With Star Wars: Episode III only nine days away, there's plenty of buzz floating around the Interweb to share with you. First of all, I came across a piece of merchandising that actually makes Darth Tater not look too bad: the Darth Vader sprinkler.

How Stuff Works has a thorough article on the lightsaber in case you feel like building one for yourself:

Chances are that you have seen a lightsaber at one time or another, whether on the evening news or down at the local cantina. Therefore you know that a lightsaber is an amazing and versatile device that is able to cut through nearly anything in a matter of milliseconds. Have you ever wondered how these remarkable weapons work? Where does the energy come from, and how are they able to contain that energy in a rod-like column of glowing power?

Finally (for now), I came across a pretty good George Lucas rant that I couldn't have written better myself... ;-P
