Some nice images, but am I missing something because in most of them the only thing that is at all Star Wars seeming about them is a title under the image that includes the word "Wars"?

They are all stylized versions of the main Star Wars characters. So the first image in my post is the Star Wars good guys as if Star Wars were actually a 40s sci-fi serial. From left-to-right, R2, C3PO, Luke, Chewie, Obi-Wan, Han, Leia. In the Noir one it's R2, Leia, 3PO, Obi-Wan, Han, Chewie, Luke.

In the dark side group CP posted, Storm Trooper, Vader, Boba Fett.

Some take more liberty than others, but they've all got some thematic reference to the source character.

Oh, I realized that. And I figured the other western dude was Boba Fett, but I wasn't sure. Easy to get the serials and the samurais, but the noir was tough for me. Thanks for the key on that one.

If this is true, Holy crap!

The drug targets the double-stranded RNA produced by the infected cell not the virus itself. If the virus "adapts" it will no longer be able to infect the cell.

The main issue with this breakthrough is that it seems to be based on a single trial and was released to a somewhat dodgy journal.

I like it!

Unless the cancer is spread from person to person, how would it develop a resistance within the population (as opposed to the odd person for whom it is ineffective)?
