Last night, Jimmy Kimmel had yet another member of the Star Wars franchise in the hot seat. A few weeks ago, it was a dodgy Harrison Ford who took questions from the crowd, and this time it was J.J. Abrams, director of the upcoming Star Wars film, who — for better or worse — took story line suggestions for the new movie from some of Star Wars's, er, biggest fans.
With Mother's Day just around the corner, make sure you don't show up to your parents' house this Sunday empty-handed. If your mom gets her geek on, gift her with something suitable for a mother of dragons (or Whovians or Jedi padawans — she did raise you, after all).
We've got some of the geekiest gifts for Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who fanmoms, plus a special trinket for supermom mathletes.
Boop bee boop . . . phone in need of a new case? The PowerA iPhone 5 cases featuring the dutiful droids of Star Wars may be your only hope. Better yet, in honor of May the 4th (be with you), the tech protection inspired by the space opera's trustiest companions are on sale ($35, originally $40).
The Force is strong with the R2-D2 and gold-plated C-3PO covers. The plastic, reinforced shell will protect your mobile device from falls, nicks, and scratches, but what we're loving most are the raised edges and grooves that make this tech protection look and feel like a droid from a galaxy far, far away.
Today is May 4, otherwise known as Star Wars Day. If you encounter anyone wearing fanboy paraphernalia (though, of course, you're wearing geek gear with pride too) , make sure to greet them properly by saying, "May the fourth be with you!"
We made a Star Trek cake for Captain Picard's birthday, so of course we had to make a sweet treat for May 4 too.
To replicate this fabulous and fairly easy Star Wars cake, take a look at my decorating tips.
Trackpad fingers, ready, Jedis: tomorrow, Saturday, May 4, Her Universe is releasing a new line of dresses and tees exclusively on Hottopic.com. The Japanese Poster Dress and Stormtrooper Dress are perfect to pack for Comic-Con in July.
Get the details on the latest Star Wars dresses and t-shirts in the gallery.
Every year on May 4, fans of droids, Jedis, and galaxies far, far away converge to celebrate clever punnery and all things Star Wars. Give your favorite scoundrels a special ehug with official Star Wars greetings!
From Lando GIFs to party animal R2-D2 to the original crew putting some steaks on the BBQ, the Star Wars website has a commemorative card for all your favorite characters.
Don't listen to vicious attack ads . . . may the fourth be with you! Yeeha!
Harrison Ford has been cagey about being in Star Wars: Episode VII, and now we might know why: he has beef with Chewbacca. Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ford was taking questions from the audience with one instruction: "no Star Wars questions." The audience members kept to that rule, except, well, they were all dressed like Star Wars characters. Wait for the best part at the end, when things got heated between Ford and Chewbacca, because, in Ford's words, "He knows what he did."
For fans of Star Wars wondering if they'll see Harrison Ford in Star Wars: Episode VII, don't get your hopes up. Han Solo himself said that he doesn't see a reunion in the future. Though Harrison doesn't say it outright, his silence when asked about the franchise speaks volumes.
College basketball craziness concludes this evening with a final game between the Louisville Cardinals and Michigan Wolverines — but that's not the only matchup yielding a champion tonight. This Is Madness, a fan-driven competition to determine the true leader of the Star Wars universe has boiled down to two: Master Yoda and Darth Vader.
Cast your vote online, and see who the fan favorite will be tonight at 12:01 a.m. ET on ESPNU. Just like the real deal, This Is Madness started off with 32 competitive players on each side and will end with only one winner. Star Wars wonks filled out the geekiest bracket in the galaxy to determine which character reigns supreme.
Let's find out which character is the official fan favorite once and for all! This universe only has room for one victor.
Will it be the wise Jedi master or the vengeful Sith lord? Make your predictions in the comments below, and find out who the most popular Star Wars character is tonight!
We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling!

This week, Tori shares her son Liam's birthday party.
As I'm sure you all know by now, my little guy Liam isn't so little anymore. He's got a handsome new haircut and just turned 6. Last week we celebrated his birthday with a family outing to Chuck E. Cheese's, and a few days ago, Liam had his Star Wars birthday party with all of his classmates. Here are my pics and videos from Liam’s party . . .
