Maul Lives on in The Clone Wars This Spring

Followers of the Clone Wars series have known for months that Darth Maul was teased last season as brother of Savage Opress. With the return Episode I to theatres in 2012, Lucasfilm is cashing in on the obvious tie-in and is announcing that Maul will at last be revealing himself to the Jedi (again, and shirtless) in the Clone Wars in 2012. We don’t yet know how he managed to survive being defeated by Obi-Wan but one thing’s for sure, it will make for some interesting episodes. Head to USA Today and Entertainment Weekly for their exclusive reports on the news.

New Complete Saga Blu-ray Changes Leaked

There are rumors swirling about that rips of the Blu-rays have leaked on to the internet and with that, comes word of new CGI and audio/SFX alterations made to the Original Trilogy (for the better or worse depending on your point of view). None so far seem to be as controversial as swapping Sebastian Shaw’s head for Hayden Christensen’s in Return of the Jedi, or Greedo shooting first in A New Hope, but the changes are changes none the less.

Time to break out those VHS tapes I guess.
