Boba Fett: The Twelve Parsec Stare


Star Wars was influenced by classic westerns as well as other genres, and if there is one character that we would want to see in a serious Western style story, it is Boba Fett. In fact, every time I watch Sergio leone’s spaghetti westerns I see Lee Van Cleef as the embodiment of Boba Fett. Lucas must have been inspired by Lee Van Cleef in some capacity.

Anyway, Boba Fett meets Spaghetti westerns. Enjoy. Wouldn’t it be amazing to get a real Boba Fett Western? I can only hope.

Fan-Made Star Wars TIE Fighter Short Film

This amazing seven-and-a-half-minute short created by a fan took over four years to complete, It should should help tide you over until the new Star Wars movies arrive. It was created by Paul Michael Johnson and animated in the style of 80s anime series’ like Mobile Suit Gundam.

The soundtrack is very 80s too and many of the sound effects from the classic TIE Fighter series of games from LucasArts were used as well. He did an awesome job.

This Doctor Who Fan Video Shows The TARDIS Dematerializing In A New Way

For all of it’s history, the TARDIS has de-materialized in the same way. It slowly fades in and out of existence in one place and appears somewhere else. This VFX video from John Smith shows it materializing in a new and exciting way.

In fact, I’m surprised that the showrunners haven’t tried this on the show yet. Then again, it is a bit showy to use every time the TARDIS goes somewhere. It is fun to see though. I could watch this all day long. The creator did an awesome job.
