For all the Star Wars fans out there, a remix of Empire State of Mind originally by Jay Z and Alicia Keys, redone by the people over at College Humour (is Princess Leia hot or what?):

So last night I was trying to show a friend who Admiral Ackbar is, and while searching for images on my iPhone I came across this:
For those who don’t get the reference, here’s the classic scene from Return of the Jedi:

Wow. What an ending. First, I have to say that I got it wrong on my pre-finale LOST thoughts. I made the mistake of thinking about the finale in terms of the mythology – about who will die for who, who will sacrifice for who and how the Man In Black will eventually meet his demise. [...]

This excerpt is taken from the book “Revelation”, a Star Wars book written by Karen Traviss.
No real context necessary, just know that Admiral Daala is talking to Boba Fett:

Armed with that much “knowledge” [...]

The girlfriend and I caught an exclusive movie preview of Fanboys a few weeks ago thanks to Golden Village, and as a Star Wars fanboy, I had a blast.
Let me start by mentioning that out of the eight bookshelves at home, three are dedicated to Star Wars, and as of this moment, I have 11 [...]

After finishing reading A Clash Of Kings by George R. R. Martin, I was in the mood for some good fantasy and so I crowdsourced for recommendations. Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy appeared too many times to be ignored, so I hopped on to Amazon.ca and gave it a go.
When I got the book, two things [...]

You might recall from my review of “Zack And Miri Make A Porno“ that I am quite the fan of Kevin Smith, genius behind “Clerks“, “Dogma“, and “Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back” among others. In many ways, Clerks was the original “Harold And Kumar” to me, so it was interesting to see if Clerks [...]
