It seems the subdomain "shop.starwars.com" is being redirected.
Anybody else seeing this?
Redirected to where? Looks like it is working as expected...?

HTML served up looks official, albeit different NS servers and IP Range
from main site.
Resolves to 209.20.19.60 (shop.starwars.novator2.com.). Couldn't tell
you if that's where it's "meant" to go mind...

Appears that it's a CNAME for shop.starwars.novator2.com.
The expiry day is 11/22/2011, so if I were to guess I would think that the domain expired, sent to an advert page, and was just renewed.

Yep, that's it. My nameserver is caching the old advert site that was serving up when the domain expired:

Smartest attack is to put up a page that looks exactly the same as the
legit site, but with your own cheaper crappier knockoff starwars paraphenalia
('duke', 'tewey', 'princess luba') that you sell instead and make the huge
profits.
Not to give anyone any ideas that werent obvious like 15 years ago.
How anyone can tell the internet is legit at a glance is beyond me. Need
to hookup firefox's security warning to my speakers to get a modicum of
alert that SSL is busted, to start, nevermind anything more creative.
That phishers manage to fake sites that look wrong is also beyond me, what's
so hard about 'save page as'?

I'm surprised by the sequence of events here..
domain "novator2.com" is registered with DomainsAtCost.ca.
domain "novator2.com" expires...
gets picked up by the administrators of "yourdomainhasexpired.com" - Rebel.com? 1550507.ca?

Redir'd to a advert site, instead of a default "DomainsAtCost.ca" holding page or...nowhere.
Apparently quickly renewed and "given back" to the original owners.
Who's at play here? Does DomainsAtCost have a deal with Rebel.com? Or are they the same company?
It all seems fishy to me. Is this normal practice?
Probably because there's no need to try that hard - they'll catch enough
people no matter how crappy the phish.

The Rebel Alliance managed to hit that site, but the Empire struck
back and it's back online again.

Novator (Canadian web-shopping company, used to be FTD's big partner) is responsible for shop.starwars.com so I think all that's happened here is Novator forgot to renew a domain.
domainsatcost.ca is rebel.com is Momentous.ca and they own yourdomainhasexpired.com.
