The Quote of the Day from ago!

Richard Marquand (+3)
"I'd like to do one of the early ones. I'm already fascinated with them, the way society works in these early ones is something that appeals to me very much. It sounds like a very intriguing world."

- Richard Marquand, in 1983

Bad Movie Physics: A Report Card (+8)
"To some extent, it's understandable that space adventures play fast and loose with physics. After all, who wants to watch Han Solo spend years on the journey to Alderaan, only to find that the planet has twice Earth gravity and he can barely stand up, much less swagger?"

- Charlie Jane Anders

Cracked (+9)
"Quickly, what's your favorite scene from the original Star Wars trilogy? The first moment you see Darth Vader? When Luke loses his hand and finds out the truth about his father? The battle with Imperial Walkers on Hoth? Whatever it was, chances are it was conceived long before A New Hope was ever made, and not by George Lucas. Ralph McQuarrie was the production illustrator&mdash;basically, the guy whose job it is to get studios excited about the movie. He was supposed to sketch out a few ideas based on an incomplete script, just to give a hint of what direction the film might go&hellip;Looking at what he accomplished, it would be insulting to call his pictures 'concept art'; they were Star Wars."

Cracked (+5)
"Without McQuarrie, there wouldn't be a Darth Vader helmet, or a Boba Fett suit, or Storm Trooper armor, which means you would have spent an entire decade of your childhood dressing up each Halloween as a ghost or a skeleton or some bullshit. Unless you did do that, in which case, you should watch Star Wars, it's really good."

Telegraph (+5)
"Such is the cultish devotion to the Star Wars brand, there are hundreds upon hundreds of well-maintained fan sites, covering every last minutiae of the fictional universe. Some choice favourites include Star Wars Resort ('wouldn't it be cool if there were a Star Wars theme park?'), and The Mos Eisley Football League ('the fantasy football league for Star Wars fans'). As far as killer names go, however, 'Wookieepedia' brooks no comparison."
