If you've never checked out the captions on SW.com, it's pretty funny, as this recent one.

Any fans of Dane Cook out there? I've actually never seen him perform, but I hear people talking about him all the time. SW.com has a funny article about his love of Star Wars here.

Here's him talking about an upcoming movie,

He also just wrapped production on the romantic comedy Good Luck, Chuck with Jessica Alba, in which he found himself showing his Star Wars pride on the set.

"For the film I shot around 25 moments for a montage that happens between my character and Jessica Alba who I'm courting in the film," Cook says. "In the shots we spend a lot of time talking to each other on the phone in the movie. It's a lot of laughing and us reacting to each other. So you're going to see me for a series of shots talking but you're not going to hear what I'm saying because of the music. Every time they rolled camera, the director Mark Helfrich would be like, 'Okay, Dane I need you to just laugh a little bit and be touched by what she's saying but just be talking about something.'" "So whether I was making pancakes or brushing my teeth in the montage shot, you won't know it watching in the audience, but I'm totally just saying fun facts about Star Wars," Cook laughs. "I'm driving and smiling and it looks like I'm flirting with Jessica, but I'm really talking about Jawas and how they live on Tatooine. In every single shot I'm going on and on about Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, or R2-D2 or Luke.

Hopefully on the DVD release of the film, for the extras we'll pull the montage music off and play in order all the montage moments when I was talking about Star Wars. It'll be funny to see me fixing my hair in the mirror as I'm getting ready for my date with Jessica's character and I'm telling the mirror, 'Force is strong with this one.' And no one has any clue I'm completely geeking out."

Perhaps in response to TF.n's Force-casts, or maybe even 9mmEd's, StarWars.com has gotten in on the podcast scene. It's not even part of Hyperspace. Check it out here.

Take a look at this October 1978 commercial for Majik Market. When you can't afford Buddy Hackett, this guy'll do.

Here's a cool article about a Coca-Cola Landspeeder that was recently impounded in Cedar Grove, Florida. It's actually a true story, and very interesting.

Is anyone else having problems with StarWars.com? While sites like YouTube work excellently on my computer, most of the video I get from SW is choppy and slow-loading. I've been really disappointed with the half-assed revamp they've done. It's hard to believe considering Lucasfilm's reputation elsewhere in the industry. I like the content on SW.com, but the way it's delivered has been tired for five years and it doesn't seem to be getting better.
