For a lot of us, it's been looking a bit more like Hoth than Naboo outside this fine winter. After scanning the web for Star Wars news, a couple fun posts caught my eye. First up from a CNN iReport, Star Wars fan Lukifurcub decided to recreate The Battle of Hoth using figures and vehicles upon hearing the media tag "Hothlanta." This was following Atlanta's recent big snow storm. Click here to view the photo gallery. And in more snow fun, did you ever notice that when you shovel your front walk it kind of looks like the Death Star trench? Of course you have. We've all thought it while humming John Williams music. Aaron Dabelow and Mike Nelson decided to film it...
UPDATE: Contnuing with the Hothlanta theme, ForceCast listener Glenn from Dawsonville, Georgia sent over news that the tag-line was being taken one step further...
"Atlanta has been shut down all week due to more snow than the city was prepared to deal with. The term "Hothlanta", a play on Hotlanta, really caught on and someone grabbed the domain name and started selling tee shirts. Here is the most popular:
An AT AT in front of Waffle House. If you have never been here, Waffle Houses are everywhere. Here's the site if your interested - hothlanta.com ."
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
