damon Houx — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 03:52:54 +0000

It's easy to poke fun at George Lucas. He directed the prequel trilogy after all, and refuses to acknowledge the original cuts of the first three 'Star Wars' movies. But when Lucas does good, that's no joke. And today word broke that Lucas will be giving the majority of the money he got for selling Lucasfilm to educational philanthropy.

The Best Meme Reactions to Disney's Lucasfilm Acquisition

Emerald Catron — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:08:56 +0000

In case you missed it -- Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion dollars. They also own Marvel now too. To put it in other words, all that stuff you liked as a kid to prove you're not a girl is now owned by the people who made 'Beauty and the Beast.' (On the bright side, the next 'Kingdom Hearts' game could be totally sick.) Of course, not everybody is looking on the bright side. Some of them are making memes. Here are our favorites.

Orchestral Flash Mob Plays the Theme from 'Star Wars'

Donald Deane — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 17:44:09 +0000

The WDR Symphony Orchestra adds a much-needed touch of class to flash mobs by rapidly convening in a square in Germany and serenading the assembled crowd with a piece of music. Of course, their decision to play the 'Star Wars' theme makes the whole thing border on geeky, but we're okay with that.

10 Dogs Dressed as 'Star Wars' Characters

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 14:15:35 +0000

We really, really love 'Star Wars.' And by "love" we mean we're borderline obsessed. The only thing that could make it better is if small dogs somehow got involved. Which is to say, it just got better. These dogs display almost as much love as we feel for the fantasy franchise.

How a Muggle Learned to Enjoy a Harry Potter Movie

Amory Gritta — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:54:06 +0000

Earlier last month, it was announced that the local theater would be running a Harry Potter Double Feature, Part 1 of Deathly Hollows and then Part 2 right at 12:01AM Friday morning.

There’s a long, convoluted story about how I got roped into attending but I’ll try to give you the short version.

A cute girl asked me to go with her.
