			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A while ago <a href="http://www.smugbaldy.com/2007/04/23/um-dad-why-is-aunt-beru-so-crunchy/">I posted a story</a> about what could probably be described as the least fun Star Wars action figure around.  Since I&#8217;m an original fan (having seen Star Wars no fewer than 6 times in 1977) I thought I should try to bring you  a few more Star Wars collectibles for your enjoyment.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.smugbaldy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/the_force.jpg" alt="the_force" title="the_force" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-563" /></p>
<p>The first one is perfect for the Star Wars collector that has just about every action figure ever made.  Yes, it&#8217;s a little known fact that Kenner came out with The Force action figure in early 1978. Like The Force, the Kenner version is an energy field that surrounds and penetrates all living things in the universe, and it&#8217;s a most valuable addition to your collection if still in the original packaging.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.smugbaldy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/the-dark-side.png" alt="the-dark-side" title="the-dark-side" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-566" /></p>
<p>As every Star Wars geek knows, however, The Force comes in two distinct flavors.   The Dark Side is known to have caused Anakin Skywalker to become the evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader &#8211; and Kenner is said to have released a limited production run of 128 Dark Sides between August and October 1978.  I had two of these &#8211; both in mint condition, but I couldn&#8217;t resist temptation, so I opened one.  Other than being disturbed by other&#8217;s lack of faith, I thought it worked out quite well.</p>
<p>Let me know if you see any other cool Star Wars toys, and I&#8217;ll keep you posted if I  find more too! </p>

<p>That&#8217;s right kids &#8211; it&#8217;s the official Kenner Star Wars Owen Lars and Aunt Beru (Charred) Action Figures.  Relive those exciting scenes from <em>Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope</em>, in which the chemistry between Owen and Beru, Luke&#8217;s Skywalker&#8217;s adpotive parents, literally sizzles after they give some trigger-happy Imperial Stormtroopers a brief spot of target practice.  Join these intrepid Rebels as they stand up to the evil galactic empire with real &#8220;Smouldering  Action!&#8221;   Be the first kid on your block to be able to accurately re-stage the first major crime scene set in the Star Wars Universe, and   conduct your own forensic analysis for the war crimes tribunal!</p>
<p>Fun for the whole family.  Recommended for Ages 4 and Up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this on <a href="http://www.stupidevilbastard.com" target="_blank">StupidEvilBastard.com</a> and it cracked me up pretty well.  That, of course, is due to the fact that I&#8217;m a true Star Wars geek, and know most of these lines.  Anyway, here&#8217;s a selection of lines from Star Wars that are improved by using the word &#8220;pants&#8221;:</p>
<ul>
<li>I find your lack of pants disturbing.</li>
<li>You are unwise to lower your pants.</li>
<li>The Force is strong in my pants.
</li>
<li>Chewie and me got into a lot of pants more heavily guarded than this.
</li>
<li>I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants.
</li>
<li>Your pants, you will not need them.
</li>
<li>You came in those pants? You&#8217;re braver than I thought.
</li>
<li>In his pants you will find a new definition of pain and suffering
</li>

</li>
<li>Pull up! All pants pull up!
</li>

</li>
<li>These aren&#8217;t the pants you&#8217;re looking for.
</li>
<li>Alderan is peaceful, we have no pants!
</li>
<li>A disturbance in the pants. I have not felt this since near my old master&#8230;
</li>
<li>He has no time for smugglers who drop their pants first sign of Imperials
</li>
<li>Looks like someone&#8217;s beginning to take an interest in your pants.
</li>
<li>The pants will be down in moments, sir, you can begin your landing
</li>
<li>Lock the door. And hope they don&#8217;t have pants.
</li>
<li>That blast came from the pants! That thing&#8217;s operational!
</li>
<li>Your pants can deceive you, don&#8217;t trust them
</li>
<li>&#8220;I want them alive. No pants.&#8221; -Vader
</li>
<li>Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your pants.
</li>
<li>I am altering the pants. Pray that I don&#8217;t alter them any further
</li>
<li>Away with your pants, I mean you no harm!
</li>
<li>Great, Chewie, great. Always thinking with your pants.
</li>
<li>The Pants are what gives a Jedi his power
</li>
<li>I&#8217;m taking Captain Solo &#8230; and his pants
</li>
<li>&#8220;Don&#8217;t do that, my pants are dirty.&#8221; &#8220;My pants are dirty, too.&#8221;
</li>
<li>Search your pants, you know it to be true.</li>
</ul>
