By Erik Davis When Cinematical reader Geoff M. sent us a note about a life-size Yoda cake he created for his son's fourth birthday, we simply had to see it because a) any dad who's down for a Star Wars-themed birthday party certainly meets movie geek standards, and b) any dad who'd actually take on the task...

By RawmeatCowboy “Yes, Nintendo did give us a heads-up about MotionPlus. As far as I know, MotionPlus won’t be available until 2009, so it won’t be in our game since it launches in November 2008.

By HellCat It was about a decade ago that I became a Star Wars fan. Ironically, it was because of the widely loathed Special Editions. I got pretty into it, eagerly savouring new information and merchandise. However, by the time of 2002's Attack of the Clones, I was pretty burned out. Star Wars movies are b...

By Jacob T. Paschal Star Wars: The Clone Wars is probably Cartoon Network's most hyped series in quite some time. Toon Zone reviewed the feature film this past August, but while Maxie Zeus was largely on it the movie, I see no reason to be lightsaber blue over this Friday's one-hour premiere.

The Star Wars series returned from a 16-year break with 1999�s The Phantom Menace. Though the flick earned tons of money, it inspired widespread derision from fans. Very few � if any - find the �Prequel Trilogy� to match up to the �Original Trilogy�, and many fans see Phantom Menace as the wor...

By tblack@coxohio.com I have been eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ for a long time.

By tblack@coxohio.com I must say I wasn’t impressed with the beginning of this episode. The finale ended with the standard cliffhanger-proposal ending. It was something you would expect from a finale. But the season 4 premiere of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ felt like any other mid-season episode. We could tell from las...

By Brother OMi(noreply@blogger.com) The story makes a strong argument for the Jedi's approach to detachment. When Obi Wan asks Yoda if the council could change the rule, he is told that it will not happen. Qui Gon answers that one day it might when the times change. Of course, this happens with the order is destroyed and Luke Skywal...

You simply can't avoid the Star Wars phenomenon in modern culture. Even if you've managed to shun all the films, you're well aware of the basic story thanks to a mass of references in various TV shows. And of course the oh-so-hilarious quips from every comedian under the sun with regards to th...

By Justin McElroy Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3, Reviews, Microsoft Xbox 360 The reviews are in for The Force Unleashed, and though the title promises unparalleled Force-based action, it seems that most of the praise being heaped on the game is for its story and how well it nails Lucas' universe.

By Tempo I’ll still probably buy more old-school “Star Wars” gear than I can carry at San Diego Comic-Con in a few weeks. But for this Boba Fett fanatic, the products of George Lucas' sci-fi empire long ago reached the point of diminishing returns. At the TCA press tour on Friday, we were treated to an e...

By Kevin Kelly In Star Wars and Star Trek, the main way to get around the galaxy is to use warp speed or flip on your hyperdrive, which is a bit like hitting the gas pedal as hard as you can so you'll get there a bit quicker.

By Ed Driscoll Of course, like any decent film, it's a miracle that Star Wars is as good as it is. It's an even bigger miracle that it got made in the first place. J.W.
