Judy Wood vindicated? (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294910,00.html)

i think the real question is, is it lukes original lightsaber, or the one obiwan took from anakin to give luke?

[PhantomWolf]

If you ask me it is a total waste of a priceless prop. That and it just adds even more space junk to track.

[defaultdotxbe]

it might boost the private sector into space travel, some nerd will go up there to retrieve it, lol

[Drudgewire]

It reports the priceless piece will be greeted in Houston by a group of Stormtroopers
We prefer the term "Men in Black" these days thank you very much. http://www.lethalwrestling.com/upload/colbert.gif

Maybe Scotty needed something to play with?

Remember the comic strip "Bloom County" when Opus proposed the "Star Trek defense system." Which would cost billions of dollars, because it was an orbital shield made up of dollar bills. That makes more sense, than anything Judy Wood says/writes.

But I think Opus bought Ecuador, and didn't save the receipt.

That was my first thought when I heard about it.

Just watch... 100 years from now they'll be launching a ten trillion dollar colony ship to Mars with 10,000 people on board and George Lucas's antique publicity stunt will come tearing along at orbital speed, puncture a fuel tank and send the whole mess crashing into Poughkeepsie.

No, it was Oliver.

[Drudgewire]

No, it was Oliver.
Oliver did the work but I was thinking Steve was the money man.

Although I may have confused him with Opus buying Equador. :o

I got a good laugh out of that, SOT.

Then I thought: Naah...that light saber will just be another piece of space junk that gets eradicated by the two trillion dollar spaced based laser launched 10 years earlier.

The NWO will not be taking this energy beam weapon backwards through time, and will not use it to blast the towers. And I'm saying this with the hypothetical that the NWO exists, which is doesn't.

EDIT: Not what I thought. Curse you, laziness, for not making me read the article.
