4. Intergalactic Investor Trade with Disney’s IPO

This is not exactly a creation, but it shows that even in the category of finance, the Force has proven to be strong enough. Disney’s acquisition of the Star Wars franchise boosted their net value by $2 million. 🙂 To borrow from Yoda-speak: “Invest in Disney, we should.”

 

3. Shakespearian Star Wars

“Verily, A New Hope.” You’d be a real wordsmith and Stormtrooper if you dig this thing. Believe it or not, there is a MASHUP of Shakespeare and Star Wars. It’s a hypothetical and daring book by Ian Doescher that explores Shakespeare’s writing and intersperses it with the Star Wars plot – a real collector’s item for hardcore Star Wars fans. It’s real fan fiction taken to the next level.
