Guy dressed as Darth Vader runs Death Valley in 129-degree heat (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57592049-1/guy-dressed-as-darth-vader-runs-death-valley-in-129-degree-heat/)

http://asset2.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/07/02/darthchallenge.png

Say it five times fast: "Darth Vader-dressed dude dashes in Death Valley." It sounds like a comic convention fever dream, but it's very real. Jonathan Rice is a fan of heat running. It's pretty much what it sounds like. It involves running in stifling hot temperatures.

Rice is the originator of the Darth Valley Challenge, a personal challenge he sets himself to run a mile through Death Valley at the height of its heat, all the while dressed as everyone's favorite "Star Wars" villain, mask and all.

The most recent Darth Valley Challenge took place on June 30 when the National Weather Service recorded a temperature of 129 degrees. Rice made the mile run in 6 minutes and 36 seconds. He describes the run as pointless, but completely fun. Now, in its fourth year, the challenge this year also had the goal of setting a new Guinness World Record for hottest verified run.

According to the Colorado newspaper Longmont Times-Call, Rice wasn't alone this year. His support driver dressed as Chewbacca and other supporters showed up in costumes ranging from Princess Leia to R2-D2.

This may all sound a little insane to you, and Rice agrees. "This is a ludicrously dangerous endeavor. I don't support you doing it. I don't even really support me doing it," he says. His site is full of disclaimers about the dangers of heat running, such as heart attacks, heatstroke, and death.

The dangers don't dissuade Rice from his unusual hobby, however. He's planning to go again next year. Perhaps we could persuade some "Star Trek" fans to challenge him to a footrace dressed in full Klingon costumes. That would be worth braving the heat for.

Ready to feel old? Here's the cast of "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" at some event in Germany today ... and they make Yoda look sprightly.

Hard to believe it's been 30 years since ROTJ was released in 1983.

FYI, from left to right, it's Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Warwick Davis (Wicket the Ewok), Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), and Mark Hamill (Darth Vader's whiny son).

Not pictured: Harrison Ford (Han Solo). Because he's too rich.

Seriously people, you must watch Jelani Eddington's incredible rendition of the Main Title from the Star Wars Symphonic Suite on a Sanfilippo Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. It starts slow but it gets pretty crazy after a while. And the end—holy crap that end. Is he playing in the Death Star or what?

Downfall is a fantastic movie.

The Hitler thing wasn't funny the first time I saw it. Still isn't funny a million parodies later.

First time I saw it, it was about the Cowboys losing so it was funny.

Since then, not at all.

Explains everything. Mostly my allergies.

Speaking of which, this season the Death Star (aka pollen) has been kicking my butt. We are in a dry spell heat wave and my allergies are just killing me (30 Celsius + every day... not normal for this part of the world!) and lots of allergins in the air due to no rain.

Makes sense that it would go over your head. What's wrong, used up all your superior intelligence for today? :ram?::ram:

They've been building this theater relatively close to me for a year now and I had no clue it was going to be Star Wars themed (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/01/star-wars-themed-movie-theater-alamo).

The Alamo Drafthouse cinema chain has just opened a Star Wars-themed movie theater in [Omaha], presumably the country’s first. Among the features: a 10-foot Death Star hanging in the lobby, complete with green superlaser.

There’s also Imperial ship-style light panels…

That’s no concession stand… it’s a space station!

Plus Imperial signage. This is indeed the lobby you’re looking for.

And the Emperor’s throne. You can actually turn on the lobby’s fully operational Death Star using the controls. You want this, don’t you? Goooood.

“The idea behind the lobby is that we wanted to construct and install a lobby theme that would make us unique in our Omaha market as well as the midwest,” said the Alamo’s Omaha team in a statement to EW. “We also wanted a theme that was built around an iconic film and to completely own that theme to immerse our guests in the experience. That is when Star Wars came into the picture and it just so happened that we timed it out just right with the announcement of the huge plans for a new Star Wars legacy starting this December. It is a permanent installation and will be thee destination to see all of the new Star Wars films.”
