The Creator. George Lucas was at the Marin Civic Center yesterday – for jury duty. Not the most exciting of news (he was dismissed) but if you feel like a look back, The Atlantic published their 1979 profile of Lucas.
Sports. Florida Gators coach Will Muschamp was befuddled a week or so back by the term ‘padawan.’ ESPN has the video – and a brief guide.
Hmm, good news, yes. Our ancestors like Yoda spoke, linguists say.
Fans. Florida teacher Jay Hoff created a massive diorama of the Death Star II hanger bay from Return of the Jedi – with LEGOs.
People. Mark Hamill talks comics with CNN; Billy Dee Williams will be making an appearance on ABC’s Man Up; Natalie Portman is going to produce a miniseries based on a novel by 80’s staple Judith Krantz.
Expect lots of “Lucas should be the one on trial!” type comments to start appearing.
Nah.
Huge LEGO stuff like that never ceases to amaze me.
