Snatch Wars

Snatch Wars (Snatch vs. Star Wars) (SLYT, NSFW due to very bad language). The boring description: Darth Vader re-dubbed with dialogue from Bricktop, the main antagonist of Guy Ritchie's movie 'Snatch'.

I have a bad feeling about this

"Wookiees and Bea Arthur? Luke Skywalker and Harvey Korman? Singing and dancing and storm troopers? If George Lucas had his way, no one would remember, but yes, Virginia, there was a Star Wars Holiday Special."

Indeed there was (Google video). [Holiday Special previously on metafilter: 1, 2] Bonus Star Wars audition footage below the fold. Carrie Fisher's audition for the role of Leia. Mark Hamill's audition for the role of Luke. Kurt Russell's audition for the role of Han Solo. Cindy Williams' (!) audition for the role of Leia. Robby Benson's (!!) audition for the role of Luke. Andrew Stevens' (!!!) audition for the role of Luke. (How different would his career have been? Would we have had this great cinematic achievement?) Plus, from SNL, Kevin Spacey as Christopher Walken auditioning for the role of Han Solo.

OldBenFilter: What if Obi-Wan went Sith

Star Wars Battlefront III: a preview of a recently canceled game that apparently had plans to turn our good ol' ghost-ey friend Old Ben Kenobi into a Dark Jedi. The original developer for the game went under a few months ago, but alpha footage leaked about a day ago. Towards the end of the video you can hear a Sith (or a hoodless Palpatine) utter "Stick to the plan Kenobi." Just today, a picture leaked from Free Radical showing the character models. If only development could have continued.

A lot of thought.

Star Wars Technical Commentaries. Learn about the Endor Holocaust. [previously] Learn why it's not really called a "Super Star Destroyer," and why it's not actually five miles long. You can even learn what all those little pips and cylinders mean! It is a body of work analyzing Star Wars as if it existed in the real universe, trying to find ways to explain everything so as to be both self-consistent, and consistent with science. I honestly can't believe it hasn't been on the blue before....

But don't talk back to Darth Vader! He'll get ya!

Star Wars according to a 3 year old.

"Look out! It's the evil Lord Vader!"

Kevin Smith reviews Revenge of the Sith [BIG spoilers] and goes head over heels for it, saying it rights all the wrongs of the previous two movies. We all know Smith is a diehard Star Wars fan who was just as disappointed by the prequels as the rest of us - viz his recent conversation with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright for Empire magazine. But do we still trust him after Jersey Girl?

Star Wars Chick. Not to be confused with the star wars kid. Besides, Star Wars Chick looks much better in her handmade Slave Leia Cosutme [ via memepool ]

Obscure Star Wars Inspirations. Sometimes weak, sometimes spot-on, this site takes a fairly in depth look behind George Lucas' trilogy +1. Everything old is new again.
