Today's first tidbit comes from artist Russell Walks - a design for a new Star Wars T-Shirt that I felt was worth sharing.
In other Star Wars news, Ralph McQuarrie was inducted into the 501st Legion today as an honorary member. There was a small ceremony at Lucasfilm's headquarters in the Presidio this morning, with Darth Vader and a few of his pals were in attendance. For those of you who don't know, the 501st is a charity focused organization of Star Wars fans who dress up in (primarily) Stormtrooper costumes. As Ralph was responsible for the original designs that led to those costumes, his induction was welcome, if long overdue.

It took a minute to get the Star Wars t-shirt, you should probably share the punch line for those who wont understand what the result refers to...
However, the second topic requires no further explanation. I am simply shocked, dismayed and saddened to see that Ralph has gone to the Dark Side. I dread the thought of him shouting "You Rebel scum" while consorting with the Empire in that wretched hive of scum and villainy, San Francisco!
Now I know why his 'Art of' book was all black...
