ATTENTION Star Wars fans that own iPads.
DROP what you’re doing now and get this App.
And yes
IT’S FREE!
Long story short is you get videos/concept art and amazing content that is on the upcoming BluRay set (coming Sep 2011).
And yes it’s free.
Not this isn’t the movies themselves, this is the ‘extra’ content (not deleted scenes) but stuff that we’ve still never seen before.
One great video we just watched was about how the model builders built the Utapau model.
For Episode IV there is an amazing video about the holo-chess figures..(you know the stuff on the Falcon..) just amazing.
Who doesn’t love the holo-chess. All stop-motion stuff…who knew?

We all know that Ashoka has to go…
She doesn’t existing in Star Wars ANH (or III for that matter).
At some point she disappears…
or dies.
In an interview this week, Clone Wars show chief Dave Filoni told ComicCon conf goes that,
“”I’ve done eight different endings for her. I’ll be talking to George about it soon,” said Filoni.
That’s right Ashoka fans…she’s going bye, bye.
Meantime lots to look forward too in Clone Wars Season 4 hard to believe that this series has been on the air for three years already.
Let’s hope it stays on for a few more…

After 35 yrs of Star Wars it’s hard for us to believe that there are still deleted scenes that have never been seen before…
Apparantly the upcoming BluRay will have just that…
Rise of The Planet of the Apes – so it wasn’t a nuclear war that killed off humans? July 19, 2011

add a comment
We always kinda/sorta thought that humans had caused the destruction that led to humanity’s decline in the original Planet of the Apes. After all, most of the planet is buried and even the Statue of Liberty was partially destroyed.
Now along comes the new prequel – Rise of the Planet of the Apes and sure we have Caesar the first ape..but..
he’s the one that helps to destroy humanity? does Caesar’s apes nuke us? or…?
I guess we’ll mostly have to wait until August 5th when this movie is out…and YES this is one prequel that we’re excited about.
Dark Knight Rises -is this the movie version of Dark Knight Returns? July 18, 2011

add a comment
Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns is our fav caped crusader tale of all time (with Killing Joke a close second). It’s a future era of Batman (not quite the ultra futuristic Batman Beyond) but a cool Batman that is old and (dead) tired.
The first real trailer for Batman Rises looks like it is borrowing from that epic tail as Batman in the future faces his final test and the Dark Knight Returns for one last (mega million dollar) movie.

kinda cool stuff..though the robot now is slow and not nearly as fast as it could be (or should be).
Still..it’s interesting to see how video game hardware can be leverage to create a (potentially) killer robot arm.

WARNING!! THQ Star Wars iOS Games are all DEAD July 4, 2011

add a comment
We just got a new iOS Apple device and of course one of the first things we wanted to do was to find some good scifi games..
Our first stop was a search for Star Wars where we found Falcon Gunner…that’s right you get to to sit in the gun pod for the millenium falcon!
Well you should ..but the game crashes every 2 mins making the game unplayable. So we went to the game dev, THQ to see WTF is goin on…turns out THQ isn’t legally supposed to be selling any Star Wars games at this point…their license with Lucas has expired.
Why Falcon Gunner is still in the appstore? Who knows but those nerf herders stole$2.99 from us!

Star Wars Jedi The Dark Side is a great comic book series June 29, 2011
Posted by showmescifi in ShowMeSciFi.com.Tags: Dark Horse, jedi, qui gon jinn, scifi, tahl, xanatos
add a comment
Now that Dark Horse has finished off Legacy..we’ve been looking at new series…
First up is Jedi the Dark Side… Now the art isn’t what we typically like..but after reading the first two issues it has started to grow on us.
Qui Gon is the central character but he’s not the jedi of episode one and he sure likes to yell at his padawan..Xanatos.
The Jedi librarian character Tahl is really interesting too as she comes off As the wise jedi master..
Where will this series go? What will happen to Xanatos? We know Qui Gon gets Obi Wan as a padawan at some point and a master only gets one padawan..
Fall scifi shows on big U.S. Networks are really thin June 29, 2011

add a comment
Not a whole lot of great TV shows for scifi fans to look forward to this fall on the big U.S. Networks
This is all we currently see of any real interest..
Friday, 9/23 – 9/8c Fringe, FOX
Friday, 9/23 – 9/8c Supernatural, The CW
Monday, 9/26 – 8/7c Terra Nova, FOX
Terra Nova could be a real winner if FOX doesn’t kill it prematurely… The only other show that should be back is V on ABC though we have yet to see an official date on that.

