Glad to hear about the lawsuit filed against Sega/Gearbox for false advertising over their 'Colonial Marines' game. If you don't know the story...

..."it seems" to me at least that they fabricated amazing looking custom videos of the game to show at press events. These were labelled clearly as "gameplay demos" (They then embargoed all reviews of the game) but when people went to buy on the day of release, it was a different utterly sh*tty game. As detailed here...

Hense the lawsuit. I was wondering if such a case could be filed against George Lucas for 'The Phantom Menace' Trailer. As it features; different and convincing vocal performance throughout not in the film / alternate and superior sound FX / multiple pieces of amazing music not in the film / omits Jake Lloyd's lackluster performance entirely / and grossly misrepresents Jar-Jar's character by only usinng one of his lines and probably his least annoying one at that.

^ Still want to see that movie

Tongue slightly in-cheek with this one. But still worth discussing. IMDB lists it as making £200 million on opening weekend so that's a big lawsuit ;-)

This has got to be the freakiest take on "Unmasked Vader" I've ever seen.

The possibility that we are going to OD on Star Wars:

The Star Wars storyline might expand even more: ABC is mulling TV shows based on characters from the classic sci-fi franchise. According to Reuters, executives from the network are in talks with George Lucas' Lucasfilm studio to bring in new TV shows from the Star Wars universe. "We've started conversations with them," Paul Lee, president of the ABC Entertainment Group, told TV critics yesterday. "I have an inkling in my mind, but they have a lot on their plate."

Since Lucas has been developing a live action show for a while, it's not surprising. I think any new live action shows ought to wait until after Episode 7 is out though.

I wanna see a sitcom revolving around Threepio and Artoo bickering all the time.

The 1985 Droids animated series came pretty close to that. ;)

Droids was alot of fun yes. 'Mungo Baobab' was one of the best EU characters.

Just picked up OT Trivial Pursuit for $2. It's from 1998, they call it "Classic Trilogy."

I'm digging that new trailer. And yeah I always got a kick out of how the earliest concept art for Luke looked like George. =P

That looks awesome. Rinzler is a guest at the London Film and Comic Con in October.
