FUN FACT: Did you know that in Phantom Menace most of the shots of Yoda were a puppet? Don’t worry though, those shots were re-done in CG for the new trilogy re-release. Yup.
On an unrelated note, Star Wars fans must once again brace for impact, as according to an interview with Access Hollywood (and received by ‘leccyspectre via Pocket Lint) Lucas has been inspired by Avatar to give Star Wars a three dimensional make-over.

Star Wars in 3D would be pretty sweet. However, many fans will be concerned that Lucas decides to do a little bit of extra tampering “whilst we’re here, y’know” and gives Boba Fett a supersoaker or something.
Thoughts?

Iron Maiden’s mascott, Eddie has had a long and varied career, fighter pilot, future assassin, pyramid, tank driver, killer of Margaret Thatcher… And now he’s a Dark Lord Of The Sith. I’m not quite sure if the above image could be any more dorky. It’s a perfect storm of nerdy passions. Quite brilliant.

Remember ‘The Empire Strikes Back’? (If you answered no – piss off). There is only one thing that could have made that movie any better- a heavy metal soundtrack over the Hoth battle scene. Well, now thanks to the awesomness going on over at Zen, you can rectify that little mistake in the comfort of your own home with this: The AT-AT Walker Boombox!
Seriously, is this not the most metal thing you have ever seen?
