A long time ago, in a galaxy far away … full of cats that talk in English. Sort of.
What do you get when you mix Star Wars, cats, and a few midichlorians? Maybe something like this. Check out the rest of the Lolcats in the classic battle between the Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat sides of the Force!

Irony of ironies: “77″ is still an unfinished project, yes, but this film whose trailer won an award in 2006 now has an honest, comprehensive film review. Thanks to Ian, who sent me this heads up:
Those who have spent the last three or four years following the parallel production nightmares of Fanboys and 5-25-77 would be excused for assuming that all films involving teenagers and early cuts of Star Wars films are cursed… you might be right- but 77 is finally here.
At the Spout blog, the whole backstory is given on the production of “77″ and its premise, which definitely seems catchy film material. In summary: “It’s a mess. But it’s kind of a fascinating mess.” Pretty much the finished parts are great and the unfinished parts are a little raw, but has potential. Definitely a good read, so head on over and get your fan film fix.

Going to college is such an eye-opening experience. You get to expand your horizons and learn about other cultures, for one thing. Can it get more awesome? Imagine this: you can pursue your education, have a great college experience, and get your Star Wars fix at the same time! Did I mention the class is at Lake Tahoe, the World Capital of Awesome?
You’re right. I should have told you to sit down first. Sorry about that.
So I got an email from Professor Daryl Frazetti of Lake Tahoe Community College’s Department of Anthropology detailing the new online course. He was known for his Star Trek themed course in the past, but I’m glad he’s forsaken the Dark Side and gone with a Star Wars theme. For the past two years, he’s been presenting workshops and panels at conventions regarding the Anthropology of Star Wars.
Here is some more info on the new course:
Now, we finally will be offering a course online – 1.5 units – The Anthropology of Star Wars. It is basically a cultural anthropology course with a Star Wars theme. It will cover such themes as politics, religion, gender, and more. It will also explore fandom as well as a focus on fan films. Registration begins in November and the class begins early January 2009.
Sounds very exciting, so all you students young and old head on over to LTCC.edu to register! Be a Starwars-ologist!
What’s worse: an out-of-control Apple fan, or an out-of-control Star Wars fan? How about both? As one person? Fighting against himself? You decide:
