Build a Sith...or a Jedi...or a Clone...
 Somehow this one flew under our radar, but it seems that along with the usual puppy, teddy or frog, you can now build you favorite Star Wars character at your local Build-A-Bear Workshop. For $15 you can outfit whatever plush creature you create in officially-licensed Star Wars costumes. The choices include Darth Vader, Captain Rex, Obi-Wan (from Episode III) and Anakin from the animated Clone Wars series. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Vader even come equipped with plush lightsabers. Looks like the perfect Valentines Day gift for the special Star Wars geek in your life has finally arrived! |

Use the Fork Luke!
 We have all seen some weird Star Wars-related stuff at some point in our lives, but I can guarantee it's nothing compared to what the Pop-Culture nerds over at Entertainment Weekly dug up today. A Japanese commercial for canned tuna that was shot back in 1978 has bubbled it's way back up to the surface via You Tube. All the classic Star Wars characters are there. (kind of) This piece of celluloid history even foreshadows a pivotal scene from The Empire Strikes Back when Lord Vader "invites" Han, Chewie and Leia to join him at the dinner table. Little did we know back then that Vader was actually going to serve them canned tuna. |

Fate of the Jedi: Omen
 A new multi-book series set in the Star Wars universe is usually considered to be a good thing. I have yet to be convinced about this new series. A new breed of Sith (which seems to challenge everything we know about them) is just one of the many things that left me scratching my head in wonder. And when Jedi Go Wild, it brings the wrath Daala's government down upon the order. Would it be Luke's move to counteract Daala a wimp move, or something more. For more check out the latest review. |

 What happens on the Death Star stays on the Death Star...unless you're desperate to get off of it. Then you may have to take your life and your career into your own hands. Plus when a convict from a prison planet finds the Death Star more sociable than the the jail in which he had been incarcerated, an escape may have to be made to the satellite, and later from it.

Star Wars In Concert? Where do I Pahk my Cahh?
 The Spectacle that is Star Wars in Concert recently rolled into Boston and I was lucky enough to land a couple of the coveted golden tickets for my son and I to attend one of the 2 performances. Unlike the recent big-screen offerings from the galaxy far, far away, this show not only lived up to the hype, it blew it away with the firepower of a thousand star destroyers! For my complete review of the show as well as pictures from the standing room only event follow the LINK. |
