As much as we love Star Wars here at The Flickcast it isn’t such a sacred series of films that it can’t be parodied. In fact, it’s got a long history of people making a bit of fun out of it, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Just like there’s nothing wrong with a good porn parody. In fact, that’s just what filmmkaer Axel Braun has done with his latest film. He’s combined these two things and made a porn parody of Star Wars. To help illustrate just how these two things can go together, we’ve got a teaser for his latest opus for you today.

Although it doesn’t show any sex, it does still manages to be pretty amusing. In fact, some of the visual effects and sets are not even that bad. It’s obvious Braun is a fan and took the time to do things right (or as right as needed), even if he’s actually making an adult film.

Check it out after the break. No, it isn’t NSFW — at least not yet. The next trailer? Who knows.

For just over 20 years, former Skywaker Mark Hamill has made more of a name for himself in the comic book world than he ever did in the first three Star Wars films by becoming the definitive voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series.

From TAS to Justice League, Birds of Prey, and just about any other animated incarnation of The Joker there has ever been, Hamill has literally been the only man to be best known as the voice of The Joker, past Nicholson and Ledger.

Now, Hamill returns for one last (hopefully not) appearance as the Clown Prince of Crime in the sequel to the successful video game Batman: Arkham Asylum. This time, Batman is on the prowl in the whole city, and Hamill’s Joker is ready to take him on. Again.

We also got to talk with Hamill about the possibility of voicing his favorite Joker storyline, which is Alan Moore’s “The Killing Joke”.

Check out exactly what Hamill had to say about the role and his history with the character after the jump, and be sure to grab Batman: Arkham City in stores on October 18th.

In case you missed it, yesterday was International Star Wars Day. To commemorate the event or, in some cases, dash the hopes of nerds everywhere, Lucasfilm took the opportunity to announce the full details of the Strar Wars Saga’s impending release on Blu-ray.

Before you bother to read on hoping for some good news, I will save you the suspense. The original, unmodified original trilogy will NOT be in this collection.

Yes, that’s right, if we want to watch Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in their original, non-Lucas tinkered with versions, we will just have to keep watching those “Definitive Collection” THX Laserdiscs. I’ve got mine, how about you?

However, if you don’t care about how things should be and, instead, want to keep rewarding George Lucas with money for fucking up his own movies, feel free to read on and get all the details.

The six films of the Saga are accompanied by three discs of extras totaling over 40 hours of material – some new, some old. Here’s the full press release from Lucasfilm.

While it may be a few decades late, Star Wars has now become a fashion statement of sorts, with Adidas branding the film series for a line of shoes. As much as we’d love for these to make it onto our Holiday Gift Idea list, they won’t be hitting the retail shelves until January 2010.

With the new line, you can show off your support of the Empire or the Rebellion in style. From what we’ve seen in the preview of next year’s line, the following shoes will be split into three packs – Characters, Vehicles, and the Direct Pack.

Characters Pack
This pack takes the most iconic moments and characters from the Star Wars saga and brings them to life across five sneakers, two short sleeve T-shirts and the Superstar Track Top.

Vehicles Pack
For this pack, we have taken inspiration from the well known vehicles and crafts from the Star Wars saga and translated them to our five most iconic adidas Originals sneakers and two key adidas Originals apparel models. Across these models we have paid homage to the distinguished features of airborne crafts and land based vehicles from both sides of the Force and executed them to appeal to both adidas and Star Wars fans alike.
