Movies Section Updated

Today I have updated the Movies Section with a new Fan Film entitled Ryan vs. Dorkman. Tomorrow marks the release of Ryan vs. Dorkman 2, so I thought it would be fitting to offer the film that sparked a sequel.

Ryan vs. Dorkman (often abbreviated by fans as RvD) was first released to the internet on March 1, 2003. There is no story. It is all pure lightsaber action! It features good and evil in an industrial setting, with some lightsaber moves that had not been attempted until that time. You can visit their website for more information. Enjoy!

Star Wars Legacy of the Force-Exile

Star Wars Legacy of the Force-Exile.jpg (53908 bytes)Evil is on the move as the Galactic Alliance and Jedi order battle forces seen and unseen, from rampant internal treachery to the nightmare of all-out war. With each victory against the Corellian rebels, Jacen Solo becomes more admired, more powerful, and more certain of achieving galactic peace. But that peace may come with a price. Despite strained relationships caused by opposing sympathies in the war, Han and Leia Solo and Luke and Mara Skywalker remain united by one frightening suspicion: someone insidious is manipulating this war, and if he or she isn't stopped, all efforts at reconciliation may be for naught. And as sinister visions lead Luke to believe that the source of the evil is none other than Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith, the greatest peril revolves around Jacen himself.

Out in paperback this week in the fourth installment of the Legacy of the Force series from Del Rey Books. The Official Star Wars Site has an interview with Aaron Allston who wrote the book. Be sure to check it out!

Star Wars TV Series Update

Could Boba Fett and Chewbacca be in the upcoming live action Star Wars television series? The answer is possibly. IGN.com has an interview with Peter Mayhew and Daniel Logan from the 2007 Comic-Con. As for the forthcoming live action Star Wars television show, both Mayhew and Logan would love to be involved. Logan has a meeting with Rick McCallum next week and seems eager to reprise the role. Mayhew, the sage, simply smiled and said "I think he (Chewbacca) is going to be there. He needs to be there. It's all in the lap of the gods." Be sure to read the entire article for more from these actors.

The Force Unleashed Graphic Novel

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that the Star Wars saga continues this fall in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, an original graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics based on the video game developed by LucasArts.

The Force Unleashed Graphic Novel.jpg (137642 bytes)New revelations about the Star Wars galaxy will be unveiled in a detailed graphic novel that fleshes out the story behind the game, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice." The story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, the Secret Apprentice -- whose role players assume in the video game -- assists the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi. But in carrying out Vader's will, the Apprentice is faced with decisions that could change the course of the galaxy.

In addition to new adversaries, including fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, The Force Unleashed also includes familiar faces from the films of the Star Wars Saga, including Darth Vader. The Force Unleashed recasts the scope and scale of the Force in a way that fans have never seen or experienced.

"One of the most exciting things about writing The Force Unleashed for different media is that you're able to approach the same story from different angles," said Haden Blackman, writer for both the graphic novel and videogame versions of The Force Unleashed, as well as project lead for the title at LucasArts. "We can explore the same plot points from a different character's eyes, for example, or include story moments in one version that you won't find in the other. Fans will definitely want to check out both the graphic novel and the game for an even greater appreciation of everything that happens."