Who doesn’t love Shatner? The dude has become a caricature of himself in recent years…in a new series called Shatnerpalooza he takes it even further by interviewing every star trek captain.
Check out the clip below where he interviews Voyager’s Janeway..and she claims she had never heard of him before…aye Aye captain!
Star Wars : Fate of the Jedi : Conviction. 1 word review – TERRIBLE! June 28, 2011
Posted by showmescifi in ShowMeSciFi.com.Tags: fate of the jedi, jedi, Luke Skywalker, scifi, sith, Star Wars

This series started off alright but this is the worst book yet ….
As opposed to the last book – Fate of the Jedi Vortex – which was AWESOME, this book has a few interesting moments but for the most part it just drags on…
and on..
and on…..
and on…
So here’s the spoiler for you…Tahiri is convicted (the conviction on the cover), Chief of State Natasi is overthrown in a coup and then they both get sent to the same prison and both escape. In the meantime Abeloth is cornered and escapes..the Keshiri Sith are cornered and escape too.
and oh yeah Luke is the grandmaster of the Jedi again.
in between that..nothing happens, the plot is boring and pedantic and were it not for the fact that we knew it had to lead somewhere we would have put this book down midway for lack of anything interesting going on.
Yes this book advances the plot, so yes if like us, you’ve become hooked on the Fate of the Jedi, you will read it. But just don’t expect to enjoy it as much as Vortex.

Bioware’s trailers for Star Wars The old Republic are better than all three of the prequels…and this year at E3 they kicked it up a notch with The Return.
After 1,000 years the Sith return to Korriban and our fav new Sith Darth Malgus ( from deceived) is front and center.
Star Wars Legacy War # 6 REVIEW June 4, 2011

wow
Just wow.
What an amazing finale to an amazing series.
Cade chooses the light and drives his lightsaber through Darth Krayt
cade’s mom saves cade with a family pic
Roan Fel dies..
The galaxy is ruled by a triumvirate of empire, alliance and jedi..
Oh and Cade? Back to being a pirate….
This is an ending that solves most of the loose ends..and is a real ending…..
Sure the sith will come back one day…but for now everything has been settled. From begining to the end Legacy has been the best Star Wars comic of all time and one of the best stories in the entire cannon.
Briiliant storytelling, matched with glorious artwork combined to deliver an experience that we will dearly miss.
And yes we will miss Cade…..but somehow, we don’t think we’ve seen the last of him yet…

The Doctor’s Wife
What an interesting twist.. We’ve never seen the tardis personified before have we?
Having the message cubes as a lure was also a neat trick…and you just gotta love the humor….
700 years and the Doctor has never read the front of his own box….pull, NOT push the door open!
But why call the episode the doctor’s wife? Isn’t dr song the doctor’s wife? Is she somehow also the soul of the tardis?

This week will see the END
THE FINALE
(there ain’t NO MORE)
of the greatest SciFi comic book series of all time.
After 56 issues (50 regular and 6 Legacy War), Star Wars Legacy is coming to a close with Star Wars Legacy: War #6. We don’t think that Dark Horse will be extending beyond this (but hey those FRAKKING DOUCHE BAGS have done this to us before).
Legacy coming to an end…will Cade survive? Will Darth Krayt? Cade’s mom has gotta be toast? Will Roan Fel emerge as the new emperor? Will the galaxy be united?
There are so many questions and so many sub-plots in play, we don’t know HOW Dark Horse can wrap this up in one issue. In any event, Legacy writers and artists, John Ostrander in particular has never disappointed us and we can hardly wait to pick this book up.
Doctor Who : The Curse of the Black Spot – Sirens are Emergency Medical Holograms… May 23, 2011
Posted by showmescifi in ShowMeSciFi.com.Tags: Amy Pond, Black Spot, doctor who, Matt Smith, science fiction, scifi, sirens
add a comment
From the ‘Ancient Mysteries Solved by SciFi‘ files:
The legend of the mermaid sirens that lured sailors to their doom is an ancient one. We’ve never seen it properly treated in a SciFi show…until now. The Curse of the Black Spot gave us a unique viewpoint on this ancient myth.
Transdimensional mirrors and emergency medical holograms…
Go figure.
Definitely an interesting idea…though there were a few minor holes in the story. For example, a simple cut meant that a person needed medical treatment? really? unless of course the system knew the cut would lead to tetanus or something…
And SUUUUUUUUUUUUREE a 16th century English pirate can pilot a starship yeah…
Beyond that..a really solid episode that made us think and that’s why we watch Doctor Who. It’s a show with great actors and fantastic plots that challenges our conventional ways of thinking with new ideas.

E 
We are still DISGUSTED by the FRAKKING IDIOTS at SyFy for cancelling this show..
but first let us lament the best of the best.
Eli.
From the very first episode to now — the very last, Eli has been our favorite character.
He’s the guy we all associate with, the game player that never lived up to expectation..kinda like the Last Starfighter, only a heck of alot smarter.
Eli is the man that figured out the final chevron.
Eli is the one that figure out how to pilot through the blue star
Eli is the one that figured it was better to run than to fight.
And it is only fitting that he is the last man standing.
SGU was a fine show, the last 10 episodes were among the best Stargate episodes in any version of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis or otherwise. There is more story to tell and more life left is this franchise.
Apparently SyFy would rather broadcast wrestling and mixed martial arts than SciFi.
We suggest that all SyFy subscribers cancel their subscription to the channel – since it doesn’t support SciFi any more.
Fringe is on FOX.
Doctor Who is on BBC America.
And when Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome come on – you can just buy it on iTunes. No need to support the FRAKKERS that cancelled SGU is there?
