Lego | The Force Unleashed

Happy Star Wars Day!!! This is, by far, one of the best fan-made, stop motion videos I've ever seen. And the fact that they took it past the 6 movies and went into showing the badass that is Galen Marek/Starkiller? Amze. It's so worth the watch even if you're not a nerd, or pretending not to be. You're not fooling anyone, bro, just watch it. Haha! For our full blog coverage of everything "Star Wars", click here! AVideoMagazine|StarWars

May The 4th Be With You

In honor of Star Wars Day, and at the expense of exposing myself as a huge nerd (like you didn't already know), we'll be posting one of our favorite, fan-made, Lego: Star Wars, stop motion videos a little later. For now, dive back into the blog archives and enjoy all the amazingly dorky videos, posters, fan art and products we've posted in the past about Star Wars by clicking this link!

Above is our video review of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2.

FLOPerial March

I mean really? Do I have to justify why this video needs to be seen every couple of months? You know, like checking back in with an old friend? Riiiiight. ;)

The true story behind R2D2 [video]

Watch and listen as some Star Wars insiders, who are of the utmost trustworthiness and would never lie to us ever, reveal some of the darker secrets behind one of our beloved blue and white droids. Take a journey back to the beginning of R2D2's career and see how a new generation of fans saw him through darker times... or something. ;)

Star Wars Light Saber Popsicles from ThinkGeek

Even though the bitter sting of ThinkGeek's amazing April Fool's joke is still very fresh. I can't help but hope that the light saber popsicles will come to life, for real, like the iCade eventually did. And to add insult to injury, keep your eyes peeled for all the other delicious frozen treats that death truck has! Mmmm, TIE Biters... nerdy, brain freezy heaven.

Lastly, for the Jedi love of your life...

A full set of uber nerdy, PRINTABLE, last minute Valentine's day cards... in true Star Wars fashion. Check the rest out here! It would be a good idea to just copy and paste a link to me if you haven't gotten me anything... and if you're too chicken to, there's always an anonymous post on tumblr expressing your undying love?! ;)

Star Wars X LEGO chess set

How is this not going to turn into a I can move it using THE FORCE match? This is hands down the coolest thing and I can't imagine LEGO not buying this kid's designs. I'll let Brandon Griffith's pics speak for themselves.

The gem of last night's ad throw down.

This Flickr set is bananas. Run to it. Hurry up and click. There's genius afoot! I would not lead you astray. ;)

Speaking of space...

There was a partial solar eclipse last month and though experts have ruled out any fishy activity by assuring us all that the shadows captured in the image are merely of a space station, I still have a bad feeling about this. I mean, HOW IS THAT NOT THE IMAGE OF A TIE FIGHTER HEADING RIGHT TOWARDS US?!?! HAVE YOU ALL GONE MAD?!?! HOW DO YOU NOT SEE WE ARE ABOUT A MONTH AWAY FROM A FULL SCALE EMPIRICAL ATTACK?!?! 

...there's probably like 8 star destroyers right behind that TIE. All hope is lost.

The 100 Best Movie Spaceships of All Time!

#9 - Serenity from Firefly/Serenity

I love spaceships. I love SPACE! But this is about spaceships, which I love, so let's try to stay on course, okay?! Get it together, readers! Geez! Kidding, I'm feeling a little playful today. GET OFF MY CASE! Kidding. Omg, I'll get to the point right now, I promise. This is THE list of 100 best movie spaceships. Though I lean pretty hard towards the ships in Star Wars, which populate the list pretty heavily, I'm really happy Serenity is so high up on the list.

#18 - The X-Wing from Star Wars

TIE Fighters didn't make the list. I'm kinda bummed but it's not the end of the world. You should probably call me tomorrow to see if I'm okay though. Kidding. OMG SPACESHIPS! You know what else is cool? The Jetsons made it on the list and I think that's pretty cool. Here is a picture of it.

#13 - The Jetsons' Family Vehicle from The Jetsons

I'm not sure there's really a point to this post except that we're bro-ing out about spaceships so... here's another one from one of my favorite movies. Oh! and you need the link to the whole list. Guess who's #1! Comment with your guesses before you go and check the list okay?!

#11 - The Heart of Gold from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Endor Mission DLC for Star Wars:TFU2 [Today?!]

Looks like Starkiller is off to another classic film location for the first DLC level to be announced for The Force Unleashed 2. No word on where other missions may take him but one thing is for sure, we're going to Endor. The bonus levels continue to ask the question, "What if the Empire would have won?" I'm so stoked! I'm so geeking out! Supposedly it's out TODAY! Check out the Endor mission trailer below and be sure to check out AVideoMagazine's review of The Force Unleashed 2.

A 'One AT-AT' Kind of Town

Click here to see an amazing digital painting of a classic American landscape with an AT-AT from Star Wars painted in. It's got a very 'one horse town' vibe to it. Some good ol' off the grid living with your trusty AT-AT tied up out back. ANYWAY, the copyright is kind of tight on flickr so I'm not allowed to post it here but it's pretty amazing I promise! Click through! Thanks for playing!

Here's a consolation prize for those of you too lazy too click through to flickr. My crappy representation of the awesomeness at the other end of the link above.

P.s. I tried to make up for the horrible, giant, mechanical dairy cow AT-AT by drawing a super sweet TIE fighter... but I forgot to add the super sweetness. -hangs head- :(

Star Wars Fights on Pay-Per-View?!

I simply can't be the only one. ;) Check out the rest of the posters here. They're pretty sweet. Christmas IS coming up you know. *hintX2

LEGO® STAR WARS™: BOMBAD BOUNTY

I though it was so cool how they made it seem this was all taking place just a bit off camera while our favorite scenes were playing BUT watching this video marks the first time I've ever rooted for Boba Fett. Death to Jar Jar.

Star Wars Sandwich Cutters!!!
