#8220;The concept is simple: recreate a vehicle from Star Wars in steampunk style.#8221;
Interestingly enough, a winner has been announced in the classic #8220;Steam-Wars Contest#8221; over at the FBTB (From Bricks to Bothans) forums. You know we here at JediNet can#8217;t resist a story if there#8217;s Star Wars, Legos, and steampunk involved. Congrats [...]img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jedinet/~4/503980193″ height=”1″ width=”1″/

Old Republic: the “Ultimate Star Wars Game”
Star Wars: The Old Republic is looking very good, as a newly released documentary shows. Check out the in-game footage and listen to some of the philosophy that went into the game#8217;s development. It is the fabled KOTOR successor, to be sure, and a MMORPG in a sense. However, it is taking a little departure [...]img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jedinet/~4/483314714″ height=”1″ width=”1″/

The Day the Photo Book Closed

Alas, today I ran across unexpected and unfortunate news: Michael Heilemann#8217;s Star Wars collection on Flickr was shut down due to a takedown notice from Lucasfilm. Sad. Lucasfilm has traditionally been fan friendly with things like this. I can#8217;t imagine the rationale behind this, and Michael makes a good [...]img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jedinet/~4/472880372″ height=”1″ width=”1″/

Youtube, A Cappella, and John Williams
Summary: a video podcast interviews an internet video star about his lip syncing to music by another band who used someone else#8217;s music to make a tribute to someone else#8217;s movie.

The latest webisode of Amber MacArthur#8217;s commandN featured an interview of Youtube#8217;s Corey Vidal. His list of contributions to the online video [...]img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jedinet/~4/462381699″ height=”1″ width=”1″/

Star Wars Lolcats
more animals
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away #8230; full of cats that talk in English. Sort of.
What do you get when you mix Star Wars, cats, and a few midichlorians? Maybe something like this. Check out the rest of the Lolcats in the classic battle between the Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat [...]img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Jedinet/~4/438700338″ height=”1″ width=”1″/

Irony of ironies: “77″ is still an unfinished project, yes, but this film whose trailer won an award in 2006 now has an honest, comprehensive film review. Thanks to Ian, who sent me this heads up:
Those who have spent the last three or four years following the parallel production nightmares of Fanboys [...]
