The Art Of Star Wars Why are some Christians threatened by Harry Potter, but not Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.?
Each is fiction, each extremely popular, and each utilizes a form of the dark arts or sorcery within the storytelling.
Although, the same could be argued for Christianity.
because harry potter uses "witch craft".
when i was younger, people tried to force me to read the harry potter books, but i didnt want to because i though they were too long, so i pretended it was aganist my religion, and told everyone i wasnt allowed to read them, even though that wasnt true.
Enjoy Sydney's Festivals, Arts and Culture All Year Round
From its spectacular New Year's fireworks to its stunning harbour setting, Sydney is truly one of the world's most attractive cities and it's no wonder that Sydney has long been a popular destination for travellers in Australasia and beyond. Whether you're keen to enjoy the warm weather ‘down under’ when it's winter in the UK, or if you simply want to make a getaway during your summer holidays, Sydney offers a variety of arts, entertainment and sports events to cater for every tourist's taste.
As Australia's largest city, Sydney offers a wide range of cultural attractions. The most visited parts of the city are, of course, its most iconic landmarks: the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. However, Sydney holds an array of other popular attractions that should not be overlooked if you're visiting the city. Sydney Tower, for example, is the city's tallest free-standing structure at 305 metres high, and its observation deck offers visitors staggering views across the city.
Furthermore, Sydney has a dedicated artistic tradition; a range of Australia's best artistic companies hail from the city, including Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Dance Company and Sydney Theatre Company. Sydney is also famous for its distinct gay community, which centres on Oxford Street and plays host to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras every year.
In fact, the Mardi Gras is only one of Sydney's numerous annual festivals. Every January, the city stages the Sydney Festival, which has been Australia's largest and most popular cultural festival since its inception in 1976. Its annual programme includes over 50 free events which span across a range of genres: from classical and contemporary music to dance, drama, circus events and public lectures. Attracting around 1.5 million people every year, the Sydney Festival truly captures the spirit of what makes Sydney such a great city to visit.
Sydney is also home to the Sydney Film Festival; moreover, since the opening of Fox Studios in Sydney in 1998, the city has become steadily more prevalent on cinema screens around the world. Famous movies that have been filmed in the city include Mission Impossible II, The Matrix, Moulin Rouge and the last two instalments of the Star Wars franchise.
Travellers hoping to see something of Australia's history while in Sydney will not be disappointed with the variety of museums in the city. The biggest are the Australian Museum (a centre for natural history and anthropology), the Powerhouse Museum, which showcases exhibits on science, technology and design, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Australian National Maritime Museum.
If you live in Britain, you're sure to be able to find plenty of flights to Sydney on a daily basis throughout the year. So whether you're keen to enjoy the warm weather ‘down under’ when its winter in the UK, or simply want to take a break to the Emerald City during your summer holidays, you'll always be able to find a suitable way to travel to Sydney.

While I realize that many parallels have already been made (some by George Lucas himself) between Star Wars and westerns, I think Star Wars reimagined for the Old West would be pretty sweet. I realize that would be similar to the Steampunk shown, but I think it would still be a cool departure. I think my love of Firefly definitely has an influence on wanting western era Star Wars. While we're at it, western era Star Trek: TNG would be sweet as well.
I don’t know what you are talking about. There was no phantom menace, clone Wars, or revenge of anything…..this is only a **hope** to **strike back** one day and **return** to a former glory that was Star Wars.
well you obviously seemed to care if you took the time out of your day to comment back. And Im not crying just pissed of that the game is not what it could have been
when i see a DL countdown get below 1min i always think of Star Wars right before the Y-Wing blew up "Almost there" "Stay on target!"

I have played almost every single Star Wars game from Dark Forces to Star Wars Galaxies. I have seen all the movies.
I have played First Strike alot.
I can say that this is simply the best Star Wars game ever made.
Although not perfect, It is the highest quality, most immersive, realistic, and accurate Star Wars game of them all.
You feel you are in the movies more than any other Star Wars game ever made.
