Have you seen Ewan McGregor’s smile? Seriously, have you?
I am a little torn here, I really want to show his picture on the blog, but I am thinking Ewan probably wouldn’t appreciate being volunteered into doing an “advetorial” for a toothbrush. So the link above will have to do! So click on the link, admire his smile, and then come right back to the M4P post!

Admiral Ackbar is one of my favorite Star Wars characters. (…and I promise, it has absolutely nothing to do with that fact that I do really enjoy a nice plate of deep-fried calamari…).

People are always wearing cool T-shirts to our M4Ps. But, I have to admit I always enjoy the homemade ones the most. (I also like the DIY costumes the best too. It is just so much fun seeing what people can make with some duct-tape, foam, spray pain, fabric and lots of imagination)
Amy, artist extraordinaire, designed, and made her custom shirts. (She is an illustrator, designers, crafter and just all around amazing artist – you should check her other work out here: amyblandford.com. It will TOTALLY blow you away)
Is there such a thing as a Fruit Sith? Or Fruit Jedi? If there was, Heidi Sutton would be it. She makes a Watermelon (latin name: Citrullus Lanatus) DS-1 Orbital Battle Station for every M4P. (BTW, I think Fruit Sith would be a pretty awesome upgrade to the popular game. Programmers, contact me, let’s talk!!)
This is a take on the perennial favorite pigs-in-a-blanket. Though we have taken the pigs out and added ships. We took the pigs out because, here at May the Fourth, we are talking about Star Wars, not PIGS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
(Quick googling… is there a Muppet Parody of Star Wars? YIKES there are Muppet Star Wars figurines! The Star Wars cast was even on the Muppet Show!)
