Star Wars Rose Parade.

I can imagine the look of disbelief on those that don’t read the news when they see this marching down the street.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the pictures. This will be an interesting Rose Parade. Thats for sure. The hundreds or even thousands of Star Wars fans will likely show up. All dressed in their personal Star Wars attire.I quote:

For a man accustomed to working behind the camera lens, Lucas embraces his latest challenge as the public face of the 118th annual Tournament of Roses on New Year’s Day.

George Lucas is the Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade. Joining a long list of famous Marshalls that range from Walt Disney to Shirley Temple. He is the face of the Rose Parade. A list of the past Grand Marshals can be found on wikipedia.

It seems fitting for Lucas to serve as the ambassador of the 2007 Rose Parade that will feature the three-piece “Star Wars Spectacular,” which commemorates the 1977 release of “Star Wars,” the first film in the sci-fi six-pack. The procession will include two floats depicting the moon of Endor seen in the “Return of the Jedi” and the garden planet of Naboo. Darth Vader will lead a group of 200 stormtroopers, assembled from around the world, who belong to a fan club called the 501st Legion.
