Darth Hammer


For true "Star Wars" fans only. Maybe Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker should have settled their differences with dance.
This video was apparently taken at an annual event at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida called Star Wars Weekends.

"Star Wars" blooper


Having just watched all six live-action "Star Wars" movies with my son, I thought this video was funny. It shows a blooper that made it into the original "Star Wars" (1977). Enjoy! And may the Force be with you.
