It took me a couple of months, but I finally settled on a desktop image for my computer at work.

If someone wanted to get me a $300 housewarming present, you could certainly do worse than this.
I don’t know how many of y’all care about Star Wars, but it’s one of the fandoms I’ve wandered in and out of over the years.
I see a lot of people freaking out over today’s news that Disney has acquired Lucasfilm as though it’s some kind of sign of the End Times.
Let’s remember that Lucasfilm has been in creative freefall since at least the mid-90s, with the release of the special editions of the original trilogy. In fact, the only great Star Wars live-action product to come out of the company since Return of the Jedi was Disney’s Star Tours. Sure, the comics and cartoons have been great, but there’s no reason to expect them to be anything less now owned by the world’s best cartoon company which just so happened to have purchased the world’s best comics company in the recent past. You know, that company that produced the original Star Wars comics.
Let’s also remember that Disney has proven to be excellent stewards of Pixar, Marvel, and The Muppets.
So in a worst-case scenario, this is a value-neutral transaction, but all signs point to this being at least moderately positive. So calm yo tits, y’all.
Love Jeffrey Brown. These are from his forthcoming book Darth Vader and Son.

I’m not a big fan of cake pops - typically, I want a slab of a slice on my plate (read: glutton), but the Bantha…the Bantha!!!

In addition to their Sondheim…in Jazz series, The Trotter Trio also recorded albums of music from Star Wars and The Fantasticks, as well as a Michel Legrand tribute album.
This track is a jazz take on the “Ewok Celebration” from the end of Return of the Jedi. Many/most Tumblr users are young enough that they probably have never seen the original version of Jedi that includes this song (also known as “Yub Nub”), and I weep for their loss. (Remedy that now!)
(And if you like this, you should also check out Crackerjack Junction’s barbershop quartet take on the song.)
In case Barney’s Ewok Line presentation went by too fast for you, here’s the entire thing slowed down.
