Writing couple paragraphs of last week’s S7AR Wars about a fan-restored Blu-Ray quality version of the original trilogy, I considered becoming a collector of various “despecialized” cuts of the original trilogy I learned were floating around the internet.
Then, I got an e-mail from El Mayimbe with some images and info that made me think I might not have to dig through the annals of the internet to get a Blu Ray copy of the un-Special Star Wars trilogy. Maybe I don’t have to turn to the likes of internet smugglers and pirates to get the original Original Trilogy fix.
Disclaimer - Gonna show you these, but then talk about how they aren’t real. Ready?
Got sent these mockups of the original trilogy Blu Rays with the “Legends” banner from a designer who claimed to have made them at the request of Lucasfilm.

It may go out on DisneyXD, but Star Wars Rebels is far more than a kid’s show according to John Moore...
There's an obvious reason geeks should watch new animated series Star Wars: Rebels, which is this: it's Star Wars.
It has the look, the feel, and (perhaps most importantly) the music that we know and love... What’s more it also has some nascent signs of the character interplay and humour that made watching the Ot cast aboard the Millenium Falcon such good fun - but if that isn’t enough for you, then read on...
No, really, it’s Star Wars

Thirty years ago today, James Cameron’s The Teminator dominated the box office on its opening day.
Though the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film is now considered a modern classic, it’s not exactly the best film in its franchise.
In the intervening nine years between The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) became a hard-willed warrior, determined to protect her son John Connor and the future of humanity. That’s one big step up from her colourless, sometimes hysterical demeanour in The Terminator. Already Terminator 2 is the better movie.
Terminator isn’t the only franchise that has a high-achieving younger sibling. Let’s go through some of our favourites.

James Cameron makes a good sequel. Unfortunately, his follow-up to Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi thriller Alien was postponed for years while Cameron wrote and directed The Terminator and Rambo: First Blood Part II. We’re very...

With the release of The Dark Knight Rises and the completion of the Dark Knight Trilogy it had me thinking of where it falls when compared to other classic trilogies. Trilogies used to be reserved for a select few, but now everything has a trilogy. I mean Step Up had a trilogy…until they made another movie and now it’s a quadrilogy. To be fair there is a lot of plot in that series so four movies were absolutely necessary. In fact I’m quite surprised Step Up Revolutions wasn’t split up into two parts. That’s not to say that there aren’t any great ones out there, because there are quite a few and I hope to point out some of those today. I created a list of what I think are the best trilogies ever made. I considered a few things when making this list.

To mark the launch of its new game, Stratego Sci-Fi has surveyed more than 2,000 Britons to chart the Stratego Sci-Fi 100 – the nation’s top 100 stars of the sci-fi world – as well as a separate poll charting the best sci-fi battles from the silver screen – and has crowned Superman the greatest sci-fi character of all time
Following up the Man of Steel in 2nd place in the Stratego Sci-Fi 100 was Harrison Ford’s gruff but lovable rogue Han Solo, with Frank Oz’s jedi master Yoda coming third, both representing Star Wars in the top three and rounding it out firmly in George Lucas’ favour. Steven Spielberg’s E.T may be one of the most lovable characters of all time, but only made it to fourth in the list, followed by Will Smith’s Agent Jay from the hugely popular Men in Black series at number five.
