      One of the biggest "Star Wars" fans in the galaxy used 30,000 LEGO pieces - and a little bit of the Force - to create a masterpiece. Florida teacher Jay Hoff toiled for six months creating a 6-foot-by-6-foot replica of a scene from "Return of the Jedi," where the Emperor lands on the uncompleted Death Star to inspect Darth Vader's progress.

      Photographer and Star Wars fan Avanaut shot this incredible series of SW toys, which look less like toys in the snow than like highly artistic film stills. They’re really beautiful, and impressive not only because they’re toys(!) but because clearly Avanaut has a well-trained eye for his craft.

      The humming drone of a Jedi's lightsaber. The high-frequency pops of a Stormtrooper's laser blaster. The warbling bleeps and bloops of an R2 unit. All unmistakable sounds from the Star Wars series. In the more than 30 years since A New Hope's 1977 release, these and other iconic sound effects from George Lucas' classic science fiction franchise have transformed into what Ben Burtt, the series' sound designer, calls "audio folklore."

      Last night, a few hundred Jedi enthusiasts crammed into Washington Square Park for a giant Lightsaber Battle. There were demonstrations of proper lightsaber technique, people dressed as Sith Lords, lots of children and various non-Star Wars characters, including zombies, ninjas and even a Pikachu, all partaking in the fun. There was even some under-the-radar lightsaber battle betting going on.

      The battle over space has raged between two great factions for decades. Thousands of people have spent their lives fighting in this war, defending their views and arguing their position as rightful masters of the universe. Blood has been spilt, families have been torn apart and lives have been lost to this great conflict. No, I’m not talking about the United States vs. Russia.

      While the word "shock" probably isn't the best way to describe the news given that we're talking about, you know, "Star Wars" here, 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm have announced that the nine-disc "Complete Saga" Blu-ray of the series has broken sales records in only its first week, with over a million copies sold around the world (that's $84 million in spending globally) and 500,000 in North America alone. This makes it the bestselling catalog title in the history of the Blu-ray format, which has been available to the general public since June 2006.

      Something's fishy in Lucas Land! Season four of Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Warskicks off Friday with the first two parts of a gorgeously animated three-episode story set underwater on the planet Mon Calamari. "It's a massive undertaking for us with some of the most ambitious battle sequences we've ever staged in this series," says supervising director Dave Filoni. The plot finds our heroes trying to protect a young prince whose father was assassinated and includes a new badass shark character named Riff Tamsen. "He's a brute force, big-time personality — our homage to Jaws!" Filoni says with a laugh.
