Negative, it didn't go in. It just impacted on the surface...

I never got to make the trench run!

Supposedly Lucasfilm plus Cameron’s company are promising the conversions of their respective movies are the best conversions ever done

The special effects are computerized. One would think that conversion could thus be done perfectly if the money is spent. Not so much the real scenes.

Lucasfilm registers ‘Star Wars: Identities’ domains; Is a film or series in the works?

his week, Lucasfilm registered a handful of domain names hinting at something new on the way for the Star Wars franchise called ‘Star Wars: Identities’.

Three domain names were registered on November 7th through Corporation Service Company, a brand protection service: StarWarsIdentities.com, StarWarsIdentites.com (typo) and sw-id.com.

No information has been released on ‘Star Wars: Identities’ by Lucasfilm as of yet.

Star Wars: Identities Revealed

Last week, we wondered just what the hell Lucasfilm's Star Wars: Identities could possibly be. I would have bet money a few days ago that it was another Matthew Stover Expanded Universe novel, but it turns out that Identities is actually something entirely different.

After registering three domain names for the project, Lucasfilm announced that Star Wars: Identities is a new interactive museum exhibit at the Montreal Science Centre. Focusing on the character developments of Anakin and Luke Skywalker, the exhibit will utilize material from the Lucasfilm archives to explore a scientific approach to the concept of identity.

I had no idea there was a 442nd. I didn't read the Order 66 novel is why I guess. Interesting since yesterday was Dec 7th and the 442 was a pretty famous Japanese-American fighting force in WWII.

Some Guy Starts Lightsaber Assault At Toys R Us

33-year old (young?) David Allen Canterbury was arrested Wednesday night after somebody called 911 because he was swinging two blue lightsabers at customers in an Oregon Toys R Us. Wait...you can get arrested for that? Been there, done that, thought the worst that could happen would be getting asked to leave, amirite?!

Officers tried to arrest Canterbury, but he kept swinging the lightsabers at them, Simpson said. One officer tried to use his Taser but the device didn't work.


Another officer used his Taser, but Canterbury knocked one of the wires away with a lightsaber.

According to the new, untested AICN source, Underworld will involve “a group of bandits acquiring the capability of time travel, and using it to travel back in time to stop Darth Vader from ever existing.”
