Oh God, when will it end? 3D Star Wars inevitable, says George Lucas

Generally listening to a film nerd tell you in detail why they disliked a film is about as pleasurable as trying to extract a wisdom tooth. But this critique of The Phantom Menace is different. Why? Because it's correct.

Tesco banishes Jedi dorks

If you're going to list your religion as 'Jedi' on the census form, expect to be persecuted like everyone else, dickhead.

Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

There's a cold hard fact to consider when approaching this animated entry into the Star Wars canon: George Lucas has made far more money from merchandising the franchise than he has from box-office receipts.

$tar War$: An Open Letter To George Lucas

Reviving the Star Wars series and going back to tell the origins of the characters we grew up with may never even have been a good idea in the first place, but it was one hell of a...

TOP 20 ALTERNATIVE STAR WARS MOMENTS: PART 1

Don’t you just hate those bloody list programmes that Channel 4 keep squeezing out? 100 best movies, 100 best albums, 100 best artists – pretty soon we’ll be able to enjoy the Top 100 flavours of crisp, as voted for by rent-a-celebs Paul Ross, Vernon Kaye and Stuart fucking Maconie. Forget all that toss, we all know what the t...
