Thanks to Film Chat for posting this video. We LOVE IT!

THIS is funny. Star Wars-themed election products (shirts, bumper stickers, etc.) I like the Wookie one best! And if the Obi-Wan bumper sticker had one of the actors on it, instead of the cartoon Obi-Wan, I probably would buy it! lol

David thinks the upcoming Clone Wars animated movie looks cool! I'll have to admit it is quite exciting! The movie comes out mid-August, so there's ANOTHER movie we'll want to see in theatres. I can take James to this one too. In case you're wondering, the Clone Wars take place between Episodes 2 and 3.

Let me preface this by saying that I am not really a huge Star Wars fan. Yes, I saw the first Trilogy (oddly called Episodes 4,5, & 6) in the theatres when they came out. In fact, I remember my sister and I begging my dad to let us PUH-LEEEEZE go see Star Wars when it was HELD! OVER! 52 WEEKS! Everyone we knew had seen it, except us. So we finally got to do it. Must have been 1978. I didn't really like the looks of Episode 1 when it came out a couple years ago. That Darth Maul.... :::shudders::: Ew..... And why would anyone need the backstory anyway? *shrug* But then I realized I had a son who was more into Star Wars than he was into Lord of the Rings. (How did that happen, you ask? I am in no way responsible. I did everything in my albeit limited powers to influence him the other way.) So, he missed Episodes 1 and 2 in the theatre, due to me, but ended up watching them on DVD. And of course, he loved them. So when Episode 3 came out, he begged and begged. It's PG-13, I sai...
