What if Star Wars was a TV Serial?

I’m using the fact that Robyn is writing school reports to do some spring cleaning of the “starred items” in Google Reader – which I basically use as a queue of things to post here… there were things from a couple of months ago waiting to see the light of day – including this Macgyveresque Star Wars TV serial intro… You’ll understand if you watch it. I got it from Ben at bathgates.net – which is truly one of my favourite blogs. It’s scope is pretty much as broad as mine so it makes me feel less eclectic.

At least ten R2-D2 items you don’t want or need

I don’t really get excited by Star Wars – which is why I mercifully (or mercilessly) flogged off my garage sale haul of Star Wars figurines rather than putting them in a cupboard to look at once every couple of years.

But, I do see weird Star Wars merchandise from time to time as I trawl the internet for blogworthy goodness – to be honest they’ve all fallen into my lap via Google Reader. Now I am collating them for your reading pleasure… in no particular order.

My Star Wars Auctions on eBay finish up today – actually there’s one item that seems to have slipped through the posting cracks – two if you include the Boba Fett that I haven’t listed for Tim’s benefit.

The good news is that I’ve hit the break even point on the auctions and will actually make a profit. That’s bound to keep Robyn happy.

Feel free to jack up the prices with some last minute bidding action. You may score yourself a bargain. Darth Vader and R2-D2 are due to finish in just over two hours.

These made me laugh…

Language warning on both these though – only mild for the top one… it’s bleeped out.
