My new company’s CEO is an avid collector of Star Wars paraphernalia and when I visited the Raleigh office last week, I took a few snaphshots with my cameraphone of the life-sized characters he has bought.  I apologize for the blurriness but will have clearer photos today (upon request) from a coworker who took photos with an actual camera in addition to more characters placed throughout the building.

 

Anakin guards the front door

So does Yoda

Darth Maul’s saber has seen much, much better days

My coworker stepped in front of me as I was taking this.  This is the scene where Han Solo is frozen.  Pay no attention to the almost-franchise-wrecker to the left of the photo.

Cool, but a total waste of cash...

Has there been any mention of a Dark Side?

Pictures of a CEO's life-size Star Wars figures taken with a camera phone. Further proof that nerds are taking over the world.

Great point (and funny) although I would replace "Are" with "Have". :)

Um...that is not art. I know art when I see it, and folks we don't even allow stuff like that in San Francisco! Hee! <wink> I only wish we were all baseball dorks instead. On the other hand, it has your basic good versus evil and who could ever argue with/against that theme?

Hey - where are the mounted Dr. Suess (sp?) characters these days...?

The Dr. Seuss characters were (are) at a coworkers house, not our office.
