May The Force Be With You

Star Wars Fans Unite For Charity Once Again With Course Of The Force [VIDEO]

Last year, Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Industries joined forces (ha!) with Lucasfilm and Comic-Con International in San Diego for a lightsaber relay race to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Guess what? They’re back for Episode II. Although technically, this is episode one…of their webseries to promote the project. Thinking of joining? “The cost of registration is $150, which includes a customized Hasbro lightsaber, exclusive Course of the Force swag bag and the experience of a lifetime.” Keep up with them on Facebook and Twitter and find out more at the official website.

Karen Gillan Is the New Spokeszombie for z’Ombéal: Walking Dead Skin Care [VIDEO]

The Nerdist crew dressed Karen Gillan up as a zombie for a special The Walking Dead-themed episode airing on BBC America this Saturday. Dying and coming back to life is more Rory’s thing than Amy’s, but this is pretty clever, so I can’t complain.
