I feel like ever since I watched Empire Strikes Back on Sunday I’ve been bombarded with Star Wars related stories so I figured I might as well collect them for a show and tell.
Star Wars + Robot Chicken = Robot Wars? Star Chicken?
Surely anyone who loves Star Wars and/or Robot Chicken has heard of the Lucas/Green/Senreich collaboration for the Adult Swim stop motion animation series, Robot Chicken. For those not yet “in the loop,” Seth Green and Matthew Senreich of Robot Chicken approached Lucas and Co. about making a special Star Wars episode of Robot Chicken. I know the Chicken has done some Star Wars themed sketches in the past but this one will be a full episode and fully endorsed by Lucasfilm.

Star Wars @ the California Science Center: Where Science Meets Imagination
Star Wars creator George Lucas said, “I’m happy that Star Wars can help educate people about technology in an entertaining way. Technological innovation and filmmaking have a lot in common: They both begin with imagination and creativity.”
So I know the exhibit is over now but The California Science Center had an exhibit featuring the props and models they used in the Star Wars trilogy. I didn’t actually go otherwise I would have some pictures for you but in lieu of that you can read this lovely article about the exhibit from Pluginz.com. You can also take a gander at flickr photos from people who actually did go to the exhibit.

And to conclude the post I leave you with a picture of my friends playing with light sabers.
