Re: Sick of Star Wars
Some dorkery I just noticed: The Star Wars Collectors Galaxy podcast. http://imperialcommissary.com/podcast/c ... 1/#more-48Haven't listened yet, not sure if I will, but this seems a fine board to mention its existence to.

Re: Sick of Star Wars
Well, in terms of manufactured 'holidays', it isn't the worst thing out there. At least this one was started by fans * (before the consumerist machine took over). It's Star Wars Day! Happy May the 4th everyone! * http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/4/115840 ... definition

Re: Sick of Star Wars
I do so love that Chewie. In a world saturated with SW toys, it is easily one of my favourites to come along in some time. Excellent toy and great post G!

Re: Sick of Star Wars
Saw these on BoingBoing today. I think The Yoda and Chewie are pretty good, but R2D2 is pretty lame. Vader is not quite sinister enough. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/irvt/? ... ki%20tikis

Re: Sick of Star Wars
Yeah, I think they could have spent some more time working on incorporating individual elements into each of them, rather that just having blocky character glasses. They are cool in that if I happened to see one for cheap or secondhand I might pick it up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to order a set or anything. Thinking about it now, I am actually more surprised it is only OT characters; not very often (if at all) you see that anymore. Now if you want a SW ceramic mug, here is a suggestion or, for the real posh drinkers,

I'm still on the casual hunt for a web hub that makes mention only of the existence of the OT, the Marvel comics and the early writings of Mr. Alan Dean Foster. I wonder whatever happened to George Lucas after 1985?

Re: Sick of Star Wars
Okay, this is pretty sweet. Star Wars rendered as an entire web page for you to scroll through and 'watch' the movie. What an ingenious creation, not to mention great way to waste some time at your desk, you know, where watching an entire movie might be frown upon. For some reason. Not that anyone would do such a thing.... http://swanh.net/The making of the site is pretty intense as well. Excellent work Martin Panchaud!
