DVD Review: The People Vs. George Lucas
A long time ago, in a theatre far, far away....a kid’s movie opened that would change Hollywood forever. It’s hard to remember a day when Star Wars wasn’t a towering cultural and marketing event, but on May 25, 1977, it was a smallish movie opening on a Wednesday in just 32 theaters. Theater goers wait in lines in front of the Avco Center Theater in Los Angeles to see "Star Wars" in June 7, 1977. “Theaters didn't want the movie.

This story first appeared in the Feb. 17 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. S tar Wars homages certainly have had a storied history. There are Seth Green 's Robot Chicken specials, the recent Christmas episode of Glee , the "Blue Harvest" episode of Family Guy , even Mel Brooks' 1987 spoof Spaceballs . And then there was this year's Super Bowl, where Volkswagen debuted a 30-second commercial entitled "The Dog Strikes Back" featuring a pooch inspired by a new 2012 VW Beetle to get into shape.
The Real Force Behind 'Star Wars': How George Lucas Built an Empire - The Hollywood Reporter
Casey Pugh had no clue what he was getting himself into. “I was working as a web developer for Vimeo and I was doing a lot of video-based stuff, but I was also thinking about how I could enable filmmakers to create either short films or feature-length films together remotely,” he says. “I bounced an idea off my friends but I had no idea it would blow up to this scale--it’s just crazy.” He’s talking, of course, about Star Wars Uncut , the epic, crowdsourced film he masterminded.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the most ambitious undertakings in video game history. When the game launched in December, it was the fruition of six years of work by as many as 800 developers and an investment of an estimated $200 million. One of the secrets behind the successful development of the game was the HeroEngine, a development platform for building online games that was created by Maryland-based Idea Fabrik.

Fans Seek Boycott of 'Star Wars' Blu-rays
Hardcore Star Wars fans are all over the Internet excoriating the latest round of changes that George Lucas has made to the original Star Wars Trilogy in preparation for the Star Wars Blu-ray release, which is due out on September 16th. The new Blu-ray set will not only feature a sparkling new high-def transfer of the film, but will also include over 40 hours of extras, some of which have never been released before (see “' Star Wars' BDs ”). The problem is not the extras, but the changes that Lucas has made to the original films themselves (and the fact that he is only making the altered versions available and not the “original” films). Some of the changes like the new painting hanging on the wall in Jabba the Hutt’s palace or the replacement of the Yoda puppet in The Phantom Menace with a CGI model, or new CGI Ewoks who now blink, are less controversial than others, especially the overdubbing of Darth Vader screaming “No, Noooo!”Save Star Wars
In 1988, the American motion picture industry went through a legal upheaval that went all the way to Congress. Ted Turner had purchased the rights to studio libraries, such as MGM and RKO, and was releasing classic films in colourized versions, to surprising success. Many of the directors of these films were still alive and protested this bastardization--but alas, they had no legal case.
George Lucas perd en justice contre les répliques de Stormtroopers - L'EXPRESS
Andrew Ainsworth, le dessinateur du costume des Stormtroopers de Star Wars , a gagné le droit d'en vendre des répliques sur le territoire britannique, d'après le site du Guardian . Le designer commercialise des répliques des costumes de Stormtrooper depuis de nombreuses années, ce à quoi George Lucas a tenté de mettre un terme à plusieurs reprises. La Cour Suprême d'Angleterre a tranché: Andrew Ainsworth est dans son droit. "Le juge a conclu que les casques ne peuvent être considérés comme un produit artistique puisqu'ils ont été produits en masse et qu'ils ont un but utilitaire" a déclaré Simon Bennett, avocat spécialisé dans la propriété intellectuelle dans le Guardian . Cette décision confirme une précédente, prise en 2009 en Cour d'appel. Mais la Force n'est pas avec Andrew Ainsworth dans tous les pays de la Galaxie.Endicott , a Human male lieutenant of the Imperial Navy , served aboard the second Death Star battlestation as a docking bay technician by 4 ABY , a position he received after graduating third in his class from the prestigious Imperial Academy of Carida . Endicott oversaw the unexpected arrival of the Dark Lord Darth Vader's personal shuttle aboard the Death Star shortly before the Battle of Endor . He served in the Death Star's control room alongside battlestation commander Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod during the battle, witnessing the initial use of the Death Star's superlaser upon the attacking starships of the Rebel Alliance Fleet , and later relayed Jerjerrod's final command to use the Death Star to destroy the Forest Moon of Endor near the battle's climax, an order never carried out before the Death Star's own destruction.

BBC News - Online game Star Wars Galaxies set to close
The game put players in the same Universe as Luke, Han and Leia Sony said the closure had come about because its contract to run the Star Wars game runs out in 2012, not because of declining player numbers. In an interview with online gaming site Massively, Sony Online Entertainment boss John Smedley said the combination of the contract finishing and the imminent arrival of a separate Star Wars game made it "feel like it's the right time for the game to end". The other Star Wars game is Bioware's The Old Republic that is currently under development.C’est une sacrée opportunité qui s’est présenté à moi et c’est pour ça que je vous annonce le déménagement du blog vers le site des Inrockuptibles !

Star Wars : un univers en expansion transmedia | le blog du storytelling
À l’approche de la sortie de la saga cinéma remasterisée pour le format blu-ray , Star Wars reste l’exemple le plus abouti de ce qu’on englobe de plus en plus dans le concept de «transmedia storytelling». Si Star Wars se limitait à la trilogie originale de « La Guerre des Étoiles » (1977-1983), ce serait déjà l’un des cas de storytelling les plus brillants du siècle passé. Mais ses fans sont les explorateurs d’un univers narratif en perpétuelle expansion. Je ne parle pas ici des produits dérivés traditionnels, « making of » et autres jouets, mais bien d’histoires supplémentaires se déroulant avant l’Épisode I, en parallèle des différents épisodes ou après l’Épisode VI : livres, jeux vidéos immersifs, dessins animés etc. Ainsi, c’est lors d’une convention en 1978 que George Lucas a présenté le personnage de Bobba Fett. Le chasseur de primes était alors annoncé comme un des pivots du futur « Empire contre-attaque ».filmographie
