Star Wars Bracket - The selection committee got this all wrong, by the way. You could have easily added another 32 characters to this bracket. Also, there are a couple notable snubs to me like Admiral “It’s a Trap!” Ackbar and a common Imperial Stormtrooper. And by God, you should not have to choose between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Han Solo in the second round or between R2-D2 and C-3PO in the first. In my bracket, which I am tempted to make, R2-D2 and C-3PO would be in opposite regions. ANYWAY…
Round of 32
Solo over Calrissian
Obi-Wan over Qui-Gon
Luke over Wedge (this one is a tough call for me, Wedge is legit)
Yoda over Mace
R2-D2 over C-3PO
Leia over Padme
Chewie over Wicket
Ahsoka over Rex
Vader over Grevious
Maul over Ventress
Jabba over Salacious Crumb
Hondo over Cad Bane
Boba Fett over Dengar
Bossk over Jango Fett
Tarkin over Dooku (good match up)
The Emperor over Ig-88
Sweet 16
Obi-Wan over Solo - on a double OT, buzzer beating, ¾ length-of-the-floor shot
Yoda over Luke
Leia over R2-D2
Chewie over Ahsoka
Vader over Maul
Jabba over Hondo
Boba Fett over Bossk (if Bossk captured Solo, he would be the higher seed)
Tarkin over The Emperor (upset)
Elite 8
Yoda over Obi-Wan (Yoda’s veteran leadership carries the day)
Leia over Chewie (this was by far the best basketball game to watch)
Vader over Jabba
Boba Fett over Tarkin
Final Four
Yoda over Leia
Vader over Boba Fett
Final
Yoda defeats Vader in a dream final. I’ve always wanted to see this match up…
Thanks be to Kevin for finding this article.
“Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life,” Watson tweeted. “Good. Well that’s sorted then.”
Good move. Classy. Classy is good.
He calls himself Skull Reaper A-Ji and he was elected in February to the Oita City Council.
This is something straight out of the combined imagination of Kevin and I.
Happy 134th birthday, Albert Einstein. Here he is posing with an Einstein puppet — because why the heck not? — in 1931.
Side note: Famous puppeteer Harry Burnett made the mini-Einstein. He’s an interesting figure in his own right; more on him here.

when I was in high school we went to one of the saddest cities for fun and pancakes.I am not sure where you went, but I want to make an educated guess… my inner Sherlock wants to say Memphis. There’s fun things to do in Memphis, and I am sure there are plenty of pancakes to go around…

“Yeah. We shot and stunned Princess Leia. We tortured Han Solo with electric shocks and froze him in carbonite. We mercilessly slaughtered Jawas. It all came back to us though, because we were defeated by Ewoks with sticks, rocks, and wooden catapults.”
