May the Fourth Be With You!

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that as Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith continues to thrill Star Wars fans and break box office records around the world, the Fourth will be with U.S. movie goers from July 1-4, 2005. This weekend only, when you buy three tickets to see Episode III, ticket buyers will get a fourth ticket for free at participating theaters. I probably won't get to use this deal, but I am hoping I will get to the theater again this weekend!

Darth Tom Cruise Kills Oprah

My wife found this link and I thought it was really funny. It's from the Oprah show where Tom Cruise was talking so fanatically about scientology and acting really strange. I think you will get a kick out of this short clip. Be sure to view it! You will need the QuickTime player installed.

Saga Review

LeviathanFalls sends in word of a Saga review by Ryan McBain of "The Flow Check." "I thought you might find this article rather interesting. This guy writes about current events, and in his archives he talks about the Star Wars prequels." Ryan said it all pretty well and many of you may feel the same way about the Star Wars Saga. If you would like to see what Ryan said, you can read the full article. Thanks LeviathanFalls for the submission.

Box Office Mojo has reported that Revenge of the Sith's weekend gross has helped it successfully reach the top 10 highest grossing films of all time! ROTS has now beaten strong films such as LOTR The Two Towers, and Jurassic Park. The film is slowly but surely marching towards the lofty goal of 400 million. Can it make it? You can help!

Best Video Games For May

IGN Xbox has reported on the top sellers for consoles for May and Star Wars has done well. The best-selling console titles for May represent all important interest groups, whether galactic, athletic, mythic, or fantastic. LucasArts takes the double crown for the month, with Episode III dominating on two platforms. Microsoft's Forza is no slouch at Number 3 though, even if it didn't quite speed past the Force of a franchise.

Here are the top sellers, by units sold, courtesy The NPD Group:

1. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (PS2) LucasArts

2. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Xbox) LucasArts

3. Forza Motorsport (Xbox) Microsoft

4. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (PS2) Take 2 Interactive

5. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game (PS2) Eidos Interactive

6. God of War (PS2) Sony

7. MVP Baseball 2005 (PS2) Electronic Arts

8. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (Xbox) Take 2 Interactive

9. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game (Xbox) Eidos Interactive

10. Area 51 (Xbox) Midway

I have provided just the top ten in this report. Lets keep Star Wars in the top 10 as new games start to roll out this fall.
