Filmmaker Oscar Fabián Triana Méndez creates a sequel to his hit short film Star Wars in a Notebook with The Notebook Strikes Back. If you’re a visual artist of any type you should watch this.

Next fall George Lucas is releasing all of the Star Wars live action films in one big Blue-ray box set of love. During an interview at Celebration V with John Stewart (yes, that John Stewart) in front of a huge live audience, Lucas previewed some of the material to be included with the set.

What makes this news so interesting is that deleted scenes from the original films will make it onto the DVDs.

This video is the one shown during the Lucas/Stewart interview. Cool stuff.

***UPDATE: The video was removed from YouTube due to copyright issues with Lucasfilm.

The clip was a 58 second deleted scene from the beginning of Return of the Jedi in which Vader is trying to contact luke via The Force. Luke is briefly interrupted by this, then continues to build his new lightsaber before hiding it in R2-D2′s head.

Too bad, because it was really pretty bad-ass. I can’t wait for the Blue-rays!

I’m sorry in advance. No really.

This a trailer for the movie Sucker Punch. It’s directed by the same guy who did 300 and Watchmen. Very cool stuff.
