Christmas Sundries for Star Wars Fans

Yes, this really did happen!  You are awake.

In 1980, when only A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back had been unleashed on the world, George Lucas commissioned a Yale University music professor to do this to us.

Professor Maury Yeston led stars like Anthony Daniels (C3PO) in this festive musical extravaganza.

But here's a hidden gem too.  Check out the second of the two YouTube videos on the right hand side.  Both have tracks from the Star Wars carol chorus, only hindsight has elevated this one even more.

The teenager enthusiastically taking the role of R2D2 was Jon Bongiovi, a local schoolboy.

We know him better as Jon Bon Jovi.  This IS his musical debut and first release!

What happened when the Magi bumped into a Jedi Master on the way to see Jesus?

Well, apparently no-one checked for a wormhole, time machine or any other appliance that would allow this to occur.  Instead they all posed for Tim Elliot to draw a cartoon marking the occasion.

When you think about it, the Jedi really do quite look like the Three Wise Men.  At least they do as they're most commonly rendered.

Now you too can place Jedi at the Nativity on your Christmas quilt.  Now all that you have to do is establish a tradition of sewing a Christmas quilt.
