Hey all! As I am sure some of the regular readers of The Flickcast have noticed, my favorite part of the Con season is taking pics at them. Unfortunately, due to some professional responsibilities, I was only able to get down to one day of WonderCon this year.
But because my time was limited, I didn’t waste it on panels and the like. Instead I hit the floor with camera in hand and got as many pics of the Wondercon sights as I could.
While WonderCon doesn’t have the size of San Diego or New York Comic Con, the fans there weren’t any less fervent with their cosplay love. This year I saw a lot of new and original costumes I had not seen before. While a pimped out Boba Fett was present, I also saw for the first time Paper Mario as well as a group of female X-Man villains. Alongside the working R2 units, there was a life sized Wall-E that sadly the picture doesn’t do justice as it captured all of the personality of the movie and brought it to life in front of us all.

Ever since the beginning of the motion gaming movement we have been waiting for a game that lets us slice and dice with a lightsaber. Finally that dream is becoming a reality with the brand new game Star Wars Kinect, a motion based game that puts you in the Jedi army during the thick of the clone wars.
This game was originally meant to be released last year, but a release date has finally been confirmed for the long awaited project, April 3rd. And to celebrate the release a special edition Kinect bundle pack is being released with a 320GB R2-D2 themed 360, a C3-PO gold controller, a white Kinect and of course the game as well.
Additionally more details about what we can expect in the game have been released, including the new Duels of the Fate mode which pits you one-on-one against Sith baddies, cool. Also a Galactic Dance-Off where you can take on Darth Vader Dance Central style, much less cool.

With the impeding release of Paul, featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, it’s a good time to check in and see if the pair of Brit funnymen have anything else to offer this week. It should be no surprise that they do.
It should also be no surprise, that is if you’ve been following their careers, that the boys have a love for all-things sci-fi and for Star Wars in particular. If you’ve never seen their show Spaced, you should. It will give you a great idea what I’m talking about.
In the meantime, we’ve got a very funny video from College Humor featuring the twosome doing their best Star Wars imitations of R2-D2 and C-3PO. It looks like this video was done during the making of Paul and is definitely worth checking out.
So, to that end, check out the video after the jump. Paul opens this Friday.

Enjoy. For our other photos from the Con, go here, here and here. Check out all of John’s photos after the jump.
