SW Themed Deal Or No Deal

I suppose SW works for ratings, because on April 28, there will be an entire SW-themed episode of "Deal Or No Deal." The model babes will be wearing stormtrooper armor and slave Leia outfits, and two lucky SW fans will battle out in an all-or-nothing contest for money. Let's hope it's not worthless Republic dataries. Better yet, they will be helped out by Artoo, Chewie, and Carrie Fisher. (If you've never seen the show before, each contestant has a small cadre of people who urge the contestant to either press on or take the money and run.) The banker will make an appearance as Darth Vader.

Given the number of singers, athletes, and other celebrities who have turned up on this show, I'm not too surprised they came up with a SW episode. But dangnabbit, how come I didn't hear about scouting for this episode's contestants?!

SW Crime Wave

First came the news last week that the Welsh co-founder of the Jedi Church was attacked by drunk guy dressed in a Darth Vader mask and wielding a crutch ("Vader" went on to attack the news crew that was interviewing Rev. Jedi Dude).

Now, someone in Kansas has committed a robbery while wearing the mask of "a Star Wars character." Seriously, the character isn't specified:

Yeah, that'll make it easy to find him!
