Darth Vader Burger of the Day: Starting in February, French fast food burger chain Quick will offer two Star Wars-themed burgers, a “Jedi Burger” and a “Dark Vador Burger” (which has a pitch-black bun). Customers will decide which of these two burgers is really the ultimate power in the universe. Of course, the question that still remains is … what the heck is on top of the patty in that Jedi Burger? Garlic? Marshmallows? Yoda meat? Only the wise burgermasters at Quick know for sure. * “I find your lack of mayo disturbing.” * “Ronald McDonald has taught you well.” * “The onions are strong with this one.” * “You cannot hide forever, Burger King.” * “Only your hunger can destroy me.” * “We're out of ketchup? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”
Although it was just last week that George Lucas promised during a Daily Show interview thatRed Tails is just the first part of a proposed trilogy, Lucas has already gone back and tweaked his original comments, correcting the tone and inserting new dialogue that puts Spike Lee or Lee Daniels in charge of any potential follow-ups, and which suggests that Lucas is leaving behind big-budget filmmaking. Lucas unveiled the Special Edition of his future in this New York Times interview, in which he laments the difficulties of getting Red Tails financed, then concludes, “I’m retiring. I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff.” Aside from a possible fifth Indiana Jones movie, which is more or less handled by software these days, Lucas says he plans to follow his friend Francis Ford Coppola’s example and instead focus on making “more personal” films described as “small in scope, esoteric in subject and screened mostly in art houses”—and most importantly, away from jerks who don’t like what he did with Star Wars. “Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?” Lucas grumbles of Star Wars fans, comparing their pleas to stop changing everything about the films they like to the dictatorial demands of the studios, as they both rob him of the important freedom to alter his past work to fit his every passing whim. And not that he has to explain his decisions to them, but still he graciously does—revealing, for example, that he changed it so Greedo shoots Han first because the original scene was “a violation of his own naïve style,” a commitment to moviemaking’s old-fashioned idealism and innocence that Lucas restored by grafting on an animated laser beam. Lucas even dismisses Steven Spielberg’s recent claim that the “nuke the fridge” sequence inIndiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was Spielberg’s idea, saying, “He’s trying to protect me” (that being the sole instance when it appeared Spielberg actually was trying to protect him). In fact, Lucas said he had to go out of his way to convince Spielberg to put it in there by preparing a six-inches-thick “nuking-the-fridge dossier”—one that laid out the 50-50 statistical odds that a human could survive an atom bomb in a lead-lined fridge, and thus scientifically proved that it wasn’t a completely ridiculous, cartoonishly undignified way to start an Indiana Jones movie, because science. Anyway, fortunately Lucas won’t have to explain these sorts of things to you anymore. http://www.avclub.com/articles/you-wont-have-george-lucas-to-kick-around-anymore,67818/
Star Wars fans are some of the most passionate in the world. It's why George Lucas could go from being a hero to science-fiction fans everywhere to one of the most demonized people on the planet following the release of the special editions and prequels. But that's the negative side of freedom. The positive side is the creativity that Star Wars has inspired. Here on Cinema Blend we've posted hundreds if not thousands of cool fan creations based on the series, from the AT-AT made out of bacon to the TIE-fighter window on the International Space Station. But now there's a new video online that is one of the greatest examples of fan appreciation we've ever seen. I am referring to Star Wars Uncut. The premise of the project was to take Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and have fans around the world recreate it in their own unique way, 15 seconds at a time. The project was launched in 2009 and now, three years later, it has been completed and put online. With that I present to you Star Wars Uncut: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Crow...ed-Now-Available-Watch-Online-Free-28959.html

Topher Grace Edited The ‘Star Wars’ Prequels Into One 85-Minute Movie and We Saw It Last month I received a cryptic e-mail inviting me to a private screening of a new Star Wars film edited by Topher Grace — which is funny because I had no idea there was a new Star Wars film in the works, with or without Grace’s involvement. I was told the screening was a secret private event arranged only for friends only and was asked not to talk about it beforehand. The event was held somewhere in the Hollywood area in a a screening room filled with filmmakers, editors, actors, actresses and only a few press friends. I was told I could blog about it afterwards if I wanted, so here goes… gaat verder bij de source http://www.slashfilm.com/topher-grace-edited-star-wars-prequels-85minute-movie/
