Elvis and Jar Jar

I can’t decide which is more awesome: Stormtrooper Elvis or Jar Jar Binks frozen in carbonite. Sure, the Jar Jar model probably required hours and hours to construct, but he’s Stormtrooper Elvis!

    Here comes my inner geek, but I was there that weekend back in 05. Here’s my proof:

    I’m going to have to give Jar-Jar a very slight edge.

    This might be the coolest image ever…I’m in awe at it’s awesomeness.

    This photo’s awesomeness is only limited by its lack of visible sequins.

    Just so you know. That damned Stormtrooper Elvis is a laughingstock and an embarrassment to Garrisons all over the U.S. There’s a reason why he wasn’t marching in the Rose Bowl Parade and it’s because of that. I don’t know which Garrison he belongs to, I’m just glad it’s not ours.

    FWIW - Ken - a.k.a. “The Elvis Trooper” - is a great guy, a fun guy to hang out with, and NOT an embarrassment in any way, shape or form. He’s done more to attract POSITIVE attention to those of us who dare to run around in plastic action figure outfits and show that it’s about having fun with it and not just being insecure, nerdy adults who have nothing better to do with our time. Speak for yourself. Jealousy always rears it’s head around the Elvis Trooper - ’cause you can’t beat The King! :-)

    I’d have to say that carbonite’d Jar Jar is cooler than the Elvis Trooper. I mean, the Elvis trooper is pretty bomb, but with Jar Jar in carbonite, there’s no annoying voice to deal with.

    Given that Jar-Jar “came to life” at these same ILM Studios, it’s a tribute to the good people working there that they can readily goof on - in a very unique way - their most annoying creation so far.
