Jedi Temple Archives has en early look at wave 4 of the Black Series in-hand.  The results are mixed.  Click through for the almost worrisome results on Yoda.

We’ve posted links to Vesa Lehtimäki’s Flickr page in the past which contains amazingly quasi-lifelike photos of LEGO dioramas.  Now CNN’s Headline News has interviewed the man behind the magic.  HLN needs to interview Boutros77 next.

Flickr user Jerac has posted pictures of his build of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s flagship, the imperial star destroyer Chimaera.  This massive hunk of Lego weighs 110 lbs, consists of 40,000 bricks, cost $5,000 and took nearly six months to assemble.  Wow.

According to a fan poll at Empire Online, The Empire Strikes Back is the top film off all time edging out customary favorite The Godfather. A New Hope grabs the number six spot while my beloved Jedi ranks a lowly 120.  The list compiles the top 301 movies and I’m guessing there is a typo somewhere because Attack of the Clones doesn’t make the list.

In addition to the previous revealed Endor set, Rebelscum has the scoop on a Cantina Showdown and a Jabba’s Rancor Pit set which are showing up in Toys R Us UK computers.

runDisney has announced that a Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend is coming to the Disneyland Resort in California on January 15-18, 2015.  If you don’t have 13 miles in your legs, there are also 10 and 5K races.

I thought this was pretty fun.  Gamespot compiles 30 years of Battle of Hoth video game history in advance of the presumed first look at Battlefront 3 at E3.

This isn’t fresh news. but Thea and Liana Shengelaya, better known as the Healer Twins, were on set for four days of filming in Abu Dhabi.  Abu Dhabi = Tatooine.  Tatooine = Cantina.  Mysterious sisters in the cantina. Are we sure Episode VII isn’t the best possible cover title for an Episode IV remake?

According to the site Metro UK, Disney has canceled the free-to-play space combat simulator Attack Squadrons and speculate that this could mean a return to the X-Wing video game franchise.

Thanks to Darth Mire for this alert.  This video was posted to the official YouTube channel detailing how you can win a role in Episode VII.

I think we all knew that Disney wouldn’t miss the chance to ring the cash register on this one.  Now that emotion is removed from the equation and only business motives factor into the equation, it seems like the consumer is going to get what they wanted all along.  According to Bleeding Cool, they have intercepted a e-mail, which supposedly originates from Disney’s marketing department and indicates that The House of Mouse plans to release the unaltered (pre Special Edition) Original Trilogy in Blur-Ray format in advance of Episode VII.

No longer will a feared hired gun miss a near contact shot!  Also, the linked article contains a very flimsy rumor that the Prequel Trilogy could get phased out and lumped in with the Legends non-canon banner.  Again, this one is flimsy.  But someone alert Eddie From Dorkside Toys!

We knew Medicom was going to start producing 6” Star Wars figure.  Their 6 inch MAFEX Darth Vader was revealed CafeReo Character Convention in Japan!

According to Yahoo UK there is a legal battle brewing over the contract to provide the hundreds of extras for Episode VII which may delay shooting.  The article even indicates for what those extras would be needed.  I think one we probably assumed, but the other is for a popular non-human species, so don’t click through if you consider that spoiler information.  Using extras for these roles instead of using CGI models with jarringly unnatural locomotion is a huge positive.  Hopefully this legal battle doesn’t tempt JJ do the darkside of CGI.
