Here’s something nice and nerdy to round out today. Ross Turpin from Star Crossed Tattoo in Hong Kong created this image of C-3PO’s hands paying. Now my Star Wars-fu isn’t always up to par, but I don’t recall anyone actually praying to the force. Maybe Droids have their own religion, with Asimov’s laws serving as their commandments.
