It can turn on your TV. No, really. The perfect gift for the squib in your life, I’m sure Santa Maul would say.

Okay, it’s not so much a video as an excuse to listen to the track by Big Daddy. Just go with it. (Thanks to The Stooge.)
The fandom minute: Spacebook, sports, puns, photos, blogs, corrdors, and the wisdom of Han Solo
Today on Spacebook.. This t-shirt design by Hogboy has been making the rounds. I would dare take a guess that this genius is the inspiration.
- Wide world of puns. The University of Michigan has a quarterback named Tate Forcier. You don’t even have to imagine: They’ve already been made.
- Action figures in action. Bonnie interviews Stéfan Le Dû about his Stormtroopers 365 project.
- Internet inevitability. Animals with lightsabers, the blog. (via)
- Freeform advice. What would Han Solo do?
- Randomly… Den of Geek praises the sci-fi corridor.
Out this week: The Clone Wars, KOTOR

I’m sure the Jedi are quaking in their fabulous boots. Oh, Clone Wars. (via)
New Star Tours to feature 3-D and podracing in 2011
So I guess the only question I have is… Why didn’t they do this back in 2001?!? (Waiting on better 3-D? Possible competition from Universal’s upcoming Harry Potter project?)
The DisneylandNews Twitter says: “Disney Parks is going to do things with “Star Tours” that have never been done before in theme park attractions.” I’m also hearing on Twitter that it won’t JUST be pod racing, but not from any of the official sources yet. The OC Register blog is now reporting:
In a press conference after the presentation, Rasulo said new destinations, like the one shown, would be part of the new Star Tours. Rasulo said the ride would undergo physical changes, but the simulator carriages would remain. Riders will don 3D glasses for the new experience.
ETA: More on StarWars.com and video of the presentation.
