Star Wars: Legion – Miniatures skirmish game

August 19, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fantasy Flight Games have big news in the form of Star Wars: Legion an infantry miniatures game. X-Wing has become a hugely popular space fight game, with dogfights, build strategy and collecting. It’s easy to see why the goal of Legion is to bring that to the skirmish tabletop. However, unlike X-Wing, Legion’s miniatures are […]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens latest trailer

April 16, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This is it. The second official Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer shows us new characters, old landscapes… and some of our favourites from the originals. There’s history and change all wrapped into a single Force bundle! There’s R2-D2 and BB8 as well; I wonder if they meet? What do you make of it?

February 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In a galaxy far, far away from geek culture there was a fashion week. This fashion week, hold in New York, like so many events before it has been touched by the greatness of geek.

X-Men as Star Wars characters

November 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a great piece of geeky mashup art from Arzeno over at Deviant Art. It puts X-Men characters into the roles of Star Wars. Gambit is Han Solo (suggested name: Han LeBeua), Rogue is Princess Leia (suggested name: Princess Leianna), Nightcrawler as Luke Skywalker (suggested name: Kurt Skywalker), Beast as Chewbacca (suggested name: Coybacca), […]

Star Wars: The Jedi Path review

August 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force feels more like a prop than a book. It’s a wonder to hold and if you find yourself in an old fashioned bookshop with remarkably good taste then you simply have to pick this manual up and hold it. The edges of the pages are […]

That scene in Star Wars with Nyan cat in it

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nyan cat was in Star Wars, episode IV, but not many people remember it. It’s strange because it’s an important scene and Nyan cat is easy to spot. It’s the scene in which Obi Wan is trying to explain The Force to Luke. R2-D2 is nearby and seems to be watching in. After Nyan cat’s […]

Lego Star Wars movie: Black Stormtrooper

February 1, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Donald Faison plays Turk in Scrubs. I think he’s in Skyline too. Turns out he’s a bit a geek, perhaps even a geek native, at the very least he’s a Star Wars fan. Faison wrote, directed, edited and, get this, animated this entire Lego Star Wars movie. It’s nearly 3 minutes long. In it the […]
