Geeky goodness

Apparently Lucas still has at least a shred of coolness left, since he gave his official stamp of approval to "Star Wars: Shortened!" It's a 20 minute condensed, comedic version of the entire series, commissioned by Sky TV and written/directed by Adam Long of the Reduced Shakespeare Company. I think they filmed it live last week during a one-off in London, and it's supposed to be broadcast this week in Britain on Sky.

Here is a link to a live interview with Long and actor Richard Linson. Also, if you go here you can find a link to "Star Wars in Sixty Seconds", sort of a promo spot.

Hooray, fanboys!
