The Force works in mysterious ways

Following up on that Princess Leia photo I posted this morning, here’s a link to some “extremely rare” STAR WARS photos. Normally that would be typical Internet hyperbole, but in this case, I’d say the term is appropriate. I mean, I’ve been a STAR WARS geek for more than 30 years, and I’ve never seen most of these pics. Here, for example, is one with the gang out of costume…

In case you’re wondering, that’s (from left, back row) Han Solo, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, (middle row) Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and (front row) R2D2. No word on where C-3PO was.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November…

In honor of today, November 5 — better known as Guy Fawkes’ Day in England — here’s a clip from V FOR VENDETTA.

I saw this photo over at Boing Boing and thought it was too geekily great not to share. From the filming of RETURN OF THE JEDI (which places it sometime in 1982, I’m guessing), here’s Carrie Fisher in Princess Leia slave girl garb and her stunt double catching some rays in Tunisia (standing in for the planet Tatooine).
