Role of Jabba the Hutt Cast In All Prairie Dog Version of Star Wars

If you thought the upcoming 3D re-releases of the Star Wars saga was the last you’d see of the popular sci-fi universe, think again. Lucasfilm, Ltd. has announced that it will begin shooting an all prairie dog version of the classic films, starting – as the originals did – with the fourth film in the series, A New Hope.

Noted prairie dog actor, Squeaks Brando, will play the role of Jabba in the scene initially re-added to the film in the 1997 re-release human version.

Cat Develops New Way to Get Fur on Clothes

Wallace, an 3-year-old entrepreneur kitten from Modesto, CA, has launched a new service into beta that ingeniously gets cat fur all over customers’ clothes while still in the dryer.

“We found that cat fur was only coating clothing 72% of the time in homes that contained one more cats,” said Megan James of Tensor PR on behalf of the company. “This represented a significant missed opportunity that Wallace’s new product addresses.”
