Chewbacca and The Colbert Report

If you want to catch the commentary on Star Wars actor Peter Mayhew becoming a citizen,
the first episode of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" can be streamed here!
(Jump to about 19:45 into the show. It's at the end.)

But the entire show is brilliant.
Colbert has a headline-reading contest with anchorman Stone Phillips.
So watch the whole thing to laugh aloud
-- bugging everyone around you. ;-)

Faster, More Intense: Anthrax on Star Wars

Next up in my ongoing series on starwars.com of interviews with bands and celebs who dig Star Wars, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante talked to me about why he's a fan.

He's one of those fans who has fun with his geekdom -- in fact, he was more than happy to send me pictures of himself drumming while wearing a Darth Vader helmet! ;-)

Of course, Vader isn't the only character he admires...

Sample quote from the interview:

"I identify the most with Nien Nunb," Benante smiles. "I sometimes mumble in the morning and it sounds like I'm speaking Sullustan. And it continues to sound that way until I have my coffee."
