Here’s A Howdy-Doo!

Stone_darthLEIA: I love you!

HAN: I know.

Vader gives the order, and Han Solo begins to be lowered into a steaming pit of carbonite.

Then, using a lockpick device secreted in his belt, Han frees himself from the table-thingie he is strapped to and springs toward Lord Vader.

Vader, taken totally by surprise, loses his balance and falls into the pit of carbonite.

The result may be seen to the left.

NOT!

This here is actually a close-up of the Vader head on the Washington National Cathedral that TimJ told us about.

Got the picture off the sculptor’s site.

  1. I’m missing the fascination with Star Wars this time around, just like I did all the other times a Star Wars movie came out, but my son really likes it and the movie start’s over here tomorrow. Last week there was a book/game/poster signing event in which the original actor who played Darth Vader (don’t know his name but there’s the letter ‘p’ in it somewhere I think!)was extracting substancial sums of money from childrens piggy-banks, to grant them this dubious ‘honour’ (I’m astounded that there were apparantly queues)…anyway, my son was fortunate enough to get his picture taken with a stormtrooper, and some dude wearing the original Darth Vader suit thingy. He was well impressed, I almost wish I could load it for you to see!
    God Bless.
