Star Wars is Everywhere makes it's triumphant return after a couple weeks hiatus. There was this little event called CV that kind of monopolized most of our time for a while there. But while CV may be behind us, Star Wars remains everywhere...
IGN has a couple of Star Wars features to kick things off today. First, if you like lists, then you may enjoy perusing the IGN list of the top 100 Star Wars characters. Building off the first list feature, IGN then proceeded to quiz 75 celebs on their favorite characters. The results of which, you can view here. (via SW.com)

"For three years, Connie McPherson had debilitating leg ulcers that were so painful she sometimes couldn't sleep. Despite repeated surgery, antibiotics, steroids and other treatments, nothing helped.
Then last year, she took part in a trial for a new gel aimed at chronic wounds.
"It was the answer to my prayers," said McPherson, 58, a real estate agent in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Within weeks, McPherson said the ulcer treated was completely healed. "I tried everything possible and this is the only thing that worked."
The gel used to treat McPherson was developed by a team led by David Becker, a professor of cell and developmental biology at University College London. The gel, named Nexagon, works by interrupting how cells communicate and prevents the production of a protein that blocks healing. That allows cells to move faster to the wound to begin healing it."
While we've previously covered the 501st TK Helmet Project in a number of posts, I just thought it was kind of cool to see it get some nice coverage on CNN. (Thanks Donnie!)
