Check out these screenshots for the new Star Wars: Cantina game for iPhone:

Serving Drinks At The Thirsty Bantha Cantina

A Galaxy Of Customers
Players are tasked with serving the right drinks to the right customers in a busy cantina full of Jawas, Stormtroopers, even Hutts, all clamoring for their favorite libations. Earn decorations and other goodies to customize your cantina and really draw in the crowds!

Somebody Forgot To Let The Wookie Win It Seems...

Nia Adea And The Bartender Robb After A Tough Shift...
What a terrific idea for a game! I love the vibrant, cartoony look of the characters. I wonder if the band knows how to play more than the one song?
The Star Wars: Cantina App is available for download from iTunes for $4.99!

Owners of the original, 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System can totally relate to this one:

Stumbled upon these laughing, frog-like origami creatures by Joseph Wu:

Joseph Wu's Origami Warai
A professional origami artist who hails from Vancouver, Wu calls these amazingly expressive, adorable, little figures Warai, which means “laughter” in Japanese.
Here are a few of my favorites:

A Red Warai Waving Happily

A Green Warai With Open Arms

A Very Happy Blue Warai

More Of These Happy Fellows
Awesome!

Alright, I admit it: I bought this Totoro plush for myself the other day…

He’s even got a little bag of acorns slung over his shoulder…

Too cute.
If you haven’t already guessed, I’m a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki’s work; My Neighbor Totoro happens to be my all-time favorite, with NausicaƤ Of The Valley Of The Wind and Spirited Away rounding out my top three Miyazaki films.
