Party On, Darth

Darth Vader has a blog. It's reassuring to discover that even the Empire's most ruthless despot faces the same day-to-day frustrations as the rest of us: a demanding boss, incompetent co-workers, occasional health problems, the rebellion.... It's nice that he has a little online space where he can vent . "Reach out with your feelings", as Obi-Wan would say. Also check out a funny interview that everyone's favorite Sith Lord gave to fellow blogger Anne Arkham.

The serious geeks should check out Star Wars: Revelations, a 40-minute movie that was produced completely by a group of fans. (Well, the serious geeks probably downloaded it the first day). As fan films go, it's got pretty sophisticated production values -- good CGI, editing, set design, and even a decent story. Still, a pity about the acting.

You may have heard the news that a Star Wars live-action TV series is in the works. Here's a nightmare vision of the show, courtesy of Penny Arcade.
