No Deal for Star Wars Fans

As if The Star Wars Holiday Special, Han shooting first and Jar Jar Binks wasn't proof enough, this should unquestionably prove that George Lucas has lost it. Or, he's just in it for the money. Or both.

Tomorrow night, NBC will air a "special Star Wars edition" of their (inexplicable) hit game show Deal or No Deal. Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Darth Vader (stepping in for "the banker") will join host Howie Mandel and those briefcase-toting models, who will be all decked out in Princess Leia slave gear (naturally).

And though it is safe to assume that it is not Peter Mayhew or Kenny Baker (get well soon, R2!) in the costumes above, "special guest star" Carrie Fisher has no where to hide. Not sure why she would do this; if anything, it sounds more like something Mark Hamill would do ...
