May The Fourth Be With Them
A couple from the Isle of Wight who are obsessed by Star Wars themed their wedding on the films with the groom playing Han Solo and the bride Princess Leia. They were surrounded by friends and family all dressed as characters from the sci-fi movies. They even invited director George Lucas, who wrote back saying he couldn't make it.

A Piece Of The Auction
Scotty Should Have Beamed Him Up Too
A US motorist pulled up for speeding at 110mph (almost 180km/h) told police he was racing home to catch the end of an eBay auction. Officers said the man didn't say what he was bidding on but the state trooper who stopped him said the man’s car was full of Star Wars action figures.

May The Faith Be With You
Two Star Wars-loving brothers are planning to set up a Jedi church in Wales. Barney and Daniel Jones want fellow devotees to be able to join them on Anglesey. Barney, 26 - or Master Jonba Hehol - and Daniel, 21 - Master Morda Hehol - head the UK Church of the Jedi. They say their services will include sermons on The Force, light sabre training, and meditation techniques. Although the current members are all men, women are not excluded, as Barney points out: "Princess Leia helped them out a lot."

Forest Stump
You Too Can Live Like An Ewok
Talk about suspended animation! Star Wars fans with $74,000 to spare can now buy their very own Ewok-style tree houses. Canadian carpenter Tom Chudleigh's Free Spirit Spheres are suspended in trees and accessible by rope bridges. The eco-friendly houses, which are eleven feet wide (almost three metres) can sleep four, allowing families to live in the forest without the need to worry about their carbon footprint. The hand-crafted wooden spheres are constructed using boat building techniques and are coated in fibreglass making them waterproof and robust.

That Cargo Is No Fluke, Skywalker
May the fort be with them. Astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery will have a little something extra in their gear when they blast off in October - Luke Skywalker's original Jedi lightsaber. As part of the 30th anniversary celebration of "Star Wars", NASA has agreed to carry the prop weapon into orbit. The lightsaber was handed over to the space agency by Chewbacca at Oakland Airport, not far from George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. The lightsaber will be greeted in Houston by a group of stormtroopers, along with R2D2.

Mail For Ann Droid? Post It Here

Star Wars post boxes - what a great idea. But the big problem with this plan lies not in persuading people to post their letters in these commemorative post boxes; the big problem will be making sure that no one nicks them as souvenirs. Post boxes across the US are
to be dressed up as R2D2, to celebrate 30 years since the release of the sci-fi series' first outing. Some 400 boxes will get the new look, including outside Hollywood's Grauman Chinese Theatre, one of the first cinemas to screen the historic film in 1977.

According to Forbes.com, the makeover is part of a postal campaign for the announcement of a surprise stamp on 28 March. A special stamp to commemorate the release of the first film was issued by the US Postal Service in May 1977.
Chief marketing officer Anita Bizzotto said the robot postboxes are a "little teaser" for its announcement later this month. ``When you look at a mailbox, the resemblance to R2-D2 is too good to pass up said Ms Bizzotto. The USPS website is running a clip from Star Wars in which robot C-3PO asks: ``R2D2, where are you?'' In the next shot, someone is seen slotting a letter into the little beeping robot.
