Family Guy ‘Empire Strikes Back’ Parody Trailer

13 November 2009 2:01 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

To round off this Friday nice and easy, I thought I’d post a little something to get you laughing (or hopefully at least chuckling). Family Guy has become a household name at this point, but the show managed to out do itself back in 2007 with its season 6 premiere, “Blue Harvest”, an hour-long parody of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Well, today we have the trailer for Family Guy’s follow up to “Blue Harvest”, which could only be an equally hilarious skewering of the next film in the Star Wars canon, The Empire Strikes Back.

 

With “Blue Harvest” the Family Guy team lampooned pretty much everything you could ever want to make fun of in a Star Wars movie, and earned extra points for inserting all our favorite characters from Quahog into ironic (and gross) Star Wars roles. [Nerd Alert] “Blue Harvest” was the fake working title used during »

Cartoon Network lets Clone Wars fans design online games

12 November 2009 7:02 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

If there aren't already enough Star Wars video games for your liking, you can make your own with Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars Game Creator.

With the animated action show continuing to draw big numbers on Friday nights, its home network is serving up a chance for fans to build their own Clone Wars game and share it with other gamers.

According to the network, these game creators aren't a stunt to generate TV show buzz. The Ben 10: Alien Force Game Creator posted more than 630 million game plays since it went live a year ago, with more than 4.6 million games created by online visitors.

Once fans open their game creator, they choose their character (Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex or Cad Bane) and their vehicle (At-te, At-rt or Speeder), allowing nine different combinations of character abilities and vehicle powers.

Merchandise swag: Star Wars Trooper radio alarm clock

10 November 2009 3:36 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

When it comes to movie merchandise, we all have to bow down at worship at the feet of George Lucas. The bearded film producer/ writer/ director/ blah blah blah revolutionised the licensing of film tie-in goodies with his space saga, Star Wars and the film franchise continues to deliver incredibly innovative and fun treasures. And we just love this radio alarm clock modelled after a trooper figure from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is certain to add some sci-fi chic to your early morning routine. What better way to get yourself out of bed on those dark and cold winter mornings? »

New Clone Wars episodes stunning, but less kid friendly

7 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars just might be the best action/adventure show on television. Come to think of it, it might be the only true action/adventure show on television.

But, as the show ramps up the action content and significantly sweetens its visuals, its increased intensity might be driving away some younger viewers.

As The Clone Wars moves through its second season, the war is growing -- both in scope and violence. Viewers are seeing more dead Clonetroopers, more crashed vehicles and more beloved characters in deadly jeopardy.

Its ratings continue to cruise in hyperspace (especially for males), but I wonder if the darker tones of season two could drive younger kids and their parents away from the show.

This Week on DVD: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Food Inc.

3 November 2009 1:59 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

The biggest DVD and Blu-ray release for this week is probably G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It pains me to know that this week some brave souls will give it another chance, while others will discover its sheer idiocy for the first time. If you're looking for something slightly better but still mediocre, you might try Tony Scott's remake of The Taking of Pelham 123. Other smaller releases for the week include Dolph Lundgren's direct-to-dvd action flick Command Performance, the Spanish post-apocalyptic flick Before The Fall, and the G.I. Joe Resolute animated microseries. Also keep an eye out for a few noteworthy documentaries this week including Food Inc., The English Surgeon, and the John Hughes doc Don't You Forget About Me (in Canada only). Plus: James Bond and Rocky collections on Blu-ray, and the only partially redundant Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut! Will you be picking anything up this week? »

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 Episode 5, The Landing at Point Rain - Wtf?!

3 November 2009 5:17 AM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

I just checked IMDb, and noticed that "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" has a rating of 5.4/10. Wtf?! Really? Okay, admittedly, after the first few episodes of Season 1, I wrote The Clone Wars off as a cheezy way to patch up the mistakes of the first three movies (which were really the last three, but you get my point). However, a few months later I was channel surfing and discovered that the show I once shunned, had grown up. The slapstick Yoda jokes and Storm Trooper humor became secondary to a larger, more dark, adult themed show. The animation alone was a step above anything I'd seen on TV before, especially in an ongoing, serialized show. “Internally, we just keep getting better and better,” says Dave Filoni, supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. “There’s no way we could have done something like this in the first season. ... »

New Star Wars Trilogy Coming in 3D?

22 October 2009 9:34 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

So a rumor recently popped up online stating that there’s a new Star Wars Trilogy in the pipeline that is going to be filmed in stereoscopic 3D. The rumor originated from Market Saw, who attributed the news to a source close to the Lucasfilm camp who was feeding them this exclusive info. This new 3D Star Wars would Not be a conversion of the existing trilogy (or those prequels we do not speak of), but rather an entirely new three-part chapter in the Star Wars canon!

Another part of the rumor was that George Lucas would Not be directing this new trilogy, but would instead produce them, handing the helming duties off to more able other seasoned directors, such as Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola, who are both friends of Lucas.

Sci-fi fans, are your heads still attached to your necks?

New 3-D Star Wars Trilogy on the Horizon?

22 October 2009 8:18 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

File this one in the "We'll Believe It When We See It" category, but MarketSaw is saying an "absolutely connected," "trusted source" has let slip that, in addition to re-releasing the entire 6-part Star Wars trilogy in 3-D, George Lucas is planning on creating a new trilogy of Star Wars movies, filmed entirely in 3-D.

The article goes on to claim that Lucas is only interested in producing the trilogy, not directing, and that he may tap his friend Steven Spielberg, or perhaps Francis Ford Coppola, to helm one or all of the films.

Again, we'll believe it when we see it.

Rumor of a New 3D Star Wars Trilogy Doesn’t Hold Up to Scrutiny, Common Sense

21 October 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

I didn’t think that people really cared about “Star Wars” anymore but apparently a big enough rumor regarding new “Star Wars” movies can send people into a frenzy for all of 30 seconds before they stop and say, “That makes no fucking sense.”  But such is the way of the Internet and its just good that movie websites have developed relationships with people who can swat down these ridiculous rumors before you can send out the link to everyone you know and make yourself look like a total idiot.

Hit the jump to read the fake news regarding a new trilogy of 3D, non-Lucas-directed “Star Wars” movies followed by real news explaining why that rumor is just sad wishful thinking.

MarketSaw spoke with a source who told them that there would be a new trilogy of “Star Wars” movies.  These movies would be in stereoscopic 3D.  George Lucas »

Josh Duhamel, Jamie Kennedy Add Voice Talent To Nickelodeon's "Fanboy And Chum Chum"

19 October 2009 6:51 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Nickelodeon has their fair share of characters with super powers, and even the fairly odd. But Nick's latest caped twosome are actually more "super fans" than superheroes. "Fanboy & Chum Chum," which premieres on Nickelodeon November 6th, doesn't star two superheroes but it does feature some superstar voice talents. Among them are "Ghost Whisperer" star Jamie Kennedy and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" star Josh Duhamel.

Fanboy and Chum Chum are obsessed with all things fantasy and comic books. Armed with their super imaginations, the pair don their tights and then their underwear on top of that before heading out on their daily adventures. In the first episode, Fanboy and Chum Chum welcome wizard school-expellee Kyle, voiced by Kennedy, into their circle.

The CGI-animated show, based on "Random! Cartoons" short "Fanboy," was created by Eric Robles and is produced by Frederator Studios, who also produces "The Fairly OddParents" for the network. »
