I can see that. I'm sure fandom has caused many an ex.

I Googled "black buns" looking for more pictures of Vader's baps.

It was pretty informative, but not much to do with cookery.

Of course he does. Lucas makes 'enterainments', not 'art.'

Just watched ROTJ on Bluray and that Vader "NOOOOO!!!!!!" bit at the end is mix poorly and so uncalled for. Otherwise good print of the film.

It wasn't all bad though. Made any romantic evening a cakewalk, considering all you had to do was make something that did not taste & look like the main indegrient was charcoal.


For her defense though, I don't think it was actually a case of being a bona fide lethal chef, she just was bit of a... dreamer.

And to keep us on topic, I think I finally get this.

Star Wars: Underworld

Star Wars producer Rick McCallum provided the latest update on the live-action TV series, which he says carries the working title Star Wars: Underworld, because it's all about the seedy gangster-ridden underworld that crops up between episodes 3 and 4 as the Empire begins to gain control of the galaxy. Unfortunately, even though some scripts are finished, they're still having trouble figuring out a way to produce a big-budgeted, effects-heavy TV show without losing money on each episode.

Good dry cleaners are hard to come by when you're too busy eradicating rebellious scum from the galaxy. For dirty jobs it's advisable to wear protection. Vader recommends his new apron:

the Jar Jar in carbonite...sigh...again, why is Jar Jar always thrown under the bus, as if its gonna take all the stink off the mess that is Phantom Menace? we get it, we all get it, Jar Jar is bad...but there is so much more to grow a sense of humor about. How about a figure of post-podrace wreck mangled Ani? or just-got-shot-in-the-face-by-a-droideka-Padme? Coruscant street pizza Mace Windu? Hell, they havent even given us a Windouche with a severed arm yet!

This is, of course "Original Trilogy Force"



...and if someone suggested it he might have put it on a shelf. Like the first empty box he sold.

The prequel versions would have to include a few red sequins (for blood cells) and be called: "Midichlorian Acessory Pack."

All those are great suggestions, but in their wisdom Hasbro/LFL have decided to offer...

The perfect accessory to this set:



Or better still,



But how about...



Or a 1:1 scale model of a planet?



This one is real: Star Wars meets Alien?





Reminds me of the movie Teeth.

I actually own that Sarlacc Pit and the Homestead.

The Sarlacc reminds me of 'Little Shop Of Horrors'. "Feed Me Seymore!!!"

I saw the Roger Corman version with Jack Nicholson a while back. Now that thought is going to be fighting with the pre-Giger Alien image!

Here's a very impressive Jabba's Palace diorama made by a fan from Argentina for 3 3/4" figures. It's multi-level and HUGE.
