If you can't get into a theatre to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens this weekend, maybe you'd enjoy seeing the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.

Google "Star Wars Fan Theories" and you will find an endless supply of reddits, sub-reddits and Buzzfeed rip-offs of reddits. I'm not saying no one in the entire Star Wars fandom has ever thought anything similar to what I'm about to tell you. But, to my knowledge, these are all original ideas and not Buzzfed from other people.

While the world is talking about "The Force Awakens", the geniuses at Bad Lip Reading are bringing the original Star Wars back into conversation with their latest creation.

When you’re out promoting a movie, you’re often asked to do a lot of things, most of them pretty silly. With the amount of press the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was being asked to do, there were asked to do a lot of silly things, none perhaps as silly as going on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and singing a medley of Star Wars music a cappella. But the entire cast — including Harrison Ford! — actually commits, and it actually turns out to pretty fun.

The original Star Wars was driven by nostalgia for pulp magazines, Saturday-morning serials, and a simpler era with clear-cut heroes and villains. The new Star Wars is driven by nostalgia for the original Star Wars, and a simpler era when that title evoked words like “adventure” and “excitement,” and not words like “the taxation of trade routes,” and “Jar Jar Binks.” The characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens are all searching for something of great importance to the galaxy far, far away. I won’t reveal what this MacGuffin is, but I will tell you what it represents: that old Star Wars magic. Can director J.J. Abrams and the rest of the saga’s new creators find it?

Before he was Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Oscar Isaac was Oscar Hernandez, a high school kid growing up in Delray Beach, Florida who, like many high school kids, played in a local band. Being the mid-90s, ska-punk was making a resurgence (anyone remember Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake?) and Isaac, a singer, guitarist and bassist, was a big part of the local scene with his bands, The Worms and Blinking Underdogs. Whereas video of most of our crappy high school bands remains buried forever, Oscar Isaac is in the new Star Wars movie, so we did some digging and found video from 1996 of one of his sets at Ray’s Downtown Blues in West Palm Beac

Ten ways (some embarrassing) that my love of Star Wars has changed my life.

Well, I guess quite a few people will be going nutty for Star Wars this weekend. This is for people who want to take that to the next level.

At long last, the screenings of Star Wars: the Force Awakens have begun to gradually trickle down through the populace. Last night in Los Angeles, the most beautiful and famous among us had the privilege of bearing witness to J.J. Abrams’ go at a seventh installment of the treasured sci-fi franchise...

A Texas seventh grader was forced to cover up the Star Wars shirt he wore to school last week because the Storm Trooper featured on the shirt had a weapon, he said.

'Star Wars' fans, prepare yourself for a different twist on the Imperial March theme performed by a bunch of screaming goats. Yes, these are the goats you are looking for.

Sure, there are lots of kids and teens buying Star Wars: The Force Awakens toys, but a long, long time ago in a galaxy that is actually this one, Star Wars belonged to another group of nerds — and those nerds are not going to let today’s kids take ownership of their fandom so easily, especially when these kids don’t know that action figures should STAY. IN. THE. BOX.
