A well deserved tribute...
'Star Wars' Creator Becomes Storm Trooper LOS ANGELES (AP) - Not that long ago, in a nearby galaxy, George Lucas joined forces with the dark side. The "Star Wars" creator has become a Storm Trooper.
Hasbro, maker of "Star Wars" toys, is paying plastic tribute to Lucas, interpreting him as a limited-edition action figure in Storm Trooper attire.
The head of the toy maker's "Star Wars" division called Lucas "the greatest character in the universe."
"We took a cue from when Han Solo and Luke disguised themselves as Storm Troopers," said Derryl DePriest, marketing director and admitted lifelong "Star Wars" fan. "We placed George in his own universe that he created."
I think that's tremendous and now, of course, I want one. I still want the Mr Potato-Head Darth Tater, too. Man, I'm such a geek sometimes.
