Do you know what the Empire's lacking? Women. Why were the Storm Troopers all blokes? Maybe it's because no one made them any, errr, decent costumes? How about these supposedly sexy Star Wars getups? Read More >>

Want to watch A New Hope today? Want to watch it every day? Just can't find the time? This awesome, animated, 60-second speedrun should help. From the folks who brought you high-speed versions of Back to the Future and The Matrix, this redux is waaaaay better than that special edition stuff. What's your guess for Episode VII; better or worse than this? [1A4STUDIO] Read More >>

Slapping a case on your shiny new smartphone is often a necessary evil; we'd rather hide the beauty of our lust-worthy gadget than see it all smashed up. But these awesome new limited edition Star Wars cases might be one case or two you'll actually want to buy for your iPhone 5. Read More >>

Having just bought themselves a brand new cash cow, it seems Disney's going to milk it for all its worth. It's announced it's going to pump out a new Star Wars film every year starting in 2015. Talk about churn. Read More >>

Still on the hunt for an alternative to Google's soon-to-be-dead Reader? Head on over to StaRSS, which displays any feed as if it were the epic opening crawl of a Star Wars film. It's not as functional as Google Reader, and it will most definitely get tiresome quickly, but it includes John Williams' iconic Star Wars theme so it's not entirely useless. May the foRSS be with you. [StaRSS via TAXI] Read More >>

This Lego recreation of Han Solo's DL-44 heavy blaster is incredible. Right down to the wood-coloured handle and the offset scope, it looks as authentic as a Lego-built blaster can without actually firing lasers. Read More >>

Imagine a world where lightsabres are real. Totally awesome, yeah? All fun and games, right? Until a baby gets his hands on a lightsabre. When they start waving things around, you're at their mercy. Fingers, homes, human bodies, and anything else are just in the way. Read More >>

French astronomers think they found Tatooine in real life and we didn't even have to travel to a galaxy far, far away (well, it's still kind of far). The fictional home of Luke Skywalker is called 2MASS0103(AB)b in real life and it revolves around two suns that move relatively close together. Basically, this planet is in the binary star system just like Tatooine. Read More >>

Since it's pretty much an open secret that the old cast members of the original Star Wars trilogy are coming back for the next movie, this portrait of them at their current age should absolutely be the next movie poster for Episode VII. Hand painted by artist Adam Schickling, the portrait captures our favourite heroes with all their beautiful wrinkles. Read More >>

Mashing up two wonderful things into one ridiculously wonderful thing should be the constant goal of mankind. That's how we got smartphones. And gummy bears infused with alcohols. And designer drugs. One Minute Galactica imagined what would happen if we mashed up Star Wars and Jurassic Park and they came up with Jurat-at Park. I've watched both movies so many times that it's a no brainer that I would totally watch this movie. [Slacktory] Read More >>

In an online survey sent to Annual Pass holders and other park enthusiasts, Disney has apparently started to gauge interest in expanding the Star Wars presence at its resorts, starting with Disneyland. Read More >>

Was there more to the climax of Star Wars: A New Hope than met the eye? According to the creators of Luke's Change: an Inside Job, a fantastically clever take on another documentary you're probably aware of, there certainly was. And come to think of it, some of the details of the whole thing were pretty convenient. I'm starting to think that maybe all this stuff didn't actually happen... [Boing Boing via io9] Read More >>

Why suffer through all the boring parts of the Star Wars movies when this set of self-adhesive vinyl decals lets you perpetually relive the best part: that epic space battle from Return of the Jedi.

We've already had Harrison Ford inked for a Han-Solo return, then Carrie Fisher said she was in with her hair buns and all, before Disney forced her to deny she'd said anything. But now this chap called 'George Lucas' has let slip that everyone's in, including Mark Hamill. What does he even know, anyway? Read More >>

The gang is getting back together for the next Star Wars movie. We already knew Harrison Ford was going to become an old Han Solo and now, Carrie Fisher is saying that she'll reprise her role as Princess Leia. Is this a good thing? Read More >>
