Watch: The Sith Who Stole Christmas
This Star Wars x The Grinch Who Stole Christmas mashup brings all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile. Well done OneMinuteGalactica. (Thanks, Cheri!)

I was expecting to hate this. But it’s a wonderfully refreshing way to relive all those classic Sheen soundbites from so long, long ago. (Thanks, Mel)

Some nice CG effects by Danny Choo. No doubt inspired by the VW GTI spot with David Elsewhere puppet-dancing for Gene Kelly.

This lost lightsaber scene from Return of the Jedi just debuted at Celebration V (via) reminded me of an auction Mel and I went to where George Lucas donated an ‘authentic’ Obi Wan lightsaber …
… complete with ‘authentic’ Made In China sticker still present. You know, for added realism.

Watch Darth Vader lend his breathy pipes for the new Star Wars Voices on TomTom. It’s a lot like the trailer for Comedian by Jerry Seinfeld. By that I mean it’s pretty fantastic. (Thanks, Chris)
What the Ümlaut’s got on repeat this week:
Richard Buckner‘s acoustic take on Town that practically broke my heart. The new Frank Black, er, Black Francis searing, road-worthy tune I’d love to crank somewhere between SF and LA. And back. Will Oldham, er, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy gone house-tastic on Hot Chip‘s I Feel Better. Plus, the damn Star Wars / Jay-Z parody I cannot get out of my head. So now I’ll get it stuck in yours. Enjoy.
