Star Wars, Bar Wars

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you're probably aware that there's a big Star Wars anniversary a-coming. Here's a site that celebrates that fact. I wonder about some of the "scholarship", though. For example:

The targeting grid used for the Millennium Falcon's canon is based on a paperweight Lucas saw on Arthur C. Clarke's desk.

First off...canon is usually spelled cannon...and second...why on earth would Arthur C. Clarke given George Lucas the time of day before SW was filmed...

Anyway, true or not, there are some amusing bits in there.
