NASA Discovers Tatooine

[Superflyer]

Astronomers have discovered a planet that orbits two Suns, and nickname it Tatoonie after Luke Skywalker's home world.

NASA may have located the childhood home of Luke Skywalker. The discovery of a planet that orbits two suns was made even more awesome when it was named Tatoonie, in honor of Star Wars. Luke’s desert home world famously had two Suns, which scientists claimed was impossible. The bad news is that researchers think that the planet is more like Saturn than the Tatoonie from the movie.

I think I speak for most nerds when I say that Star Wars is dull, and half-witted. It is the 'geeks' who primarily like that idiotic franchise. Please stop mistaking us for them.

How long before Lucas sues NASA/astronomers? My guess paperwork already in progress.

Yah, but once Lucas wins he'll add blinking moons and a random "nnnnoooo" to the planet.

Stupid Lucas.

Thats awesome, now I can get out of my yard work by telling the old lady that I was heading over to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters. And she can't argue because there's a Tatooine.

More likely she just won't give a crap anyways.
