To conclude the mammoth Star Wars coverage we’ve given you over the past couple of weeks to celebrate the saga’s release on Blu-ray I’ve got something a little random, but hopefully something you’ll find an interest in. This visual trip down memory lane finds us back in 1983 with Return of the Jedi about to [...]
Reviewing this box set when it is out in stores and in all probability snapped up by eager Star Wars fans seems a little unnecessary. The promise of a shiny high def transfer and the long awaited deleted scenes from the Original Trilogy conspire to tempt you to part with your cash once more, to [...]
This may be an exercise in futility, or at least an attempt to distill down a real wealth of material into a fairly artificial concept, however in honour of the Star Wars franchise finally making its way onto Blu-ray, here are my considered nominations for the best set pieces, one per film, of the whole [...]
Paul Bradshaw completes the Original Trilogy Video Vault series. Ah, those blinking Ewoks. A long time ago, 1983 to be exact, Return of the Jedi was loved by critics and fans alike. Grossing more than $475 million worldwide, opening to rave reviews and sell-out audiences, the then third and final chapter of George Lucas’s landmark [...]
Truth be told, there are easier films to revisit than Empire. Not because it isn’t enjoyable to do so (the number of genuinely superior sci-fi films can probably just about be counted on the fingers of one hand), but because pretty much everything that can be said about it has been already. Thus, instead of [...]
LucasFilm has announced that the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray boxset will be released on September 12th around the world and September 16th in the US. The boxset will feature all six films – A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones [...]
Completing their lampooning rampage across the pop culture cornucopia of George Lucas’s original Star Wars trilogy Family Guy: It’s A Trap! is Seth MacFarlane’s take on Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The DVD and Blu-ray of the three special episodes has all the ribald non sequiturs the show is famous for as well as [...]
Olly Moss is a name synonymous with brilliant graphic interpretations of classic films, and his work with the Alamo Drafthouse is a big part of why he is considered one of the foremost graphic artists working today. It is with great pleasure that we’re able to point you to Wired, who had the exclusive on [...]
Previewed at this year’s Comic-Con, the third and final Family Guy Star Wars special is coming to DVD at the end of the year and a few more details have been unveiled. The episode is called Family Guy: It’s A Trap! and is based on the final film of the original trilogy Star Wars: Return [...]
Warwick Davis is a man who has had an acting career spanning over 3 decades. He started acting when his mother put him in to be an extra in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and through various reasons (described in the interview below), he ended up playing the part of Wicket in the movie [...]
We’ve all done it. Anyone who’s a fan of film has integrated film quotes into everyday conversation. It’s all part of pop culture. The film could be one that everyone has seen, or it could be one that falls under the cult status. No matter which part of the spectrum, there are always those films [...]
James Cameron’s Avatar is now certain to become the highest grossing movie of all time, both at the domestic US Box Office and internationally, well, sort of. Factor in inflation and things look a little different. Ed crunches the numbers and finds out if today’s blockbusters are really more popular than their counterparts from yesteryear.
Continuing our pioneering look at movies from reality’s underside, HUG once again connects to her sister site in a parallel universe to bring you the kind of lowdown that would never make it to a hard copy publication on quality control grounds. It’s a place where Western Culture has evolved to allow women to walk [...]
Regular readers will know that HUG is a one stop nexus for all your movie wants but we’re also conscious of the fact that other sites can only provide you with information about the film culture of THIS universe. We strive to do better. Utlilising transdimensional bandwidth, we’ve linked to our sister site in a [...]
On the 13th November 2009, almost 32 years after the legendary Star Wars film was first released in the UK on 27th December 1977, A good friend (who shall remain anonymous) came to my house to watch the Original Holy Trilogy: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi for the first [...]
