Save the Lars HomesteadThe Pioneers were able to see with their own eyes that the Lars Homestead - lovingly dubbed the Igloo - has suffered tremendously from the climate in Tunisia.
Soon this iconic movie location will perish and thus be lost to Star Wars fans forever. We cannot allow that to happen.
The plan is to go back, fully armed with the needed tools and plaster, with a small group of Pioneers (the four founders of the group) for a full week sometime in 2011 or 2012
Although I appreciate the idea, it seems that this trip will only save it for a certain period of time. Wonder if it's better to set up a fund to support someone who lives there to maintain the place or build an enclosure. The environment's just too rough for this type of dwelling to persist for any lengthy duration.

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerNow is really is an igloo!
God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

I'm guessing that, when it was originally built, it was white. Give it time and it'll be back to that familiar color.

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFTSave the Lars Homestead?! A cause! This is awesome. Like 96% of those that follow a cause, you can totally count me in...but only once I can skip work to attend some sort of protest. Don't expect me to actually go out there and do something about it. Who do you think I am?
The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit. Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFTSimply a joke, in actuality unrelated to the real cause. I was spoofing all the "Save the..." campaigns and those who support them without actually committing to any serious effort. Obviously it wasn't very funny :(

Everything is a psyop!Here is a "Star Wars" related news story I found on CNN this morning.
"Fans of the late-1970s "Star Wars" movies probably know that Luke Skywalker, a reluctant hero battling his way through the film's evil Galactic Empire, was raised on the windswept plains of Tatooine, a desert wasteland planet located on the outer rim of director/writer George Lucas’ fictional galaxy."

That's for sure. The term middle of nowhere has never been more fitting.
