If Lego Star Wars wasn't enough for ya....

Here's an email I got from cuz today....


Subject: Star Wars Light Saber Is Finally Launched into Space


I know many of you have repeatedly said to yourself, wouldn't the
Universe be a better place if Luke Skywalker's light saber had actually
ventured into space. Well frett no more.

The actual prop from the movie the Mark Hamil held in his Jedi actor
hand is stowed away on the shuttle Discovery at the NASA Kennedy Space
Center. It will travel into space with the astronauts into the
Internaional Space Station - for seven days and will travel 6 million miles in
14 days and then will return to Earth.

What a wonderful way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fill
RETURN OF THE JEDI.

I just hope the astronauts don't hurt themselves playing with it.

If you want to watch how the lightsaber's journey began check it out at

Hope you're well.

Peace out,
Elizabeth Klaviter
Faithful Star Wars Fan and your friend.

PS. Speaking of peace and the Earth - please remember - contribute to
the health of this great planet that we live on.

Love you cuz!!!!

Very cool, but it is the 30th anniversary of Star Wars....Return of the Jedi is the only one I saw in the theater.
Jedi was in 1983....I was 6....and I will now turn off the nerd button.
