We now have a title!

Last week I had the luxury of being able to attend a few days of the Star Wars Celebration VI convention in Orlando, Florida.

It was only a matter of time before FX guru and Star Wars creator George Lucas jumped on the 3D bandwagon. This past Friday, Episode I: The Phantom Menace made its arrival in theaters.

Today as part of Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm finally spilled the beans on the details on the upcoming Star Wars Blu-ray box sets. While I don’t think they’ve told us everything, there is still a lot to be excited about. They will now be in 6.1 DTS Surround Sound and there’s over forty hours of […]

If you enjoyed the first two Family Guy Star Wars spoofs (Blue Harvest and Something Something Dark Side) like me, then you will probably enjoy the final installment in the saga, It’s a Trap!
