Nice. Where did that come from? I'd love a larger version.

Looks like one of those terrorists the Emperor warned us about.

It makes me dizzy. In other news, Sarah Palin wants to declare war on Russia. Good job, Sarah. Jesus.

Is there a Web site or program somewhere that lets you do that with any headshot?

@5,7 No, sillies. It's Shaun Cassidy. Or Zac Efron. Or somebody.

@8: Erik Estrada, i think.

He was cute as the voice of Marco, but this is waaaay better.

Why do you hate the Empire?

I totally thought Eric Estrada too, and came here for confirmation. Alas...

Can one even VOTE under an Empire (as it was still an Empire in Episode IV, not yet a Republic again)?

Luke Skywalker is a loose cannon, and can we just address the "experience" issue for one minute? I mean, really that whole Death Star thing blowing up, totally lucky shot. Plus, there's that incest rumor...

@8 Thanks a lot, now every time I look at the picture I think of Shaun Cassidy and "Da do run run" is stuck in my head.

Hmmm... I dunno. He hasn't crashed one plane like George Herbert Walker Bush, or FIVE planes, like John S. McCain III. (Unless you count the snowspeeder in Empire Strikes Back. But that was after A New Hope.)

@16, there was also that crash in the Dagobah swamp...

That kinda looks like the Battlestar Galactica insignia in the corner. In other news, artist Shepard Fairey is the new Andy Warhol. That is all.

(In a whining voice) "But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power
converters..."
Now THAT is inspiring.

I'm only voting for him if he talks only in the Joker voice.

I'd never vote for ˝Luke˝. He was a terrible actor.

My freshman college roommate thought he looked like Mark Hamill. This was in the (very) early '80s. But he was just a nice Jewish boy from Scarsdale. He used that line on a lot of high school girls, which we thought was lame.

He's a lot older now, FWIW.
