  R2-D2, 1977 “May The Force Be With You” And I love my stylized signature. My seven-year-old self seems to have been going for a futuristic rounded rectangle look. I have always loved letters, lettering, and typography.

  C-3PO, 1977 Have a good fourth? We did. We went to the Reagan Presidential Library for about a nanosecond, but that was petering out. So what we did was go to the Simi Valley High School event. We hung out and brought a picnic lunch and it was a good, mellow, fireworks-filled event. Have a great day!...

  Han Solo, 1977 I’m almost done posting these Star Wars drawings from my 7-year old self. If you’re getting sick of them, take heart, I’m running out. Han shot first, you know. He’s trigger-happy in this image.

  Luke Skywalker, 1977 I like the texture on Luke’s cloak here, though the two misspellings: “Luke Skywaker” and “Star Warss” dismay.

  Princess Leia, 1977 It’s a beautiful morning. I really like that 7-year old self of mine. Princess Leia smiles, though I think she only smiles one time in that whole Star Wars movie. I saw that movie 5 and a half times, by the way. I mean, in the theaters, that Summer. Kids did indeed keep track of...

  Meg Vader Star Wars, Episode III, originally uploaded by ellison. Last week Devon and I sneaked away and saw an afternoon showing of Revenge of the Sith. We were greeted with the startling visage of Meg Vader, pictured here. Oh, on the right, that’s also Blockerman, sporting his custom-made “Prequels Suck” t-shirt. That man has style. Related:...

  StarWars.com mentions Star Wars Christmas Special Star Wars: Databank | Chewbacca Chewbacca was played by Peter Mayhew, who donned the suit in all three classic Star Wars movies and would again wear the Wookiee wool for a number of notable television apperances. In 1978, Chewbacca returned to Kashyyyk to visit his family in the rarely-seen “Star Wars Holiday Special” television extravaganza....

  A Favorite Star Wars Interaction A pal-o-mine on IM was telling me about new stringent management at his work. It reminded me of a favorite Empire Strikes Back moment: [Darth Vader has just learned that Admiral Ozzel’s big blunder, and activates a viewscreen] Admiral Ozzel: [appearing onscreen with Captain Piett] Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed and...

  Joe as Star Wars Toy At the Con the Star Wars people had a booth where you could pretend to be an action figure. For those of you wondering what I would look like as a Star Wars toy, wonder no more.

  Today was a wonderful day. Today I got up early and did my laundry. Today I spoke to my Mom and sister for a good long talk. Today I went swimming for the first time in a long time. Today I helped build a prefab garden shed. Today I gave a copy of Understanding Comics away. Today I had crunchy...

  I’ve had these Star Wars Songbook songs on my site … I’ve had these Star Wars Songbook songs on my site — in the smorgasborg — for a long time. I had always assumed they emerged from the collective unconscious somehow. But the other day I got a nice note from the original author asking me for attribution, and said it would be fine if I...
