Weaving Epic Characters

Here are some fantastic knitted Star Wars characters. My personal favorite: Slave Leia. She might not learn to appreciate me, but at least she can hold my keys. Also, check out Yoda, Han Solo, Obi-wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and some kind of Darth Maul/Sith/Ninja character. Very interesting. Thanks to Nissie for the info!

Did you feel that? It was a great disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of voices cried out in excitement and were suddenly silenced. Word was circulating — whispers in the dark at first — that Force Unleashed would also manifest itself on the PC. This was even picked up by Ars Technica. But just as the story picked up steam, it was just as quickly debunked. Oh well.

Where has the time gone? Has it really been 31 years since George Lucas unleashed his vision of a faraway past to millions around the world? Apparently it has, and to commemorate the milestone, GalacticBinder has posted a list of the Top 31 Star Wars moments.

As with any list, it is subjective. But what I like about their list is that it provides rationale. That’s refreshing, especially after 31 years, don’t you think?

I don’t want to give away the entire list, but just to tease you, the “I am your father” moment is ranked #14. Wait till you see the rest of it. Check it out.
