So, he’s got his sonic screwdriver, the laser rifle he confiscated from a Gallifreyan soldier, a few interchangeable hands, a light-up display base, and even “the Moment,” the doomsday weapon with a conscience that eventually took the form of Billy Piper‘s Rose Tyler/Bad Wolf. We only get the box here, but we’d love to see the Moment’s Bad Wolf in the future!http://www.bigchiefstudios.co.uk/collectables/doctor-who/sixth-scale-figures/the-war-doctor-day-of-the-doctor5)Doctor who could be shooting in VancouverAccording to various tweets the show is being revealed to shoot in VancouverFans will recall the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie starring the eighth doctor Paul McGann was shot in Vancouver.And here's another Vancouver connection: Rachel Talalay, who has directed several episodes of the show, is an associate professor of theatre at UBC.

Allows us to introduce you to Splinter of the Mind's Eye.Splinter was an exercise in caution on Lucas's part. It was written by Alan Dean Foster, the author who was brought in to work on the novelisation of the first film, and was designed to be deliberately simple in its setting and scope. If A New Hope was a flop, it could be used as the basis for a low-budget sequel, and if it was a success (as it of course turned out to be), then Splinter of the Mind's Eye could be released as a novel to tide fans over until the next film.8)ASSImovs Jedihttp://www.idigitaltimes.com/star-wars-news-jedi-are-second-foundation-551836why the old republic was stronger than the new9)Phantom menace pod race rips off ben hurhttp://io9.gizmodo.com/watch-how-star-wars-pod-race-shamelessly-rips-off-ben-h-1785539482
