This is like one of my wildest dreams, and I really have had one like this.
I want to be there now, alas if I was I’d be arrested fairly quickly. My force would be strong here.

My Lightsaber
I was rooting around my old laptop again and came across this photo from a few years back (most of the stuff on the laptop isn’t fit for broadcast).
This was when I first laid my hands on one of the Force FX Lightsabers. I was happy that day.
The force is strong with this kid
I so wish I had one of these to push around, this kid must be so lucky.
Just so long as some brat in a snowspeeder doesn’t take his wheels from under him.
I need a Wii, NOW!
I think I just came in my pants… yeah, I did.
ILM have the power
Leeds was great, and until I can recover enough for a full transcript you’ll have to make do with this snap shot. I’m the Jedi, obviously!
I have slightly altered the photo, but not much.
Told you I’d do it
And who said I wouldn’t wear this to work? Here I am, today, sat in work dressed as a Jedi.
Funny though, I didn’t get a single second look walking from the car park, but then this is Cardiff Bay – and Doctor Who has been filmed here for the last two years. Guess they’re used to it.
The true power of the dark side
Anyone else notice how much former Cardiff City manager Lenny Lawrence and Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine look alike?
Just thought I’d mention it.
You’ve failed your highness, I am a Jedi
I pondered long and hard on this one. I’m going to a Halloween party with a mate in Leeds Uni, and couldn’t decide what to go as. I looked at replica Michael Jackson Thriller jackets on eBay, but they were all in the USA and none had any sizes listed. I tried asking a few questions to one of the sellers and had the standard American response of a few words that failed to construct a sentence, or convey any information, let alone answer my questions. I figured sending this person money would be a mistake.
So, I had my back up plan of going as Doctor Who (the Eccleston incarnation) but that’s kind of a cop out, as it basically means going as myself. It would have been a good costume mind, very life like.
There was one nugget staring at me though. The Jedi costumes I saw at Collectormania a couple of weeks back. These things range from £230 – £430 though, steep eh? But you can’t put a price on being a nerd, and I certainly can’t. The only decision was do I go for the Obi-Wan or the Anakin version?
After much soul searching, and a quick poll of the office, I plumbed for Obi Wan. This doesn’t mean I’m a good guy mind, I just like to look inconspicuous… yeah right.
So, this thing should arrive by the weekend, and when it does you can be sure I’ll have some pics up here of me wearing it. Followed by some pics of me going to the shops in it, and going to work in it.
You think I’m kidding don’t you?
