That R2-D2 Is In Prime Condition, A Real Bargain

So... will this replace Slave Leia as the ultimate fanboy fantasy?

Han Solo's Theme Song

Luke had a theme. Even Vader had a theme. Now thanks to MC Chris, Han Solo has a long-overdue, kick-ass theme:

May the Force Be With Your Subway

Some months ago I mentioned a video of some improv actors staging a scene from Ghostbusters in the New York City library that the film was made in. Well the folks from Improv Everywhere are back at it, this time they staged a scene from Star Wars on the NYC Subway.



They have some great stories and behind the scenes photos on their website. I love this part:

Vader got all kinds of funny looks from people as they passed by or gawked at him from across the tracks. At one point, a young guy came up to him and said, "Sith Lord, would it be OK if I took your photo?"

So polite! Any ideas for a scene they could do next?

They Say It's My Birthday

Today is in fact my birthday so I thought I'd compile a list of things that you all can give me, thanks to the Think Geek catalogue that arrived in the mail this weekend.

• The Back to the Future Lights and Sound Mark I DeLorean
  
  
  This bad boy makes all the sounds that the movie one does. Totally rad.


• Star Wars Chop Sabers with the R2-D2 Pepper Mill
  
  
  
  
  Because our home clearly needs to be geekier.


• Or maybe just some Canned Unicorn Meat. Unicorn: the new white meat!
  
  

Seriously, I love Think Geek. Go browse around - I bet you find one thing that you want.

The Office In a Galaxy Far Far Away

At the risk of mixing conflicting sci-fi references, Star Wars is about to boldly go where it has never gone before... into the world of the sitcom.

It's been reported that Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, creators of the fantastically warped show Robot Chicken, are working with Lucasfilm to hatch a Star Wars comedy that sounds like an Office take on Star Wars.

Comedy and Star Wars go hand in hand. From the classic Christmas special (starring Bea Arthur!) to the animated treatments from Family Guy and Robot Chicken to the prequels themselves ("Noooooooooooo!"), there has been a lot to laugh at in the Star Wars universe.
