During the weekend, even Ars takes an occasional break from redesigning an entire website or reflecting on our mutant selves. Weekend Ar(t)s is a chance to share what we’re watching/listening/reading or otherwise consuming this week.
This is a long documented struggle with no end in sight.
Man comes up with idea, man registers domain. It happens every day. In fact, it happens hundreds of thousands of times each day. Overwhelmingly, these become blips on the radar. But when generic “man” gets replaced by George Lucas and the domain includes the phrase “Star Wars,” all bets are off.
Fusible broke the news that LucasFilms registered a total of eight domains last week, all related to a concept speculated to be called Star Wars: 1313. As with anything related to the galaxy far, far away, interpretations ran rampant.
