Star Wars Is Everywhere: Episode XVI

Posted By Mike on August 9, 2010

Behold the latest edition of Star Wars is Everywhere...for those who can take their minds off of Celebration V for a few minutes. If you're headed to CV within the next couple of days, travel safe and we'll see you there! If you can't make the trip for whatever reason, remember your friends at TFN, Rebelscum.com and ForceCast.net vow that there will be NO FAN LEFT BEHIND!




CSMonitor.com reports on NASA's first spacebound humanoid robot answering fan questions on Twitter. Naturally a Star Wars question made it into the mix...

"Twitter users have already peppered Robonaut 2 with wave after wave of questions, ranging from how the droid works to its mechanical lineage.

"No, no relation to Hal," read a July 30 Robonaut 2 post in response to a follower asking if it was connected to the infamous computer in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey." "Don't know if I'd want to admit to having him on my family tree if I was. [Definitely] don't condone his actions."

The fictional HAL 9000 computer killed most of its ship's crew in the 1968 Stanley Kubrick film co-written by Arthur C. Clarke.

Another follower asked if Robonaut 2 was related to the "Star Wars" bounty hunter Boba Fett. After all, its predecessor ? the original Robonaut ? had a head that resembled Fett's trademark helmet.

"Sorry, no relation to Boba Fett," Robonaut 2's handlers replied, meeting the same diplomatic challenge. "Besides, I'm a friendly robot."

The barrage of questions started as soon as NASA launched Robonaut 2's Twitter account July 26."

TFN reader Stephen S. sent over the following Jedi Master baseball news:

"Jim Rome spent a ton of time today discussing the San Diego Padres love of Jedi Master Yoda. While Rome was taking it to our green hero... it was pretty funny. You can download the audio of today's show at jimrome.com

Hey Rome! Lay off Yoda!
(Thanks Stephen!)

From the Paris Beacon News (as in Paris, Illinios):

"Some local students blasted off for adventure as the Terre Haute Children?s Museum brought space camp to Paris.

Upon entering the camp, space camp counselor Abby Koester informed students that they had earned their status as Padawan learners, a step in rank that was just next to that of a Jedi Knight. Drawing some inspiration from the Star Wars movies, Koester took the students through afternoon classes, teaching them about outer space and the planets.

?There are different levels of the Jedi, and they?re at the Padawan level, where they can learn the things a Jedi would have known about space and planets,? said Koester. ?A few of them really like Star Wars - others just like space.?

And just for fun...
