When news broke of Harrison Ford’s June 12 injury on the set of Star Wars Episode VII, fans were concerned how the 71 year-old’s injury and subsequent recovery would affect the film’s shoot schedule. Thankfully, a new picture surfaced of the star using an iWalk, an external prosthetic that allows people to more around much more safely and naturally than they would on crutches. It’s part crutch and part prosthetic. If you’ve ever had crutches, you know how much they suck. Nobody wants painful armpit bruises. And have you ever tries going up or down stairs with crutches? Hop-hopping up […]

Lucasfilm Animation will produce the series. “I couldn’t be more excited to explore new corners of the Star Wars universe,” said […]
Following in the grand tradition of such cinematic touchstones as Elektra and X-Men Origins: Wolverine … OK, so that intro doesn’t necessarily work. But we’ve all heard by now that in addition to the new Star Wars trilogy, we’re going to be getting some Star Wars spinoff movies featuring individual characters.

Actually, I’m not too wild about this idea (see previous snarky reference to Elektra and Wolverine), but I’ll just go ahead and […]
Usually the name Star Wars attached to anything will guarantee success. But back in 2008, the animated theatrical release Star Wars: The Clone Wars didn’t exactly receive galactic acceptance.

When the Clone Wars series debuted on Cartoon Network soon after, the skeptics still had to be won over. But now in its fifth season, and about to air its 100th episode this Saturday at 9:30am, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a bona fide hit, […]
