Star Wars Rewatch: The Empire Strikes Back

Man, now that the prequels are done and over with, the series just keeps getting better and better.

Let’s talk about The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars Rewatch: Attack Of The Clones

OK, Star Wars fans. quick question:  which movie was worse, Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones?

See, Menace has the comedic stylings of Jar Jar Binks and obnoxious pre-teen Anakin Skywalker.  Attack has a lot of half-assed romance and obnoxious post-teen Anakin Skywalker.  I’d actually rather see Phantom Menace given the choice.  At least that one had some pod racing.

But hey, we’re not skipping Attack of the Clones.

What If Star Wars Characters Were Ancient Greek Statues?

What if our favorite Star Wars characters were actually ancient Greek philosophers, or artists, or rulers? That’s the take French artist Travis Durden took for a Star Wars themed art show in Paris in October. He used 3D modeling software on computers to recreate characters like Yoda, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett as Greek sculptures. See more pictures after the break, and check out Monsieur Durden’s website for more of his creative work.
