Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Han Solo in Firefly? It’s true! There is proof! Amy spots a Han in Carbonite figure in several episodes. Can you find the rest? Break out the DVDs!
Video. Harry Shum Jr. (of Glee) made a fanfilm. Or something. It has lightsabers, anyway.
Hmm… Take a Star Wars detox? I can’t deny it has some temptations. Think of all the Law and Order reruns we could watch!
At random. Vader’s tombstone and Charlie Brown as Luke Skywalker.
Y’all loved ‘Midichlorian Rhapsody,’ so here’s another Star Wars selection from Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff’s Grated Hits. You can buy the songs individually now, too.
On a related note, I hear that the manuscript for Holostar has been turned in.
Build-A-Bear Workshop launched a Star Wars line last year with a Darth Vader and several Clone Wars offerings. This poster Eliz spotted yesterday reveals this year’s selections: A Star Wars bear and outfits for Han Solo, Threepio and Princess Leia.

May is still showering, but in the land of Hallmark, spring means only one thing: The 2010 Dreambook is out. There are several Star Wars selections: One set of Yoda and Captain Rex (page 56) and several Empire Strikes Back-themed ornaments (pages 60-61) that you can check out below the cut.

The official site brings us our first look at the cover for Troy Denning’s Vortex, the sixth Fate of the Jedi novel.
Wherever the deathly obvious needs exploring, MTV is there! Let’s quote:
“No, no, no. Han Solo was very good to me at a certain point in my career,” explained the legendary star, who will be seen in the drama “Extraordinary Measures” on January 22nd. “But I’m done. I’m done with him.”
Surprise! Except, y’know, not.
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.
Han Solo Adventures is a freeware “interactive fan fiction” game currently under development by Stacy Davidson. The video above doubles as a trailer and contribution the the Star Wars Uncut project. (via)
