NASA Shuttle to Launch Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber

Quote:

When the space shuttle Discovery launches the STS-120 astronaut crew in October, the force will be with them.

Stowed on-board the orbiter, in addition to a new module for the International Space Station, will be the original prop lightsaber used by actor Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in the 1977 film "Star Wars". The laser-like Jedi weapon is being flown to the orbiting outpost and back in honor of the 30th anniversary of director George Lucas' franchise.

Before it can make its trip to orbit though, the lightsaber will first fly to Houston, Texas, home of NASA's Johnson Space Center, by way of Southwest Airlines and a Star Wars-studded send off from Oakland International Airport in California on Tuesday.

Chewbacca, the towering Wookiee best known from the film as Han Solo's co-pilot on the Millennium Falcon, will officially hand the lightsaber over to officials from Space Center Houston during a ceremony at the airport. Joining "Chewie" will be other characters from the six-part sci-fi classic, including Boba and Jango Fett and together they help push back the airplane on the tarmac.

Once on the ground in Houston, the flight will be greeted by a troop of Stormtroopers and other Star Wars notables including the droid R2-D2, who will deliver the lightsaber to a waiting line of Hummers outside the baggage claim of the William P. Hobby Airport. Accompanied by a police escort, the soon-to-be real space artifact will be driven to Space Center Houston to be exhibited inside a vault that currently displays moon rocks.

I read about Luke's lightsaber.......meh.

**BehrItAll** · 09-04-2007, 12:24 PM

yea, not so exciting.
Now if were to fight in space with a real lightaber, that'd be exicting.

**Cryostar** · 09-06-2007, 05:05 AM

Yeah, I wasn't really getting it....they're putting a peice of metal on the shuttle....wooo.

Found this in my travels...

Jedi Directory

**BehrItAll** · 09-14-2007, 06:00 PM

That's a pretty cool site.
I like the way it's organized into eras.
Looks like they are still building it but it had pretty banners.

**Cryostar** · 09-18-2007, 05:46 AM

Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat.

Plus it's all jedi, you people need to find a way to keep track of yourselves.

**BehrItAll** · 09-18-2007, 07:37 PM

Maybe you should start a site for the Sith.

**Cryostar** · 09-19-2007, 05:29 AM

I thought about it, but then I thought it would give you Jedi an easy way to find us....we can't go having that, can we?

**BehrItAll** · 09-19-2007, 08:06 PM

I don't need a site to find you Sith.

**Cryostar** · 09-20-2007, 05:20 AM

I think you do....we're all around, not like we're wearing name tags or something.

**BehrItAll** · 09-20-2007, 07:12 PM

I can smell a Sith from a mile away.
