This trailer re-imagines ‘Star Wars’ with a green-skinned Han Solo and a female lead

In a parallel universe, in a galaxy far, far away, Han Solo is green-skinned with gills, Stormtroopers brand lightsabers, and the main character is a heroic young girl named Luka Starkiller.

Mark Hamill and Stephen Colbert bless us with Luke Skywalker’s ‘lost’ Cantina scene

TwitterFacebook

Ever wondered what Luke Skywalker was up to between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens? Well, Mark Hamill and noted Star Wars superfan Stephen Colbert have the answer: He was trying to get into a bar.

A really delightful sketch from Friday’s Late Show features Hamill as a middle-aged Luke and Colbert as a condescending Cantina maître d’. Unfortunately, Luke’s galaxy-saving reputation has not preceded him to the bar, and he can’t convince Colbert to let him in. 

Dad jokes — including several about the franchise’s absolutely bonkers names for characters — ensue. And the whole thing culminates in Colbert singing the Cantina band song, which is just lovely. Powers that be, please cast him in a future movie. Read more…

LOS ANGELES — Breathe. Just breathe. 

On Saturday night, the wait will finally be over — at least for the hundreds of guests (including your humble scribe) gathered at the Shrine Auditorium in Downtown L.A. for the world premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. 

After that, I will enter Star Wars reviewer exile, unable to publish anything beyond vague tweet-length impressions of the movie until the review embargo lifts next week — at a time that has already got us making a galaxy-shaking prediction. So this moment is my last chance to put any educated guesses at the movie’s content on the record. Read more…

Star Wars fans, Last Jedi director Rian Johnson has heard what you want as the subject of his upcoming trilogy of Star Wars movies. And he’s not buying it.
He’s sympathetic. He loves the subject in question. But alas, that is definitively not what he…

The Last Jedi is only two weeks away, so you’ll definitely want a Porg—the latest critter to join the Star Wars universe—to add to your premiere party. Why not pick one up now for less than $30?

This plush-like Porg waddles around on its own and makes chittering sound like the ones you’ll probably hear in the movie. It even waves and flaps about like a penguin, which I guess is what it is. A space penguin?

Normally $40, you can save $12.80 on an electronic Porg today. Read more…

‘The Last Jedi’ box office will fall well below ‘The Force Awakens,’ and that’s OK

Breeeeeathe.
The Last Jedi isn’t going to set off the same spectacular, world record-shattering box office fireworks that we saw with The Force Awakens. It will fall well short.
Just breathe. This is not a Justice League-level panic situation.
SEE AL…

How littleBits grew from side project to Star Wars

 Like many of the most compelling startups, littleBits began life as a side-hustle — no expectations, no early push for venture capital. Just a bit of tinkering to pass the time. Ayah Bdeir was a recent MIT grad with a fellowship at New York City architecture design firm I-Beam when the seeds of the company first sprouted. Read More
