Super Retro STAR WARS Art Poster by Paul Shipper

So Awesomely Nostalgic! 

“Here’s Where the Fun Begins” STAR WARS Turns 37 Today!








STAR WARS premiered on May 25th in 1977 - thirty-seven years ago today - and next 
December we'll get to see what the future holds for beloved Galaxy Far, Far Away.

 Meanwhile here are just a few images of the vintage original- behind the scenes, promo photos, and comic art. 

I never tire of looking at these BTS shots - it reminds how I discovered my love of film-making, special effects, & costume design by constantly pouring through my old Making of Star Wars books, and reading mags like Starlog back in the day.

New Hope Princess Leia - Hair Buns & Attitude Fan Art Gallery





Stanley Chow (more a combo of Leia & Padme - but still fits the theme)

Disappointed and kind of annoyed there wasn't any real new Star Wars Episode VII movie info 
announced @ Disney's D23 Expo today. So - I'm thinking their recently acquired Princess is irked as well.

Star Wars Uncut: Director's Cut - Behold The Awesome Power of Fan Creativity


While we all spend a lot of time as Star Wars fans debating the technical merit/emotional effect of George Lucas's various revisions to his work, we often forget the essential sense of fun and joy the first film originally evoked. This ambitious project really gets back to that essence, celebrating how Star Wars has sparked the imagination and creativity of generations of fans. Casey Pugh basically invited anyone to re-create a 15 minute segment of the original film however they wanted to - ranging from kid's dressing up (or adults - usually in bathrobes), to animated action figures, parodies and more arty animations - and then took on the task of assembling them into this masterpiece of awesome. Funny, sweet, often weird, and oddly charming - if nothing else a tribute to how it's now impossible to look at a canister vac without seeing a droid. You can watch the entire movie above or here and visit  the film's site to see specific clips, alternate submissions and project details.Via Laughing Squid
