Designing a Death Star Theater

Super-fans Vic Wertz and Lisa Stevens used to run the Official Star Wars Fan Club and even the “Star Wars Insider” magazine. But even though they’re both out of that business now, they still pay homage to their dark lord and master each and every day—thanks to their incredibly impressive and geeky home theater.

“My Ill-Conceived Jr. High Love Letter”

"My Ill-Conceived Jr. High Love Letter" by Patrick Cassels on CollegeHumor

I was going through some of my notes from junior high the other night and came across a love letter I wrote to Jessica King, this really pretty girl who sat two rows in front of me in my 8th-grade U.S. History class. In retrospect, my romantic sentiments could have been better expressed.

Chewie Hands off Lightsaber to NASA « The Official Star Wars Blog

Luke Skywalker’s original Jedi lightsaber makes its way into space (for real) with NASA astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery in October. To commemorate the historic event, Star Wars characters visited the Oakland International Airport where Chewbacca handed the lightsaber over to NASA’s Space Center Houston during a special ceremony on Aug. 28, 2007.


Touring the Battlestar Galactica Set

Entering the flight deck was pretty strange. You think you know what to expect, yet something looks a bit … off. There’s two Viper Mark II ships and a Viper Mark VII and a Raptor; there’s where they work on the ships; there are the tools, the parts. But things just seem a bit small. These sets serve multiple purposes, and via the magic of green screens they can look much larger than they appear in person. This doesn’t mean that you don’t recognize this place immediately, though. In fact, during the panel you could get somewhat distracted when realizing that "holy **** I’m in the Galactica flight deck!"


Landspeeder Discovered in Florida Impound

That’s what you get for leaving your ’speeder in Anchorhead overnight …

Comparing the recent photos of the speeder to the image published on the 1981 racing brochure, it’s doubtful even Luke Skywalker could have kept so much of the original vehicle intact. With the exception of the wrap-around grill, upholstery, Coke branding, and a couple other cosmetic changes, "Coke One" (as it is was originally called) appears relatively well-preserved, awaiting a new home in a collector’s garage or showroom.
