The Princess Live On-stage
Had no idea she woke up next to a dead, gay politician!Surrounded by over-stuffed furniture, artificial plants and even a plush R2-D2, Carrie Fisher brought her one-woman show to the Boston University Theater this week. In "Wishful Drinking" Ms. Fisher recounts many of the events that have shaped her life. From growing up as a child of Hollywood "royalty" to the failed marriages and time spent in and out of rehab centers, Carrie Fisher tells it all. And yes, she does stop to reflect a bit on her part in the greatest film trilogy of all time, even donning the familiar "bun wig" to do so. "Wishful Drinking" runs in Boston through October 26th.

The Vintage 28-Back Project
But still no crispy Owen and Beru?In the early days of Star Wars toys, Kenner produced an action figure of every character imaginable...almost. Lucky for us, forum member tykrazen took it upon himself to fill in some of the holes in the original line with spot-on custom made figures in the "vintage" style. Complete with weapons and hand-made cardbacks, he was able to create seven never before seen figures that blend seamlessly in with the original Kenner line of action figures. So take a trip to "what could have been" and stop into the forums and check out these amazing custom pieces of vintage-styled goodness. While there, make sure to take a moment and leave this talented customizer some well-deserved feedback.
