Hoth Bids for Winter Olympics; Bring on the Tauntaun Races

E! Online points us to a story of one guy who says what the Winter Olympics needs to boost its popularity is being hosted on the fictional Star Wars ice world of Hoth. He's even started a Web site, www.Hoth2014.com, to promote this bid. I can see the tauntaun races now across the barren ice fields. But watch out for the Wampas.

So maybe then we can look at having the summer Olympics on Naboo.

Hey, while we're talking Star Wars, here's an envious shout-out to LT buddy Darrell, who had his SW collection recently featured on SW collecting site rebelscum.com. The Force is strong with him. He has a lifesize Yoda in his corner...no, really, right there in the corner of one room.
