Luke Skywalker’s Pants Up for Auction: Feel Free to Supply Your Own Joke

by Susana Polo | 2:47 pm, May 22nd, 2013

These pants may not look like much, kid, but they’ve got it where it counts. And they counted for $36,100.

But lets get the bigger revelation out of the way first: Luke Skywalker wears Levi’s.

Star Wars Characters Get Reimagined As Figures From Chinese Folklore

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:30 pm, May 1st, 2013

Nestled among the awesome minimalist movie posters on Sinapore-based artist Joseph Chiang‘s Etsy store are posters of Yoda, Darth Maul, and a Stormtrooper done Chinese folklore-style. Don’t mind me, I’m just having a mythology-induced nerdgasm.

The Mayor of Reykjavík Voted In Iceland’s National Elections Dressed As a Jedi

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:35 pm, April 29th, 2013

It’s not so surprising when you consider that the mayor in question is comedian Jón Gnarr, who ran for election as a joke back in 2010 and was quite surprised when he actually got elected. Part of his platform as the head of the made-up Best Party was that he refused to talk to other candidates unless they’d watched all five seasons of The Wire. There’s a documentary, if you’re so inclined. Or you can just look at this picture of him voting while dressed as a Jedi.

J.J. Abrams Might Not Get to Keep Star Wars a Secret…

by Susana Polo | 11:42 am, April 29th, 2013

J.J. Abrams is infamous for secrecy. Whether it was his hand in Lost, the biggest secret keeping show of all time, or perhaps most prominently now, the basic identity of Benedict Cumberbatch‘s villainous character in Star Trek Into Darkness, the director likes to keep his spoilers spoilery. The only other person in Hollywood who comes close might be Christopher Nolan.

But Abrams’ deal to make Star Wars VII isn’t just any old deal. He’s working for Disney now, and if there’s one thing they’re going to be watching very closely, its their historic revitalization of the Star Wars franchise. You should know what’s coming next: Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy talking about the need to embrace the fan culture that demands detail upon detail before the release of a movie.

A Fashionable Reminder To Ignore Internet Comments

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:21 pm, April 23rd, 2013

We’re lucky here at The Mary Sue to have a healthy comment section (with light moderation). And we know we’re lucky because we practically live on the internet, we witness how bad it gets out there on a daily basis (I even started a tumblr dedicated to how weird it can get). Well it just so happens Etsy user CupcakesAndMace is selling this necklace in a variety of colors to help remind you (and others) to stay far away from comment sections. They write, “Take brilliantly written articles with a spoon full of sugar instead of a squeeze of lemon in the eye and stop reading the comments. The world will be a brighter place when you forget how many idiots there are out there.” If you need some extra help, you could also follow this Twitter account.

Dont’ be fooled: that’s not actual smoke, just a clever facsimlie that Mark (Broken Journalist on Flickr) crafted to give to his fiance as an engagement present. Now that’s a standard neither Han nor Leia have lived up to.

Harrison Ford Meets an Old Friend and it Doesn’t Go Well on Kimmel

by Susana Polo | 5:48 pm, April 18th, 2013

If you’ve kept seeing posts all day about Harrison Ford blowing up on Jimmy Kimmel and haven’t watched it yet because you don’t want to feel vaguely worried about the mental health and/or drug use of one of your childhood icons, I’m here to tell you it’s safe. You should watch and be amused by this video.

Also: wookiee pants.

Fanmade Poster for Star Wars: Episode VII Makes a Movie With the Original Cast Look Pretty Awesome

by Susana Polo | 12:09 pm, March 26th, 2013

Adam Schickling put together this Star Wars VII poster, and as much as I’d like the new trilogy to focus on a new set of characters and feature the old ones as cameos at most, dang if this poster doesn’t make me feel very nostalgic.
