Far, far away.
Via Dangerous Minds:
In 1979, the United States Department of Transportation’s National Highway and Safety Administration produced this little gem, which reworked the Star Wars cantina scene (complete with music) to promote the buddy system—“friends don’t let friends drive drunk.” Of course, they weren’t able to secure any major characters, but Wookieepedia informs me that the intoxicated alien is of the Talz race, while his Durosian friend keeps him safe from harm by taking the keys(?) to his YT-1300 light freighter and driving them both home.
Fight!

That Star Wars/Mad Max mashup you’ve been waiting for, deftly stiched together by 20 year old Indian editor Krishna Shenoi.

Skellig Michael island, Co Kerry, July 2014
So we can afford to give a hugely wealthy film production company free use of a State asset, namely an Air Corps helicopter, for the filming of Star Wars on Skellig Michael (“Star Wars given free use of Defence Forces resources”).

Well, not the outstanding ethnographic collection of the National Museum for example, as it can’t afford to display it, nor the closed George Bernard Shaw Museum, and probably not the archives of the Jewish Museum for much longer, and most definitely not a Rubens at Russborough House.
It is time for the Minister for the Arts Heather Humphreys to start typing some invoices and fully realise the value of our cultural capital, as I am sure Disney’s accountants do.

You’ve seen similar ‘duels’ but this is how it should be done.

I’ve been requested to play some Star Wars themes at an upcoming funeral and thought it would be fun to hastily throw together a rough medley. Although it’ll be more subdued on the day, the Glasthule organ IS the father.

Brotherhood Workshop’s blocky retelling of the time the Jawas set out to capture a wandering astrodroid in the desert of Tattooine. To wit:
There’s a reason they invented restraining bolts.
