Talent shows are anything but fresh and original these days, but every once in a while, and act will generate plenty of genuine interest, either for being really good or really bad. Thankfully, this one is one of the latter ones.

As posted on Britain’s Got Talent official YouTube Channel, these dancing stormtroopers surprised and wowed the jury to progress further into the show with a funny, but impressive demonstration of dance skills. I guess everything IS better with a little dose of Star Wars… especially the Dark Side.

As reported by StarWarsNewsNet quoting Craig Miller, one of the original Star Wars film crew members, George Lucas originally planned for the masked bounty hunter to be one of the main villains in Return of the Jedi. Apparently, the idea got scrapped after Lucas got weary of handling such a huge cinematic project like Star Wars and started cutting down on the number of sequels he would direct.

Craig Miller was quoted as saying:
“When George decided not to make a third trilogy, he completely jettisoned that story line, which is why in the first ten minutes, Boba Fett gets bumped into and falls into the mouth of a giant monster… „

This news comes in the time of fan speculation about a possible return of Boba Fett to the main screens following a theory he survived the fall into the sarlacc pit in the Episode 6. It is no secret plenty of devoted Star Wars fans would love to see the return of this beloved movie villain.

We’ll wait and see.

After Star Wars Day in Pula this past Saturday, guys and girls from Croatian Star Wars fan community, Star Wars Hrvatska, have organised May the 4th celebration at the country’s capital Zagreb. Already known around the country for their imaginative cosplay, the fans showed of their Star Wars colours with pride and made a day out of it.

We may be getting some more photographs and materials from the holiday celebrations, but for now, we’ll just enjoy this short video clip found on Star Wars Hrvatska official Facebook page.

Well, I told you, didn’t I? Few posts ago, when we published the photos of Pinewood Studios’ Star Wars Episode 8 sets, Millennium Falcon was seen as a part of a larger scene including a stairwell and an unusual looking tree.

I suspected these photos might spark fan theories about the nature of the scene and the location within Star Wars Universe. As per usual, Star Wars fan community didn’t disappoint. There are some fan theories already going around, but one video we feel deserves your attention is Star Wars HQ’s video on their official YoutTube Channel which discusses the possible role of the weird tree seen on the set, which according to them, might have much more important role than it would first seem.

What are your feelings? Does this fan theory have any merit? And if so, does it make for an interesting story in your book or is the production going down the wrong path?
Many questions and many theories are being thrown around, but this is what it’s all about. It’s a part of the joy of following one huge film being created.

Perhaps most popular, but certainly most photographed were the members of Croatia’s Star Wars fan club Star Wars Hrvatska, many of who appeared in costumes. Judging by the photographs, city of Pula, with its ancient Roman ruins provided for a perfect backdrop for the event during which many of the participants showed up in full cosplay apparel to the delight of the onlookers.

Leave it to Daily Mail to get some great photographs of the filming sets! As published last night, we’ve given a look at one of the big screen’s most beloved vehicles – Millennium Falcon. This iconic Star Wars vessel was captured on set in Pinewood studios, being built to scale as a part of a larger set. Scene being set up is interesting on its own and will undoubtedly get the fans going about where it could be set and what it represents.

Scene being set up seems intriguing as it clearly doesn’t show any hangars or bays where a space ship ought to be landing… but then again, this particular ship was never the one for text book landings.
