Happy Star Wars Day and May The Fourth Be With You!
4 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
May the 4th is upon us once again, which means it’s time for us to wish our awesome fans a Happy Star Wars Day! Even though Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released on May 25th, 1977, due to the clever (force/fourth) pun, May the 4th has become known among fans as Star Wars Day. With that being said, May the Fourth be with you… always.

Films To Watch Before You Die #82 - Star Wars (1977)
10 April 2012 8:56 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
D.J. Haza presents the next entry in his series of films to watch before you die...
Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, 1977.
Directed by George Lucas.
Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, David Prowse and James Earl Jones.
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is the first film made in George Lucas’ epic six film Star Wars saga and the fourth installment in the list of episodes. Star Wars was groundbreaking in 1977 and brought about new special FX, used unconventional editing and introduced a new wave of sci-fi and fantasy storytelling to cinema. The film is one of the most successful and influential films of all time and won six Oscars, but missed out on Best Picture.
The story follows Luke Skywalker (Hamill) who comes into possession of two droids carrying a distress message »

Mirror Mirror and dwarfism at the movies
6 April 2012 8:52 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He may be the star of the new Snow White adaptation, but Povinelli's dwarfism means he's fighting for varied roles
In his hotel room in New Orleans, Mark Povinelli is reflecting upon the sort of scripts he receives. "They're usually obnoxious. I flick through to what page I'm going to be on and … 'Oh look! Biting someone on the ankle! Or punching someone in the balls!' … The trick is to be one step ahead of them. You can't just say, 'I don't like this', you have to come up with an idea that is better. And that's the real challenge – an extra added task that a lot of average actors don't have to deal with. Not only do you have to be a good performer, but you have to come up with better material than you're given a lot of times, to allow yourself to sleep at night."

Film Review: Eye-Popping 3D, Same Story in ‘Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace’ Rerelease
10 February 2012 8:42 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Jar Jar Binks is back, and George Lucas has him in 3D. Yes, the re-release of 1999’s “Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace,” takes advantage of the new 3D technology. However, it can’t change the story or the now 13-year outrage regarding this weird take on the Stars Wars legacy. Were we ever that young and that angry?
Rating: 3.0/5.0
It was interesting revisiting the film and its controversy, since it was probably the most anticipated release of the 1990s. The simplicity and clean lines of the narrative in first series of films – actually the middle series, which again caused some consternation – gave way to a film about blockades and trade wars, with an introduction of the most hated character in cinema in the last 25 years, and that’s even taking in the entire Adam Sandler’s oeuvre. Jar Jar Binks, actually the whole bizarre Gungan tribe, is »

28 January 2012 10:14 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
First we were treated to dogs barking the Imperial March in a teaser for Volkswagen's Super Bowl Xlvi TV spot, airing February 5th during the big game. Now we've learned that next Sunday's anticipated Star Wars themed ad will take place inside the infamous Mos Eisley Cantina, and its storyline will revolve around that most famous Snivvian of all, Snaggletooth. Volkswagen has released a teaser image with this popular alien at the forefront. Check out the return of Snaggletooth in the photo below (hopefully this will do more for his career than The Star Wars Holiday Special and his notorious dance with Maude's Bea Arthur ever did).

Exclusive: A look at Chewie, the screenplay about the making of Star Wars
24 January 2012 11:05 PM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
There was once a time when nobody knew what a Wookiee was.
Before the first Star Wars movie exploded onto the public’s consciousness in May 1977 it was a completely different time for fans of movies and sci-fi. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws had only been released the year before and had unexpectedly become the first modern age box office hit. Hollywood hadn’t yet realized that it was about to enter the era of the summer blockbuster and didn’t yet know audiences were craving imaginative cinematic experiences to distant galaxies and high adventure.
Back then, Star Wars was an unproven concept. Science fiction films didn’t make big money and were considered risky gambles for studios to take. And for a 32-year-old filmmaker named George Lucas who had a vision of Jedi Knights, dark Sith Lords, droids and princesses in peril, selling a major movie studio on making Star Wars »
