Posted 3/19/12 6:00 pm EST by Laurel Woods in Movies, Star Wars, Toys, Woodsy's World of Star Wars
So I did a post last month on previewing the Scene It Star Wars game coming out this fall and now they have just released a teaser trailer to show us Jedis what we'll be looking forward to!
Just in case you missed it, here again are the game details:
From the Battle of Naboo to the birth of Luke Skywalker, from the rise of Darth Vader to the fall of the Galactic Empire - Scene It? Star Wars delivers hours of fun spanning the complete Star Wars film saga. As one of the engaging new puzzle types introduced in this landmark title, the “Jedi Archives” challenges players to solve puzzles utilizing behind-the- scenes film assets, from storyboards, production stills, concept art and more. The Force will need to be with fans as they try to solve the “Finish the Line” puzzles, which task Star Wars devotees to complete key dialogue from the films. The “Imperial Listening Post” incorporates the fantastic sound effects of Star Wars, as players endeavor to identify the iconic hum of lightsabers, or the inspiration of Chewbacca’s signature voice. Emulating R2-D2’s famous projector, “Holonet Disruptions” presents clues in holographic projections, as first depicted in the original Star Wars.

Toy Fair 2012: My Interview with Underground Toys and Their Star Wars Plushies!!
Posted 2/21/12 2:30 pm EST by Laurel Woods in Star Wars, Toy Fair, Toys, Woodsy's World of Star Wars
So some of you may remember my interview at last year's NY Toy Fair with the fabulous Robyn from Underground Toys. She gave us the scoop on all their fabulous Star Wars plush toys and we got the special preview of their 24" plush Chewie, which was a HUGE HIT in my office this past year. It literally brought tears of joy to many an MTV employee!! This year Underground Toys has even more cool stuff to show us, including these ball plush toys AND keychain size toys like Jawa! I squeezed the Jawa and it immediately screamed UTINNI at me!! I think that's my favorite Star Wars soundboard bite ever.

Yet Another Star Wars Volkswagen Superbowl Ad!!
Posted 2/6/12 1:40 pm EST by Laurel Woods in Movies, Star Wars, Woodsy's World of Star Wars
Ok so as many of you may know, I'm not necessarily the biggest football fanatic. I mean I'm originally from Los Angeles and they haven't had a team in years! I had to dodge several Superbowl party invites and ended up at a local bar with some friends, drinking wine and watching the game. I played Words With Friends during the game and eagerly awaited the commercials. Remember last year when there was that amazing VW commercial with the kid Darth Vader? And once again, thanks to Lucasfilm and Volkswagen, I was NOT disappointed! Step aside, Madonna!
Ok, I mean how FRAKKING cute is that dog in the latest commercial? And shame on that owner for letting that sweet precious angel get overweight like that in the first place!
This commercial made the game for me and how real is that cantina scene??? LOVE IT.
Ok and now I'm super pumped for Phantom Menace 3D coming out this Friday!!! woo hoo!

Star Wars Author Dan Wallace's "Book of Sith" Released February 10th! Trailer and Exclusive Image!
Posted 1/26/12 12:30 pm EST by Laurel Woods in Movies, Star Wars, Woodsy's World of Star Wars
MTV Geek's favorite Star Wars author Dan Wallace is coming out with yet another book, "Book of Sith," on February 10th! The release coincides with the release of YOU-KNOW-WHAT 3D, right? I first met Dan at New York Comic Con 2010 when I interviewed him about his book "Jedi Path" and he's been my fave ever since! I saw Dan again at last year's NYCC and he gave us a sneak peak demo of "Book of Sith" and this book is equally cool! Dan even took time out of his busy day to give me a quick Sith lesson.
