Looking to indulge your geek tendencies? Let us introduce you to the season’s must-have coffee table book, a little double-shot of nostalgia known as Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, which hit stores this week.
Acting as a comprehensive catalog of all LEGO Star Wars sets (and spin-offs) from the last decade, the book breaks down the facts and features behind every single ship and minifigure ever released. We recently caught up with the book’s author, Simon Beecroft, who was kind enough to speak to us about the various features. For a look inside the pages of the Visual Dictionary, watch the video below…

The villains are winning! Movie deals, that is. Thanks to the half a billion dollars Heath Ledger’s disturbing portrayal of The Joker has helped The Dark Knight gross in two weeks, Sony has greenlit a Spider-Man spinoff for his adversary Venom, the gooey alien life form that brings out people’s evil, vengeful side. We ain’t mad at the rise of bad. Good guys usually have bitch in them anyway. After the jump, see five villains that Complex would like to see get their own movie.

“Your titties I swing on. Yes, hmmm.”
You’ve already finished (or given up on) Grand Theft Auto IV, and Madden doesn’t come out for two weeks. So what’s new to play in the meantime? Funny you should ask, because the best brawler in the biz'Soulcalibur IV (Namco Bandai: 360, PS3)'is in stores tomorrow. We’ve already hipped you to the game’s inclusion of Yoda and Darth Vader (the little guy is Xbox 360-only, and Vader is exclusive to PS3), but they’re just two of many reasons why you need to cop this game…

It’s almost too easy to shit on Star Wars nerds. Besides, every now and again something actually cool comes out of the “movie franchise that will never die.” We can’t even front on The Vader Project, which exhibited over the weekend at Celebration Japan, an arts and culture shindig held outside of Tokyo.
The Vader Project is the brainchild of Dov Kelemer and Sarah Ho Marks of DKE Toys, who gave a bunch of contemporary artists a 1:1 scale Darth Vader helmet and told them to put their own imprint on the uber-villain’s domepiece. The original exhibit, featuring Mister Cartoon, Haze, and Estevan Oriol, among others, toured last year in L.A, London, and Comic-Con in San Diego. This weekend’s showing in Tokyo featured the additions of 13 Japanese artists, including T9G, Devil Robots, and Usugrow. After the jump, check out our favorites from the Japan show.

George Lucas continues to rub salt in the wounds of real Star Wars fans the world over. In what can only be described as a final act of perversion, Lucas revealed that he'll be turning one of the greatest movie franchises of all time into a cartoon, citing how he wasn’t able to finish the story with only six full length movies over thirty years, “I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell.” As if the latest Star Wars trilogy that included such disasters as Jar Jar Binks, not to mention the re-mastering of the originals, wasn’t a bad enough transgression, the legendary producer is now set to release The Clone Wars featuring state-of-the-art computer-generated animation. A full-length movie will be released in theatres in mid-August, followed by a TV series premiering this Fall on the Cartoon Network.
