JibJab Celebrates 30 Years of Star Wars

Submitted by on May 10, 2010 – 4:02 pm617 Comments

The blog has been dormant for the past couple weeks – but back from our honeymoon (pictures coming!), I have a slew of quick posts that should have been covered earlier and warrant greater depth… so my apologies!



JibJab celebrated thirty years of The Empire Strikes Back by releasing three Starring You movies for the original Star Wars trilogy. Using Facebook Connect, standard digital photos and/or your webcam, you can cast yourself and friends into three Star Wars movies. The launch was well received and got great coverage from The Washington Post, LA Times, USA Today, and several others. Two of the best pieces though?

TechCrunch Editor Michael Arrington said: “This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. And I think I’m serious.”

And JibJab’s Spiridellis brothers joined Adam Carolla’s podcastwho has the world record for podcast downloads. (FYI: they are in the second part of the two part series).

Now cast yourself in Star Wars at http://starwars.jibjab.com and embed it in Facebook!
