Even Mutants can't beat the Sith...




This just in...

"X-Men: The Last Stand" took in almost $45 million on Friday and landed in the history books. It is now the second highest opener of all time, right behind "Star Wars: Attack of the Sith."

A good joint to read




To get a real background on what Lucas is doing, one should check out Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces. And if one follow's Campbell's script, one would see how Lucas used the same format as in any other myth. The Crisis, the hero, the journey, the near death experience, the resurrection, redemption, and triumph. THe same happens here. Lucas flips it however and gives us a story then gives us the background.

Billie Wheelz and I discuss myths in every conversation we have. we discuss the significance, relevancy, and the reproduction of it. Let's admit it, Lucas has created a genuine American myth based on other stories. We can't front, that's dope. I would prefer he put it on paper first but oh well.

My man Pharoan let me watch this joint: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth. Its now on DvD. It's very academic but mad jewels on it. So if you can fathom reading Campbell's 600 page tome, this is good too.

I know we have brought this up before, but its interesting to look at it from that perspective...

The Legacy series (Darkhorse comics) and the endless possibilities...


Amadeo kept bringing something up that we actually did not know about: The Legacy series from Darkhorse Comics. It takes place 100 years after the events of the New Jedi Order series. We are introduced to Cade Skywalker, a descendant of the Skywalker clan. Dark Horse is being hush hush about it. Of course, we have a peek here...

I started a short story on a Jedi but it takes place in the pre Clone War era (matter of fact, right at the Genosian arena in Ep II). I never thought of going past the NJO. but i think this is dope.
enjoy and please leave comments.

Been a long time... we are still here

I know it has been a while. We apologize once again. everything we promise is in the works. On that note here are some updates...

Is it me? Or is George Lucas a money starved cat? (then again, i always knew this...)

This September: Original Unaltered Trilogy on DVD. Yes, yes ya'll. The original unaltered joint on DVD so we can spend even more money. To be quite honest, one can tell what was altered from the original when one watches the updated versions. I guess these won't really be collector's items. But here is the article...

Video games.. killing it...

Two more video games will be released. I know, we don't review video games on here. Sorry about that. Even though i own a few SW games, I am not a big gaming buff. Here is the trailer for Star Wars Empire At War: Forces of Corruption . Basically, it focuses on the underground smuggling network that we often hear about. LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is just like the other LEGO's game but with the Original Trilogy...

Ill interview...

Rick McCallum , producer for the second Trilogy, has a nice interview right here. He states that the animated series will come first and then followed by the live action one.

Clone war chick...

Karen Traviss Interview here...

I hope you enjoy these treats....
