A long time ago in a gallery far, far away...

Isn't it always the way? You try to take a natural, un-posed shot and some git turns round and looks straight in the camera. Horrid little oik.

Original photo

Stormtrooper: "This beats the shit out of chasing each other around in space-ships'
Rebel:"Yeah."

bleep bloop whirrrrrrr chika ding!

oh yes artoo, i also find her curves and bulbous extrusions somewhat stimulating

he is soooo lonely!!!

A long time ago in a gallery far, far away... by bitrot.

The Tate Moodern is an exciting new gallery. Unlike the copycat gallery Tate Modern, the original Tate Moodern only exhibits MOO MiniCards.

Furthermore, for reasons that have never been clear, the gallery is visited only by Star Wars characters, in their Lego forms.

Interestingly, we note that Droids always go for the colourful ones, whereas Stromtroopers are drawn to dramatic, Wagnerian imagery such as hawks.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.
