Interweb Gems from a galaxy far, far away.

Greetings young Padawan. (i will make some references that you may not understand, fear not for i have linked everything to Wookieepedia.com to clear things up!) A long time ago a man by the name of George Lucas brought us Star Wars, one of the greatest films ever. Since its release on May 25, 1977, the film has earned $797,900,000 worldwide, making it the first film to reach the $300 million mark, and one of the highest grossing films of all time. Its influence on pop culture however is incalculable. Over 30 years after its initial release the Star Wars franchise still has an extremely loyal fan/fanatic base. Thanks to the interwebs, they get to share their love with the rest of the world. Their homage has been paid and it is my job to dig it up. i am but a lowly Jawa scavenging for Interweb scraps to pawn, no wait I'm a ruthless Bounty Hunter that searches the outer reaches of the galaxy seeking the rarest of Interweb Gems to bring to back, yeah that's it. Now if only i had a ship that could have made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs...

First up here is Benjamen. You might see this youngling playing at the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine most Friday and Saturday nights. This appears to be his audition tape.


Now another youngling with the heart of a true Jedi. Often imitated, never duplicated, this is the original "Star Wars Kid." Caught on camera in 2006, is he flailing around an AV room with an aluminum pole or fighting off invisible enemies with Darth Maul's lightsaber? You be the judge.


The final video is reserved for none other than the Dark Lord himself, Darth Vader. This video comes from the guys at Blame Society Films and features Vader as a day shift manager at a supermarket and hilarity ensues. Chad Vader, RISE!


Some other Star Wars gems of inter-galactic proportions:

I hope you enjoyed this trip around the Galaxy! Until we meet again, may the Force be with you.
