Imagination Strikes Back by Kiel Bryant

I don't recall seeing this here yet.

Keepin' it real since a long, long time ago....

A quick search for LoganSnake's last post in this thread brought about the above video, which was originally posted by Reese some months ago, but I do not know if it is the same version you jusy posted now, B_G (I thought the previous version was animated).

Photo of the highly-anticipated special edition R2-D2 Driod 2 from Verizon Wireless,
which is due to be unveiled at Celebration V, has been snapped a day early thanks
to R2-D2 Central and, we’re assuming, some fancy Stormtrooper-distracting Jedi Mind Tricks.

The formative years: C-3PO

Disney’s Star Tours is now closed in Anaheim, and closes soon in Orlando, for a massive overhaul to Star Tours II. Disney has now released one of the queue videos that play on the big jumptron screen while you wait in line. They aren’t confirming any of these destinations will be part of Star Tours II, but it’s been known that Endor isn’t the only place the Starspeeder can go in the upgrade. Check out the video below.

I was going to post this just now, (though I've had the story since before the weekend) so I'll just add a secondary link to the news.

Thanks for featuring it, Cynthetiq. I honestly didn't know how to describe it, certainly not as well as you did.

“The Office Strikes Back” by Jason Sly.

author's comments:
Started off as a more direct Empire Strikes Back spoof, with a Star Wars-style
“The Office Strikes Back” title graphic and everything. But it sorta grew into
its own thing and I dropped the title and strict adherence to the Empire poster.


*relevant context

I had heard about this and then forgot all about it.

How to make it yourself

I have found my wedding cake!

“Midichlorian Rhapsody” — Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff manage to make the
Star Wars prequels slightly less offensive by condensing them to six minutes,
and setting them to the tune of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Off the duo’s collection of nerdy classic rock parodies, Grated Hits. (buy, if you're into it, baby.)
