This post will not help you with your Jedi skills.
It will not help you host the best Star Wars party ever.
And it will not help you even a little bit in trying to figure out whether it was Han Solo who REALLY helped Luke destroy the Death Star, or if it was mostly due to bad piloting on that second TIE fighter’s part.
BUT, this video will put a big smile on the face of even the most cranky Besalisk’s face.
Enjoy!

‘Just so you know, my husband rocks! Why, you ask? Last year he gave me Star Wars Lego mini figs for Christmas, and my birthday, AND one day he came home with a Leia as Boushh and Han in Carbonite, JUST because he loves me. I know!

So the story goes that Chewie owes Han Solo his life. When Han was in the Imperial Army, he refused orders to kill Chewie. Han was discharged, and took up smuggling to make ends meet. Chewie came along to protect Han, to pay his debt as it were.
I’m not sure a life-debt necessarily means life-long friendship, but it surely is the case with those guys. (Assuming they are translating Chewbacca’s words correctly…You know, he could be cursing up a storm, and we wouldn’t know it! GAAAAAAAH!) Their loyalty is fierce, like family.

I am an artist. I am not bragging or anything, I actually went to art college, and have spent the past 20-ish years in the field of design and advertising. In one of my art history classes back in college, I remember being told that Michelangelo once said: “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” I know what he meant. I felt exactly the same about the 5″x5″x9″ block of mozzarella cheese on my kitchen counter, just waiting for me to carve it for our first M4P.
I am of course no Michelangelo! But it was still pretty successful. As far as Star Wars fan art is concerned, it definitely turned out pretty cheesy…which of course was the whole point.
