"You Want This Don't You?"  A Working Lightsaber! What do we want more than a real-life hoverboard from Back to the Future or a phaser from Star Trek?  Well it's a real-life lightsaber of course.  Star Wars fans will get to experience a lightsaber which to be honest, from the teaser trailer below is the closest we've got yet to a Jedi's favourite weapon.  No news yet on when and if we can purchase one but guests who visit the all new all-immersive Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser ,  a two-night vacation experience that goes beyond anything Disney has ever created before will be able to get their hands (mechanical or real) on one, but not until 2022.  The new experience will see guests staying at a starcruiser hotel and for two days will be totally immersed in all things Star Wars.  You won't feel like being on Earth but a galaxy far, far away. Over on the Disney Parks blog we are told: "Yes, that’s a new type of lightsaber Rey is holding in her hand, c

10 Best Star Wars Alien Races Star Wars is one of the rare science-fiction franchises that actually bothered to introduce a large chunk of its fictional universe, which – in this case – encompasses the whole known universe. Although we certainly haven’t seen the whole Star Wars universe, George Lucas and the other authors that have participated in the creation and development of the franchise have given us a solid look into the universe of Star Wars , into its different world and its races. In today’s article, we are going to be bringing you a list of the ten best alien (i.e., non-human) races in the fictional universe of Star Wars , so enjoy! 10. Bith The Bith race might not be the first to come to mind when you’re thinking Star Wars , but this race is actually quite famous and it is one of the “oldest” ones, as it was introduced in A New Hope . So, who are the Bith? Remember the iconic Mos Eisley Cantina scene and the jazz band? Well, the big-headed aliens who produce some me

It's been a long year for everybody, but slowly, signs of normalcy are starting to return to our world. Projects that have encountered delays are finally coming to fruition. Among those projects is the next work from the great Steven Spielberg. During Sunday night's broadcast of The Oscars, the official teaser trailer for West Side Story debuted.  View the full trailer here: The teaser seems to perfectly capture the 1960s cinematic atmosphere of the original, released in 1961. The music appears to be fairly typical 21st century era movie trailer music, but to me, that is no indication of the kind of music we're sure to get in this film. West Side Story is scheduled to hit theaters on December 10. Brad Monastiere I live in Michigan and have been an unconditional fan of Star Wars and Indiana Jones for decades.

Superman The Movie (1978) was one of the first films I saw at the cinema, my mother had taken me and my brother to see ‘Grease’ but it had sold out. I had seen Star Wars in that year as well and loved it but (shock & horror to anyone that knows me) I gravitated more towards Superman in 1978...at 6 years old I was already familiar with superheroes and, besides, it looked more fun dressing up in a red cape than a dull farm boy tunic. In the school playground we played ‘swaps’ with our Star Wars & Superman bubblegum cards (it was one or the other, the inferior Black Hole cards wouldn’t turn up until a year or two later) and it was always a win to get a good shot of Superman himself as opposed to a rather dull Lex Luthor image (no offence to the wonderful Gene Hackman) The appeal of a Valerie Perrine image wouldn’t occur to me until much later. Now, after 40+ years, the film still holds a wonderful place in my cinema-loving life. Generally speaking Superman II probably gets more lo

Let's be honest, we've all had a day like this where you feel all washed out and drained.  It's been a busy day on the set of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and tomorrow looks like it's not going to be any different.   Tilbury Docks then on to  Campo San Barnaba, Venice!
