Are you familiar with the Stormtrooper effect? How about the Inverse Ninja Law? The Imperial Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship? Wikipedia explains.

National ‘Han Shot First’ Day
You know why. (Just be warned, the cheapest shipping from StarWarsShop is ten bucks! Target isn’t looking so bad…)
To celebrate the occasion, USA Today has an article on bonding via DVD, and Blogcritics wonders who owns the movies – creators or fans?
TK412, why aren’t you at your post?
No clue if this is kosher, let alone official (probably not) but you can get yourself a set of ‘Shepperton Studios Stormtrooper Armour,’ with helmets made from the “original molds,” for a mere £1299.95. (About $2500 American.) Or, just get in touch with your local 501st…

Spotted on Wikipedia’s Lamest Edit Wars page: “Death Star: Is it 120km or 160km in diameter? Who cares?” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Bonus lameness: A big chunk on Revenge of the Sith and (teehee) Shadows of the Empire. Requires scrolling.
Whine season opens early this year
No review copies of the new DVDs? The ‘piracy’ excuse seems kind of silly – there’s little (reported) that hasn’t been seen before, and has probably been illegally avaliable via all the usual suspects for years.
Of course, savvy fans – apparently not the bloggers at EW, at least before the fanboy hoards got to them – already know the transfers of the ‘originals’ are straight from the ’93 laserdisc masters and thus not going to be as good as the 2004 editions.
Popwatch’s second point/theory is something to ponder – are these stopgap DVDs? We do have that 2007 box set rumor.
Or, y’know, they’re just doing this on the cheap. It does seem strange seeing how much LFL loves to court publicity. And it makes me wonder if there’s something else on the discs. (Damn that Kool-Aid!) A preview of the animated TV show? The box set? Jar Jar in carbonite? Only LFL knows for sure… But don’t hold your breath.
