Comic Review: Star Wars: Shattered Empire #3



A small band of Rebels led by Han Solo are secretly infiltrating a secret Imperial base on a snowy planet. They start destroying Walkers, speeder bikes and Stormtroopers with rocket launchers until the base is secure, after the fight has finished typically C-3PO arrives.

Back in Theed, the capital of Naboo Princess Leia, The Queen of Naboo & Shara Bey come to the conclusion that the Imperials are attacking Naboo from space. Our butt kicking trio of heroines decide to jump in some Naboo Starfighters, as seen in Episode One: The Phantom Menace.



Back at the Imperial Base the Rebels have broken into the heart of the complex and C-3PO has found information about The Emperors attack on Naboo from beyond the grave, Han quickly realises that Leia is in serious trouble.
But he need not have worried as the three Naboo Starfighters destroy the ties that are streaking from the belly of a Star Destroyer.  Just when it seems all is lost and the three are overwhelmed Lando Calrissian and a group of Rebels arrive in the nick of time, obviously tipped of by Han, at the battle to assist and destroy the remaining Imperial ships, saving the day in the process!  

I'm really enjoying this series, probably because its our first insight into what happens post Return of the Jedi and is beginning to fill in the gaps.  Its also a great nod to the prequels with the inclusion of Naboo and I thought it was nice that leia has visited her Mothers home planet.  There is a couple of great panels on Naboo when leia enters the ship hangar and feels Darth Maul through the Force, I'm glad the Prequels aren't being ignored, even though Darth Maul is one of the more popular aspects of the Prequels, I'm not sure Jar Jar would be well received by some.


The art is gorgeous throughout, i love the colours of the covers and the Characters are superbly drawn, in some shots leia actually looks like a photo, she is that accurate!

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

By
The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

By
Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie.  It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen.  First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne.  Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened.  It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut.  One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door.  Why the sudden cut?  It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.  Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist?  Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
