Happy weekend everyone! With the holidays (and Episode VII!) on our doorstep, it seems like the days just evaporate.

On a very not-Star Wars note, we have the first trailer for the sequel to the epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
And, while we're at it, the trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse:

Ok, we couldn't get through this section without at least one Star Wars reference. What's a realistic way to build a to-scale Death Star? The guys at JPL have a potential answer.
