Basically his agent approached my cousin and her husband (they own a small but very good gym here) and hired them to be Ewan's personal trainer while he is here in Perth. He got along very well with my family here so we're going to have a nice Aussie BBQ for him before he leaves.

I was wondering if I would get anything signed but I don't think I'll ask, I don't want to be one of 'those' guys. If I was to ask him to sign anything it would be my Long Way Round book.

It's funny, my cousin took him to a football game on Saturday night (Aussie Rules Football) and Ewan put it up on his twitter account...local media went absolutely nuts.

Is it an official something, or just someone did this on their own?

I don't care one way or the other. Star Wars isn't Sci-Fi. Sci-Fi is for nerds who watch movies with calculators.

Seriously, awesome. I don't think he liked the prequels, so why worry about pretending that you do.

I'd ask him if he tried to coach the other actors to deal with Lucas's pathetic directing.. and if he knew at the time that he'd be the only actor who would come away from the prequels without them harming his career.. Then I'd ask him of he's given any thought to doing a Long Way Round Australia.. and if so, does he need a personal ball washer for the trip.

Disney Shuts Down LucasArts, Cancels Star Wars 1313 And Star Wars: First Assault

Staff were informed of the shutdown this morning, according to a reliable Kotaku source. Some 150 people were laid off, and both of the studio's current projects-Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313-were cancelled. Disney will still use the LucasArts name to license games, but the studio is no more.

Hypothetically, the company could license First Assault or 1313 to a different developer, but those would be different games entirely.

"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games," LucasArts parent company LucasFilm said in a statement. "As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."

This comes after weeks and months of rumors involving the studio, which was acquired by Disney last fall. In September, LucasArts put a freeze on all hiring and product announcements, which many staff saw as the beginning of the end. Today, it's official: the longrunning studio is no more.

The company was acquired as part of a mega-merger last year where Disney acquired LucasFilm and its sibling company from Lucas. Maniac Mansion, one of LucasArts' first self-published titles, introduced the "SCUMM" game engine driving several well known point-and-click adventure titles the company published throughout the 1990s. The Secret of Monkey Island, created by Ron Gilbert and co-written by Tim Schafer (both now at Double Fine), is one of the publisher's best-known graphical adventures using the engine.

The publisher's apogee was certainly in the 1990s, when a wave of Star Wars-themed titles for the PC-such as Dark Forces, X-Wing and Rebel Assault-were supplemented by games like the strategy title Afterlife, the Sam & Max series, and Schafer's Full Throttle.

In the 2000s, the company became more reliant on its Star Wars products and licenses sold to other developers as new efforts like Fracture failed to take hold. The decade's most notable successes-Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Battlefront-were both externally developed, by BioWare and Pandemic Studios, respectively. LucasArts' last title to see mainstream success was 2008's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. A 2010 sequel didn't live up to expectations. The last game published by LucasArts was Kinect Star Wars for the Xbox 360 last year, a game widely panned by critics.

Hopefully Disney gets other developers to make some good stuff and we see a new Battlefront before the new trilogy comes out.

RIP, crafters of a very large percentage of my childhood.








... this is, again, probably a good move. They hadn't put out anything but shoddy half-done games banking on the Star Wars logo in quite some time. Force Unleashed (both of them, the second most of all) was a massive disappointment, pretty much every prequel movie shootoff blew. The last worth-the-money game I think they released was Mercenaries.

Now throw some money at Totally Games and get Larry Holland back in the game. Come on, Disney. You know you want to.

Every time I see that gif, the black glove on Hamill's right hand (but not on his left hand) freaks me out.

I think this gif is from A New Hope so he is just wearing the glove for flying purposes versus hiding his robo-hand.

It's definitely from IV, and that's my point. It's eerie foreshadowing.
