Search Engine Terms: Gettin’ Erotic With Star Wars
[Search Engine Terms come from an app in the Word Press dashboard. It tells you the terms that people are using in google to lead to your site. Most of ours are ultra depraved and horrible. And amusing to sick people like me.]

Star Wars to Blu-ray: Lucas Responsible for My Mental Breakdown
This just in – George Lucas has announced that Fall 2011 will see the release of a boxset consisting of all six Star Wars flicks on Blu-ray. Of course, Uncle Georgie has decided to once again spit on the fans who desire the Holy Trilogy’s theatrical cuts. When asked about the possibility of releasing the original versions on Blu-ray, Lucas declared;

“Releasing the originals is kind of an oxymoron because the quality of the original is not very good. You have to go through and do a whole restoration on it, and you have to do that digitally. It’s a very, very expensive process to do it. So when we did the transfer to digital, we only transferred really the upgraded version.”
Right. I’m sure it’s a matter of the money, not the fact that Lucas is a self-righteous nutjob. I know this is big news, but I can’t help but feel my blood starting to boil. It’s been years since I’ve allowed myself to get worked up over George Lucas and his bullshit revisionist history. But this announcement just brings it all back…
Shogun Darth Vader Wins Cosplay. Forever.
I came across this today at Boing Boing. God damn. Cosplay always entertains me. Always. Whether it is a horror show, or a flawless victory, it’s bound to evoke some sort of emotion in me. I don’t think I often say a cosplay that lands within the Realm of Gray. No sir, it’s usually inciting laughter or awe.
Today? Today we have awe. Meet Shogun Vader.
LA Weekly:
Lam conceived Shogun Vader back in 2007 after reading about the samurai influence on Ralph McQuarrie’s conceptual designs for Star Wars. He chose the name because Shogun means “general.” In the few years since he began working on Shogun Vader, Lam has gone through three costume designs and is currently working on a fourth.
Really, the entire article is an awesome insight into Lam and his design process, and I urge you to check it out.

What is the perfect compliment to some outrageously sweet Star Wars sneakers? Why, only this Adidas wookie-themed jacket. In a move that is sure to piss off PETA, the jacket is crafted with the finest of wookie furs cultivated from the pillaging of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars. My response? Who gives a shit, these things are fly, no matter how much blood was spilled to make them.
