gold c3po Lego – cool.
From 2000 to 2007, the Lego Star Wars C-3PO was a light gold colour. Then, in 2007, Lego made 10,000 chrome gold limited edition C-3PO Minifigures and they were inserted into random 2007 LEGO Star Wars Sets for lucky buyers to get a suprise. Also, five 14-carat gold C-3PO Minifigures were produced. In 2008, the colour of C-3PO was changed to a darker shade of gold and is used in LEGO sets today.

Darth Vader at the beach surfing
Let’s go surfing – Darth Vader style. Darth searching for the perfect wave. Darth Vader at the beach surfing
In one of the Star Wars Role-Playing Game books there was an Alliance Intelligence Reports and it says the final destination of students of the Galactic Outdoor Survival School during their punishing final examination was called Ninth Aquatic Zone or the AquaZone 9. This area is known for its green sandy beaches.
(maybe that's is where Vader is in this photo

Gold Star Wars Lego C3P0 (or is it C-3PO)
Gold Star Wars Lego C3PO
These came out in special packs a while ago, I guess they are rare Lego collectables.
C-3PO is a protocol droid built from spare parts by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. The droid’s was a secret, as Anakin didn’t want him taken away by his master, Watto. The number 3 in the droid’s name was Anakin’s stab to show that the droid would be the third member of his family, beside himself and his mum. According to A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, C-3PO was activated around 95 PE. By the time Anakin was freed from slavery by Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO was nearly completed. All he had missing was an outer skin and some small modifications. Eventually, C-3PO was given a gold outer skin like we see in the movies and was reunited with the astromech droid named R2-D2 years before the Battle of Yavin.
The two had many escapades dodging Olag Greck in the Kalarba System. C3PO was the victim of tampering by Movo Brattakin, who inserted an initiative submodule in his leg to help expose Greck and Jace Forno on Boonda the Hutt's moon. After these adventures, C-3PO was ultimately assigned to use in the Imperial Senate, translating the proceedings for a number of alien diplomats. It was during this time that he became "friends" with R2-D2, one of the Navy's astromech droids. Even though they had separate functions and programming, they maintained their version of friendship. Note that, despite what the Droids comics say about their meeting, the Star Wars Radio Drama infers that C-3PO and R2-D2 didn't meet until C-3PO was assigned as R2-D2's translator during routine labour assigning on the Tantive IV. When the Senator Palpatine began to gain his power, the growing Alliance took Threepio under their domain and assigned him to mediate the various agreements between the Alliance and alien worlds. One such mission led him onto the Tantive IV, where he was tagging along with R2-D2 one too many times.
When Artoo escaped from the ship in an escape pod, Threepio followed him, fearing that the Empire would only melt him down. Since then, he has been owned by Luke Skywalker following his auction at the hands of one of Tatooine's roving Jawa clans. Luke is C-3PO's 43rd master, having been owned by diplomats and starshipwrights before then. He has helped Luke whenever possible, and has also maintained his friendship with Artoo, although just like old friends they constantly bicker at each other. C-3PO was portrayed by Anthony Daniels in all three Star Wars films as well as for both Star Wars radio dramas on National Public Radio.

Make A Star Wars Darth Vader Chair
Clever and talented to make this Star Wars themed wooden chair, but ugly all the same.

Brother and Sister
Click so it is a bit easier to read.
Star Wars fact – In the book, Zorba the Hutt's Revenge, Luke Skywalker bought a housekeeping droid as a gift to Han Solo. He got it from the Jawas on Tatooine. The droid model was a KT-18 and they called it Kate for short. She had a pearlescent outer shell and was built to resemble a human female in size and shape. Cool housewarming present hey?

Pretty much what this photo show. A person in a Darth Vader mask and cape, wearing a kilt, playing Star Wars music on a bagpipe while riding a unicycle. Talent or what?

Old C-3P0 Kids Costume
I am sure this kid loved the C-3P0 dressup but, gee, a plastic mask and tin foil pants don’t really make it.

Star Wars Eggs
Eggs, not scrambled, fried or poached but Star Wars style.
In the Star Wars universe there is a restaurant called BanthaQuik located on the planet Bescane. Among the fantastic range of foods served are Tusken Special (which are Bantha meat shish-kababs) and Ithor Delight (that is scrambled Ooglata eggs)!
Bet you thought I couldn’t find a Star Wars reference for eggs, did you
