Why? 'Cause everyone's a critic

The BBC released a new promotional pic featuring the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith and new companion Amy Pond. Take a look at this and tell me you’re not excited for this thing to finally air.

This is pretty damn cool, except for the big hole in the middle. If you’d add some tie fighters to the mix, though, you and your friends would have hours of fun! (from Gizmodo)

It’s not the full thing, it doesn’t fly on anti-gravity engines, and it doesn’t include lots of wookie hair, but I definitely like this 11 by 8-inch Millennium Falcon released at Toy Fair. Why? Because the damn thing FLIES.

The remote-controlled Falcon comes with a charging controller, all for $50.

Because they are creative as all hell. Take for example Star Wars: Reign of the Fallen. Never heard of it? It’s a Star Wars fanfilm directed and written by David McLeavy, and originally released in March 2006. The nearly hour-long plot goes like this:

In the times since great wars laid waste to Prias, its people have learned to embrace a simple life, away from the perils of technology and war. As the mighty Sith army spreads across the galaxy, subjugating every planet in its path, all the people of Prias can do is wait, their world protected by an energy planetary shield held in place by ancient towers. While the people wait in fear, one Jedi trained by Master Oram Bren will be chosen to be the future leader of Prias, a title decided by a vote of the entire population of the planet. But little do they know that one Jedi’s dark secret could spell their doom.

That’s real cute and all that you’re happy to be working at a Microsoft store, but 1) this looks completely staged and 2) Your attempts at cloning the look of another computer company’s idea of a consumer-friendly retail chain are just sad. Would it kill you to be original?

They’re creative (even the corporate-sponsored ones).
