Remember the little boy from that Volkswagen Star Wars ad that set the world ablaze during Superbowl XLV where he attempted to use the force while dressed as Darth Vader? Well we're sorry to report that the littlest member of the Dark Side is undergoing open-heart surgery to fix a hole in his heart and have his pulmonary valve replaced.
7 year-old Max Page checked into the Children's Hospital Los Angeles today and according to his mother Jennifer Page, in an interview on NBC's "Today Show" Max is understandably afraid:

A lot of intriguing information regarding the highly-anticipated "Star Wars" TV show in this Den Of Geek interview with Lucasfilm's Rick McCallum, top of which: it's still going to happen, and 50 hours of it is already scripted. What's holding the television program up now has to do with the limits of TV production budgets, and the show's rather adult theme, which the producer referred to as being "like 'Deadwood' in space":
"It so unlike anything you’ve ever associated with George before in relation to Star Wars. These aren’t for kids. I mean, we hope they’ll watch, but it’s not being targeted at 8-to-9 year old boys." Read More...

Well he's been saying it for a while, he's claimed to be "done" with "Star Wars," but now, it's official: George Lucas is retiring from Lucasfilm Ltd., the very Empire company he built from the ground up.
In an official press release from Lucasfilm, Lucas said:
“I’ve spent my life building Lucasfilm and as I shift my focus into other directions I wanted to make sure it was in the hands of someone equipped to carry my vision into the future…”
What that future is, is at the moment uncertain. Is it finally time for George to start making those experimental flicks that he's been talking up for years now? In an interview with the fittingly titled "Empire" magazine, he said:
I'm moving away from the company, I'm moving away from all my businesses, I'm finishing all my obligations and I'm going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies. I've always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters.

So as most of you may or may not know, Course Of The Force, is a five-day lightsaber relay event being held in partnership with Lucasfilm, Ltd., Nerdist Industries and Octagon. The Course of the Force is similar to an Olympic torch style relay, except participants come dressed in their favorite Star Wars™ or popular culture-themed costumes and hand off a custom lightsaber at quarter-mile markers to the next runner. On July 7, Course of the Force will kick off with an event at the Santa Monica Pier at 10:00 a.m. The relay will start later in the day and end that night at the Redondo Beach Pier. Other planned stops include Huntington Beach Pier, Oceanside and Crystal Pier at Pacific Beach. It ends July 11th at San Diego Comic-Con!! Fun right? 100% of all proceeds are going to the awesome Make-A-Wish Foundation. It's being co-hosted by MTV Geek's very own favorite Jedi, Ashley Eckstein and The Nerdist, aka Chris Hardwick.
