Aren't You A Little Short For A Stormtrooper?

Leia's quip was frequently in my mind on the weekend as I wandered around the Star Wars Celebration Europe show at the Excel Centre in London's Docklands. Still, Stormtroopers are very sexy, I think.

I had a ridiculously fun afternoon on Saturday, wandering around the Excel Centre, watching dozens and dozens of obsessive Star Wars fans, many of whom were dressed for the occasion.

This year's Celebration Europe event holds special significance, being the 30th anniversary of the release of Star Wars. And of course, London is the most appropriate European city to hold the event: all three original Star Wars films were filmed here, along with the Phantom Menace (for anyone over the age of 7, that'll be the forgettable film with Jar Jar Binks and the plot about taxes).
