Told you he did it.

The powers that be may have tried to keep this from getting out, but once more there is proof that Porkins did destroy the Death Star, and he rocked out while doing it.

Told you he did it.

How it really happened.

Porkins destroyed the Death Star.

[EDIT] Lucasfilm took offense with my interpretation. Look for an updated link here soon.

How it really happened.

Just because the song is that good.

If at some point George Lucas ever decides to work musical numbers into every scene of the Star Wars saga, I hope they're half as brilliant as this.

(Cee-Lo's ability to sing after the mask has been removed is amazing, and the backup singing pilot in the middle is wearing Porkins' helmet. I'm obsessed.)

Just because the song is that good.

Observation of the day, 5/2/06:

I found myself hoping Chris Daughtry would win American Idol, only because he sang a song I had never heard anyone on Idol sing before. Chris Daughtry, you're no Jek Porkins, but you rock.

(The opinion expressed in this post may not be that of the author should Chris Daughtry choose a song she doesn't like in the coming weeks. The author wuvs all the Idols, and would like top 5 to know they're all winners in her ears.)

A Dark Day.

Nationally, more than 2,000 US soldiers have been killed in Iraq.

Locally, it was announced that 92.3 K-Rock is flipping to all-talk in January.

And here, in my room, I check my daily dose of Star Wars to find that William Hootkins passed away on Sunday. He was Porkins, to many. Lt. Eckhardt to Batman fans, Major "It's in a safe place" Eaton to anyone who's seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. It makes me sad to know that there will never be a Star Wars convention that I will go to when I'm old just to meet one man, to thank him for the friends I found because of his character.

He was an amazing character actor, a great voice, and I really can't write any more without getting really sappy.

Clear skies, Porkins.

The world has also lost Mugsy from The Uncle Floyd Show. I watched that show all the time, even on UHF stations with bad reception, and Mugsy was great. Capt. Fork ruled. I need to get my old tapes out and relive the good times.

A Dark Day.
