Too bad that Peter Cushing is dead.

On the flip side, what if one mixed Tesla with the Hammer Frankenstein movies?...

I read the title of this thread and flashed, instantly, to an image of a Pulp-era "Star Wars", with GM Tarkin laughing manaically beside his Planet-Shattering Giant Ray Gun aboard his Unstoppable Mobile Base (which, true to the conventions of the genre, eventually Goes Up Like the Hindenberg*)

* Watch every James Bond film, most other super-spy flicks, any over-the-top adventure movie - it's in the contract. The bad guy's base/vehicle/mountaintop lair always explodes in the end, sometimes for no adequately explained reason...

Maybe he's not.  Maybe he is Tesla, he has to continuing "re-inventing" himself as he gets "too old"  :o

You guys kill me ::)

They could have chosen a better photo  ;)

Did you know that for many of Peter Cushings scenes in Star Wars he wore carpet slippers instead of the boots he was given as the boots were too tight.  lol

Grand Moff Malamute has a certain style about it don't cha think, I might have to change my name now which appears to have become very fashionable of late ;)
