It sure is a nice day for an afternoon...and for some random Star Wars fun...










Let's start with a few more TPM-related links in honor of the film's 10 year anniversary...

NBCLosAngeles.com celebrates 10 years of The Phantom Menace by proclaiming, "Let's All Celebrate By Standing in Line Somewhere."

HitFix.com is less than enthused.

Mad About Movies on OregonLive.com, on the otherhand, is a bit more positive and puts the progression of the Prequel trilogy above that of the Matrix trilogy.

Blast from the 10 years ago past: On February 1, 1999, Newsweek was "Waiting For Star Wars." (Thanks Steve!)







Our friends from JediNews.co.uk announce the following...

"Introducing JediNews.ca"
