Apparently, Dick Cheney doesn't mind being called Darth Vader:

While the vice president’s 36-minute speech was characteristically somber in tone, he displayed a flash of humor in acknowledging that his imperious manner has earned him the nickname "Darth Vader" in some quarters. "I've been asked if that nickname bothers me, and the answer is, no," he said. "After all, Darth Vader is one of the nicer things I’ve been called recently."

So, here's the question: Are people really calling him meaner things than "Darth Vader," or does he just take "Darth Vader" as a compliment? I think I can guess...

It's about time we got some decent rumors on the live-action TV series planned for 2009! If you would truly like to stay 100% spoiler-free, you may want to skip this article, but I don't really think there are major plot spoilers here. Just tidbits of what kind of characters and situations we may see.

However, reading it was worth it to see this picture:

Here are the results of the X-Wing launch I blogged about earlier:

Ouch. Somebody with digital video talent should overlay a TIE Fighter onto this video, so it's not so embarassing.

Rocket-Powered X-Wing, with R2-D2

It can even "lock s-foils in attack position." Amazing.

Here are some more details on how it was constructed.
