2 BILLION DEATH STARS

From Death n Taxes:

Which seems like a colossal mass but we’ve calculated that from the iron in the earth, you could make just over 2 billion Death Stars.

HAN SHOOTS FIRST

Sorry George but Han shooting first made him the coolest character for my younger self - in fact still makes him a cool character not a cold-blooded killer From Hollywood Reporter

“It’s a movie, just a movie. The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down.”

WHO WILL WATCH THE WATCHMEN

Ok we've had the film and now the prequels, Before Watchmen

I must admit I am intrigued and the line-up of creators are pretty good but is there anything more to really add to the original?

SCI-FI HIT PARADE

So SFX has done a top 50 of Sci-Fi theme tunes:
10 to four are:
Blade Runner
Back to the Future
2001 Space Odyssey
Pirates of the Caribbean
Jurassic Park
Harry Potter
Superman

(in my best fluff voice)
Coming in at number three


And at number two and a bit of a shock for pop pickers of a certain age


And steaming in at number one and proof that Tolkien fans have more time to access the computer, at the top of the hit parade is…



To be honest I am shocked that Star Wars wasn't number one and that Superman missed the top three

CALL OF STAR WARS

As you may realise I am a big fan of Star Wars and I absolutely loved Battlefront(s) 1&2.

In addition I really love Medal of Honour and Call of Duty.

These brilliant people have helped all us Battlefront people mourning our time of need.

Absolutely brilliant!
