We might as well call this “Saul Wars” — Featured below is a hip video portraying what it would have been like if Star Wars was filmed two decades before it first came out.

I have a good friend of mine who, during the Vancouver Olympics, became the world’s biggest fan of men’s figure skating.  Weird, right?  I mean, I think most people are aware of figure skating during the Winter Olympics, but like she skipped past curling and other Internet favorites and just latched onto men’s figure skating, […]
