The New Haven Register has a new feature on Star Wars we were told by RavenPoeJedi, here's a clip of a funny part about a clever store owner:

So, in an homage any fan of the Force couldn't fail to appreciate, McAllen decided the diminutive Jedi master should get larger-than-life billing on the front of his seafood store.

In this case, large means a good 20 feet from pointy ear tip to ear tip - or about 10 times bigger than the Yoda in "Stars Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," which opened at 12:01 a.m. today.

"He's the smallest of the Jedis but he's the most powerful because of his spirituality and his mind," explained McAllen, owner of Dave's Seafood at 2005 Bridgeport Ave.

The Yoda portrait is just one of the ways people are celebrating the arrival of the latest "Star Wars" episode. The most popular way is lining up at area movie theaters, which are reporting instant sell outs and strong demand for tickets.

McAllen hired Sue Reed, also of Milford, to paint the enemy of the Dark Side on his front window. Reed has previously drawn many creatures there - most of them crustaceans and fish.

Customer Christine Clark of Branford said she couldn't miss the store Wednesday even though it was her first time there. She had to look twice, from up close, before realizing the giant painting is Yoda.

"That's really, really good," she said.

McAllen, 41, is quick to point out that, while the "Star Wars" series "is only movies," the stories carry themes that are universal parts of human societies: heroes, villains and the idea that "might doesn't always make right."

"I love the 'Star Wars' series," he said.

"The Jedi knights do good, even if it's bad for them."
