From Wednesday night's episode of Hungry Beast.

Australian people with TVs (and who also watch ABC) might have seen the show before.

It's a bit of a news/current affairs show, with a few comedy sketches thrown in for good measure.

My favourite part has to be the Beast Files, which you can watch above, where they make pretty pictures out of occasionally scary facts.

Ten points if you can guess the shape they're making before they've zoomed out.

Month of Music: Duel of Fates Remix

While the Imperial March may be the classic piece of music from the franchise, I consider Duel of Fates to be the best. I've said it before, and I'm sticking to my guns blasters on this one.
And so I give you this video, with a remixed Duel of Fates. Enjoy.
Enjoy or I force choke you to death.

Wanting Things: Star Wars Geekery

First, a confession. The first Star Wars movie I saw was Episode IV. And I liked it. Still do.And yes, I have seen I through to III. Yes, they are far better than IV to VI. But Episode V and VI are still my favourites. Also I like roman numerals.

Don't look at me like that.

I still think Jar Jar was the worst thing ever to happen to the franchise. Teenage Anakin was generally whiny and annoying. I've never seen the animated series and for a few years there I really wanted a pet Tauntaun. 

But cutting to the point - ThinkGeek has a bunch of really neat Star Wars stuff. I'm sure everyone's seen the Tauntaun sleeping bag by now, thanks to the April Fools joke that became real, but there's also stuff like this:

Star Wars Cookbooks - Star Wars Chop Sabers

Classic Hasbro Star Wars Blasters

I'll take both cookbooks, the Vader chop saber, and GG's blaster.

Although if I had to choose between the cookbooks, I'd take the one with Darth Maul on the cover, because he had a lightsaber with two ends, and the coolest music.

There, I've said it.

Dances With Jedi

Last night I was watching TV, as I am prone to do, what with me owning a TV and having no life and all.
The second series of So You Think You Can Dance started awhile ago (I assume, I haven't been paying much attention, as nobody dies in it), and they showed one of those "Vote for your favourites! Now let's have a quick re-cap of last night! Look at all the shiny things and don't forget to vote!!!" ads.
Which I don't really mind because I quite enjoy watching false enthusiasm by somebody who hasn't quite mastered an auto-cue. It makes me feel superior.

Anyway, I was watching the ad when I saw this:

Which really isn't such a great photo, but basically, I bolted upright from my usual slumped-across-the-whole-couch position, because I thought he was meant to be a Jedi.
Apparently not. A little searching took me to the official website, wherein it says that:
" they played Hip Hop vampires to Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” "
Talk about disappointing. Plus, hip hop vampires are so 2008.

However, shortly after, I found this, which was probably on just after the Jedi on the ad, while I was in a Star Wars inspired coma.

We're talking about the couple in white. Look familiar?
"They were to dance a Jazz routine by Project Moda that was inspired by the controversial film, “Clockwork Orange” and required them to attack one another with baseball bats."

I should watch So You Think You Can Dance more often.
