Guess they will need some Banthas to cover their tracks...

Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru Immortalized At Last


The fans have been clamoring for years, and it seems the time has finally come - Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru in all of their molded plastic glory for your action figure playing pleasure!  Yes, the loving couple whose untimely passing after the droid were traced to their home launched Luke Skywalker on his galactic adventure.  None of this prequel nonsense, this is Owen and Beru Lars just as we remember them from A New Hope.  Maybe they should have let Luke go to the Academy with Biggs and Tank...


And speaking of Star Wars and untimely ends, from Dorkly comes "8 Lines That Would Have Ended Star Wars Real Fast".  In honor of Uncle Ben:

Lego + Star Wars + Christianity = Awesome


You just never know what those wacky Danish geniuses are going to come up with next.  Just in time for the holidays, Lego has announced their 2011 Advent Calendar Set - and It's Star Wars themed!


For each of the twenty-four days leading up to Christmas, there's a Star Wars Lego surprise.  There doesn't seem to be much linking the set to the birth of Jesus, and I am unfamiliar with St. Augustine's meditations on The Force, but love Santa Yoda you must:

It's available now from Lego's on-line shop for $39.99.

More Ewoks Than Humans Should Be Allowed


Can't get enough of those furry little critters who kicked Imperial tail and then held a rave?  Well, you've come to the right place.  Here's a quick survey of some of the better video fare centering on our Endorian friends:

Ewok Celebration by Meco

The original Yub Nub sensation, as remixed by the guy who brought us the Star Wars Theme Disco Version (available in hi-fi on vinyl as part of KTel's "Star Power" anthology, which I happen to own).




Ewok Gospel Song Featuring Billy Dee Williams

The tale of a galaxy saved by Wickett and company, set to gospel music, with a cameo by Mr. Colt 45 himself - works every time!



Drunk Ewoks on the Today Show

Ewoks invade Halloween on the Today Show.
It's the tried and true formula: Ewoks + Alcohol + Al Roker = Laughs.
Bear with it, it's worth it.  Inappropriate groping and the moonwalk take it to the next level.



Ewok Barbershop

I don't think a quartet has gotten it's barbershop hooks into me like this since "Baby on Board" by the Be Sharps back in 85.




AT-AT Day Afternoon

Finally, it's not Ewoks, but that other adorable character from the original trilogy that we all wanted to take home as a pet: The All Terrain Armored Transport!



Celebrate The Love!

P.S.  I have been unable to locate Jimmy Fallon's Ewok Celebration which he sang on SNL during Weekend Update.  It seems the copyright police have wiped it clear off the Internet.  If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be much obliged. Seriously.
