Yup, it's Steampunk Starwars.  Does it work?  I'm not so sure, but a clockwork Vader makes me smile.

I don't understand why that's witty. Why is that witty? It just looks grammatically dodgy to me.

It's a sly reference to George Lucas' 'special edition' and the way he made Greedo shoot first.

Well, I assume it's a sly reference. I've been wrong before.

Or even care!

Han shot first.

It's a cult out there. Google it. If you can stand the tortured wails of poor thirtysomethings who just don't like the latest movies and frankly overrate the first three, and whose reaction to you saying "They're just movies, dammit" would be blank incomprehension.

That's not transcending geekdom.

That's ineffably sad.

It's the favicon that does it.

No, it's the petition.

The favicon is fannish in the extreme. It's the right blaster. But the petition... oy veh, my Universal Hero already.
