May the 4th be with you!

May the 4th... "May the Force"... Because of that play on words, this particular date has been known as Star Wars Day by various pun-loving Jedi-wannabes from here to Naboo. I like Star Wars, and like most people, I prefer the original films, where Yoda was a puppet and not an animation. Where Darth Vader had that James Earl Jones voice and put heavy breathers everywhere to shame. I even like the Ewoks! So there!

Now, as you might know, an actor a lot of us love and are very devoted to was in one of those new films. He's known to have tried hitting on Keira Knightley in the process (although I personally don't see why anyone would want to - although, to be fair, didn't he mistake her for Natalie Portman?) - so let's recap with a picture of what at least looks to be the most dashing fighter pilot in the galaxy: Mr. Richard Armitage!

"So ... d'you come here often?"

A more detailed discussion on exactly where you can probably see Richard Armitage in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace can be found in the C19 forum. :) (Will require logging in. But it's worth it - interesting forum for RA fans as well as 19th century literary addicts!)

    I prefer old school Star Wars too. Ever heard that Wierd Al song, "Yoda... Y-o-d-a, Yoda!" (Look it up on YT if not and you'll laugh.)

    That's a fab song! :D So is "The Saga Begins" (American Pie). In fact, just any Weird Al song, to be honest - that man's a comedic genius!

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
