I really like checking out Joe Quinones’ blog on a regular basis. He’s always posting interesting bits on the creation of images you find in your comic books. He did some work at the Emerald City Comic Con, and it makes our Art Appreciation Moment of the Day.
After a prolonged absence from the print medium, Dark Horse Presents returns. But will this return, with such creators as Paul Chadwick, Richard Corben, and Neal Adams, be a boon? Or a burden? Take the jump faithful Spoilerite to find out.
If you ever sit around wondering what Mon Calamari think about over the weekend, Admiral Ackbar has the answer.

Tag and Bink are Dead
Tag and Bink are the main characters in a series of comic books spoofing Star Wars. Tag is from the planet Corellia and Bink is from Alderaan. The two first meet when they are found to have Force potential. The comics illustrate how these two Jedi in training haphazardly cause all the pivotal events in the Star Wars universe. Like other Star Wars comics, Tag and Bink is published by Dark Horse Comics.

At times there seems to be a stigma attached to movie sequels. A lot of the time they have no purpose other than to capitalize on the name recognition of their popular predecessor. But there are times where the sequels live up to what has come before, or even surpass it on some occasions. Take the jump and see which movies made the cut, and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo sadly didn’t.
In the pulse-pounding, hour-long season finale, Ahsoka Tano is taken captive and stranded on a planetary game preserve, where she finds herself on the run from merciless and sadistic Trandoshan hunting parties. With the odds stacked against her and no rescue in sight, hope for survival begins to dwindle – that is, until her escape efforts receive an unexpected boost from a friendly – and furry! – fellow captive. The chase begins with “Padawan Lost” and continues into “Wookiee Hunt” – it’s a must-see, double dose of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, April 1 on Cartoon Network.
Hey pervs purveyors of parody films featuring people getting nekkid; looks like we’ll be deluged with XXX parodies this year. Over the weekend, I made a point to show off the Justice League XXX: An Extreme Comixxx Parody, and today we have news that Axel Braun will be giving it to the Star Wars universe with Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody… IN THREE-DEE!
Braun and Vivid Entertainment were auditioning actors last week, and have narrowed it down to some new-ish stars, and some old favorites, including Lexington Steele as Darth Vader.
Take the jump for the complete press release. The press release and the image of Allie Haze are both safe for work, but if you decide to do a Google Search for Allie Haze with Safe Search OFF, you’re going to get something your boss would not approve of. Unless, your boss is also a perv, in which case, search away!
In April 2011, LegoLand in Southern California opens Star Wars MiniLand that includes 2,000 models from the franchise, all built in miniature – with LEGO!
Check that out – 1.5 million LEGO bricks used to build all the models. The execution arena contains 30,000 bricks, and took five weeks to build. Some people really do have the best jobs in the world!
I love that the character literally sh!ts a brick in this commercial for the upcoming LEGO Star Wars III – The Clone Wars game.
