How Has This Awesome Star Wars Anime Not Existed Until Now?

There’s probably been other Star Wars anime stuff before, but this fan-made epic battle between TIE fighters and X-wings is phenomenal!

My favorite part is that it seems to be drawn from the point of view of the TIE fighter pilots, a sorely underused Star Wars group, in my opinion. Now I really want to see a show about these badass space banditos. Who flies for the Empire? What’s it like in the cockpit of a TIE fighter? The possibilities are endless!

The original video was made by a guy named Otaking, and I’d like you, but it seems the original video was taken down from Youtube. What a shame.

Just Darth Maul Being a Badass

The next season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is coming up soon, and even though I don’t watch it, I love me some Darth Maul. I love Darth Maul so much that I even bought and read one of the novels about him. And I absolutely read that Dark Horse comic book series that was released around the time of Episode 1. So seeing more Darth Maul compels me to post about The Clone Wars.

Also, Darth Maul vs. Palpatine is extremely badass.

Star Wars Jokes Will Outlive Us All

The pop culture comedians of today continue to mine Star Wars for every possible bit of parody and humor they can find. Apparently there’s going to be a new animated series based solely around Star Wars jokes. It’s made by the guys from Robot Chicken, who’ve already had great success mining Star Wars jokes. I guess they’ve found some more.

It’s going to be called Star Wars: Detours.

There’s no premiere date set or even a network on which it will air. But those boys sure are making it. Looks…alright. There were some funny jokes in that trailer. And you can watch some clips here. But there comes a time when you’ve got to push away from the table and admit when you’re full.

Here’s the show’s description:

Star Wars Detours™ is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe’s regular folks and their everyday problems… which, to be fair, do frequently involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith.

And oddly enough, they’re very specific on the fact that it will be set between the two trilogies. So…more Star Wars!

My 6 Favorite Fictional Weapons

I’m not much of a weapons man in real life. My family never owned guns and I never went hunting. I never got my parents to sign me up for any cool ninja sword classes. I never even got to use my dad’s chainsaw when I helped him gather wood all those times. But like most every boy on the planet, you better believe every stick or toy I found turned me into a Ninja Turtle. Every cardboard tube was an instant lightsaber. It’s just the way of the world.

Don’t worry, she’s from the Internet, she will protect us

And while real life weapons are cool, fictional weapons are even cooler! Imaginations run wild and think up some of the greatest, coolest, wildest tools imaginable, and we’d all sell important body parts just to own them. Some people may want jetpacks or flying cars to be invented, but I want these 6 awesome fictional weapons!
