    I'll apologize ahead of time, but can anyone tell me who that is in the first one? He just doesn't look familiar to me...

    Also, that TARDIS one is pretty sweet... #starwars

    I never saw Alien, but I've been meaning to. I liked Aliens, but I was always told that they were very different movies. #starwars

    Nights In White Satin?

    Vader in black velvet, never reaching the end,
    Tuskens they've painted, never meaning to send.
    Boba in ways I'd missed with these eyes before.
    Just what the point is, I don't know anymore.

    'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

    Gazing at Godzilla,flames from the mouth,
    Just what they're thinking through I can't understand.
    Some try to tell me, the art they cannot defend,
    Just what you want to be, Mothra will be in the end.

    And I love you, yes I love you,
    Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
