Luke Skywalker's pants (Everett/Nate D. Sanders)
Pop quiz, hotshot: Your best friend is having a "Star Wars"-themed costume party, and you want your Luke Skywalker costume to be really, really authentic. How much is it worth to you to know you've got exactly the right pair of pants? $36,000, perhaps?

Well, someone believes Luke's pants are worth that much, and they've written the check to prove it. Nate D. Sanders, an online auction house, sold the off-white cotton pants Mark Hamill wore as Luke in the original 1977 "Star Wars" to an unnamed bidder Wednesday for $36,100, as part of a sale devoted to Hollywood collectables.

"Metallica Through the Never" is an upcoming IMAX 3D extravaganza that offers a fresh spin on the whole tried-and-true "concert film" format. More than a just a "spin," actually -- it adds an additional parallel narrative to concert footage of the longtime band proving that nobody rocks quite as hard as guys who traditionally might have retired about two decades ago.

That's right — the closer of the original "Star Wars" trilogy has been around for three decades, and no doubt many of you can recite every line, identify every random shadowy creature in Jabba's palace by name and fly into a rage whenever you're reminded that Sebastian Shaw was replaced with Hayden Christensen for that final shot in the Special Edition.

And you know you love the Ewoks. Just accept it — it's easier that way.

But, as Yoda himself would certainly agree, there is still much to be learned about "Return of the Jedi" — and the entire "Star Wars" saga itself. And some interesting new behind-the-scenes facts will make themselves known in J.W. Rinzler's "The Making of 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,'" which is set to hit store shelves on October 1.

In celebration of the 30-year anniversary

David Gonzalez stumbled across one Super-sized bonus check when he discovered a copy of "Action Comics" #1 in the wall of his house in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, according to UPI.com.

The remodeler -- and now one of the luckiest men alive -- found the extremely rare comic book amongst old newspapers that had been used to insulate the wall of the abandoned home that was built in 1938 (the year Superman made his first appearance in print). Gonzalez bought the house for $10,100; the comic is worth at least ten times that much.

"Action Comics" #1 was published 75 years ago last month and featured the first appearance of several superhero characters, most notably Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. "Action Comics" is today dedicated almost exclusively to Superman stories, but in its early days as a predecessor of DC Comics it was an anthology book -- and is considered the publication that gave birth to the "superhero" genre in general.

Gina Carano and Michelle Rodriguez lay down the girl fight gauntlet in 'Fast 6' (Photo: Universal Pictures)To date, when it comes to the most intense girl-on-girl fighting in film, actresses like Uma Thurman (both "Kill Bill" movies), Pam Grier ('70s films "The Big Doll House" and "Foxy Brown"), and Sigourney Weaver (who battled the queen bee extraterrestrial in 1986's "Aliens") come to mind.

Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano have taken their big-screen girl fight to a whole new level in "Fast & Furious 6." Their two fighting scenes in the upcoming action franchise flick are lengthy and their moves are severe, to say the least — arguably the most extreme woman-versus-woman hand-to-hand combat in movie history.

"That was the goal," Rodriguez told Yahoo! Movies of her record-seeking performance. She and Carano take up a whole lot of screen time in two dynamic fight scenes in "Fast 6." No weapons are used, as the two rely mostly on their fists — Carano does a few roundhouse kicks, too.

The idea to throw down the girl fight gauntlet came from "Fast 6" director Justin Lin. "Let's go for the best in history," he recalled telling

Josh Hutcherson in Lionsgate's 'The Hunger Games'

With a key role in the blockbuster franchise “The Hunger Games,” actor Josh Hutcherson could very easily do nothing (work-wise) in-between the releases of the second, third and fourth films and still maintain a level of popularity in Hollywood for the next few years. Instead of resting on his laurels however, Hutcherson has several lower-profile projects lined up, including the recently-announced movie “Ape,” for which he’ll serve as star and producer.

According to The Wrap, "Ape" is billed as a dark psychological thriller that revolves around a young man’s struggle with mental illness, love and a deep-rooted family secret. Miguel Sapochnik ("Repo Men") has been tapped to direct the
