Back in the day, JediNet used to offer a regular newsletter entitled “Tremors in the Force” featuring Star Wars related news and rumors. Alas, the prequel storm has quieted down since those early years, and the need for such a thing isn’t there anymore. Also, the idea of an email newsletter is arguably out of fashion. However, we are now once again prepared to provide Star Wars fans with the latest news and updates. The circle is now complete.

“Tremors” is back.

From W. Dwight Hatfield:

He uttered one of the most iconic phrases in Pop Culture in the Original Star Wars Episode IV as the Storm trooper foiled by Obi Wan Kenobi, who among us hasn’t heard the line “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for”?! Actor, director, composer, Anthony Forrest is the guest on the newest episode of The Wrestling Hotseat hosted on www.myvirtualbc.com and sponsored by www.hirepowered.com

We’ve been featuring screening reviews of Clone Wars, and in that spirit Darth Mojo has published a very honest review. The verdict? It’s not super great, but is more consistent and you’ll find yourself rolling your eyes less. A lot less. It all has to do with your expectations going in to the theater. To quote:

One of the reasons we were let down by each prequel was their failure to meet our expectations: a great movie telling the story of galactic struggle and epic tragedy on a grand, sweeping scale. On the other hand, Clone Wars does not have to shoulder that burden - the epic story, no matter how poorly, has been told. It’s done. Now we’re just filling in blanks with some basic, good guys VS bad guys action in a TV show for tweens, with just enough plot and character interplay to keep the story moving.

Darth Mojo is a 15 year CGI veteran, and he was impressed with the effects and action scenes. This says a lot, coming from a guy who has Battlestar Galactica in his resume (awesome CGI there, btw, DM).
