I've Got A Good Feeling About This: Disney Buys LucasFilm, Expect Ep. VII In 2015
There was a prophecy that one would come and bring balance to the Force…and it’s the Mouse House?? Yup, this is straight from the source and you’re not dreaming. Disney has really bought Lucasfilm. Wow, still having trouble believing what I’m writing. To the tune of 4 billion dollars Disney, as well as Kathleen Kennedy, will now be in creative control of the characters from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Here’s the statement from Lucas: “For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see ‘Star Wars’ passed from one generation to the next. It’s now time for me to pass ‘Star Wars’ on…

G-S-T Quick 5 – Things I Never Understood About 'Star Wars'
For the umpteenth time Star Wars has be re-released to the masses but for the first time ever it is available on Blu Ray…well sort of. In the SW universe there’s a fan base that has an absolute split contention about as polar as the Dark and Light side of the Force.

G-S-T Top 10 – Scenes I Could Watch Over and Over and Over (Part II)
Since I had so much fun with our last post about a number of scenes I could watch on never ending repeat, her are 10 more I find equally pleasing.

In other cases, a specific scene I wanted was just nowhere to be found or if it was has been edited by some dope which ultimately diminishes the integrity of the clip and the point I was trying to make. Anyway, here they are…Enjoy!

May the 4th Be With You…
Hello World, Marc Here: As you probably already know today is May the 4th which leads Star Wars fans to effortlessly (and endlessly) utter “May the 4th Be With You” to everyone they meet. Hey, guilty as charged. Now while I would just love to get neck deep in a raving love letter to the SW universe (sans the prequels of course), I simply cannot. Not that I don’t love the happenings from “A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away“, no, I just don’t have the time or the energy to do so:P That said, on this hallowed day of geeky badassery, I’ll simply refer you to some…
