Star Wars NewsIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullThis year at ShoWest, we got the rare opportunity to chat with George Lucas about his upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars theatrical release. It's a project he seems quite enthusiastic about. And hopeful. He truly believes that it will restore faith in certain longtime audience members who have maybe given up on that particular franchise. Even if it doesn't, he really doesn't seem to care either way, though. Why? "It's not that you can't please everyone. It's that you can't please anyone. I learned that long ago." That, and he knows he has another, bigger problem to worry about this summer. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He's already built an imaginary bomb shelter over his head. Because he knows people aren't going to like it by default. "Force" is with Star Wars hero Kenny Popular actor Kenny Baker is back meeting and greeting fans just weeks after he nearly died on a flight from America. But despite preparing for another appearance, the 3ft 8in Star Wars film hero insists he is taking life easier. Star Wars: "The Empire Strikes Barack" Starring Barack Obama as Luke Skywalker and Hillary Clinton as Darth Vader. The Force unleashes Darth Vader When Darth Vader showed up as “the banker” on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal,” you could hear the groans among the “Star Wars” fan community. Maybe this will make up for that egregious sellout: In the upcoming game “The Force Unleashed,” for PS3 and Xbox 360, Vader will be a playable character for the opening level. The main thrust of the game’s narrative has Vader training an apprentice. But project leader Haden Blackman says the opener has Vader on a mission to hunt down a Jedi on the planet Kashyyyk. Harrison Ford As Indiana Jones Headlines Summer Action Movies Harrison Ford was much younger the last time he played action hero Indiana Jones. The role is once again Ford's, and little has changed in his enthusiasm for the part. Indiana Jones will be headlining a summer filled with action movie releases. Chances are, that the wait for the public may have been worth it for the new Indiana Jones movie, according to producer George Lucas and Director Steven Spielberg. Your Lightsabers Will Make A Fine Addition To My Collection One of the coolest new characters introduced in the newer Star Wars epics (that would be I through III) has to be the four lightsaber-wielding cyborg, General Grievous. Sports Jedi A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... George Lucas created a movie called "Star Wars." Heard of it, you may have? After watching the original "Star Wars" for the first time in years I thought to myself, which athletes are most like the Jedis? I immediately chose golfers because of the mental challenges they face each and every hole, 18 holes a day, for four full days. Princess Leia hints at Han Solo affair The actress - who is best known for her role as Princess Leia in three Star Wars movies - has suggested she got very close to Ford while they were filming the sci-fi trilogy, after decades of rumours. Appearing on forthcoming British TV show Bring back ... Star Wars, she said: "I went on the film saying, 'I'm going to have an affair', like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit - because I had never had one."

Top Notch films at MC The fourth of the Indiana Jones series ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ is slated to be released from May 22. Steven Spielberg's adventure film story co-written by George Lucas is set in 1957 and pits an older and wiser Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) against agents of the Soviet Union-led by Spalko (Cate Blanchett)-for the crystal skull. Indy is aided by his former lover Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), the greaser Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) and fellow archaeologist Mac (Ray Winstone). John Hurt, Jim Broadbent, and Ian McDiarmid also play fellow academics. Natalie Portman Gets Behind the Camera Keeping herself busy in the Big Apple, Natalie Portman was spotted directing her short movie “New York, I Love You”. Meanwhile, Portman has also been cast to star in a new big-screen version of Wuthering Heights, adapted from Emily Bronte’s classic novel. HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN - BILSON + CHRISTENSEN RETEAM FOR NEW YORK LOVE STORY Hollywood couple HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN and RACHEL BILSON have reteamed on the big screen again - a year after falling in love while making JUMPER. The pair has been coy about the romance, but Christensen and Bilson have confirmed they're dating. And now they're playing co-stars again in all-star movie New York, I Love You, in which brunette Bilson is almost unrecognisable as a blonde. Now Playing: Deception The movie begins with an almost fantasy-like plot that any man would dream of being a part of. Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman star in this exotic, psychological thriller that is filled with lies and deceit. Jackman's character, Wyatt, befriends McGregor's character, Mike Cunnerary. Wyatt is a successful lawyer that wants to show Cunnerary the richer side of life, filled with beautiful women and money.  News archiveprevious Star Wars News stories
