I don’t know how long it actually took Han and Leia to reach Bespin without lightspeed/hyper drive, but it was worth highlighting. Hope you like!

I want to thank all the Blue Milk Special readers who have donated to help Emily. I’ve included a photo of Emily in her amazing Ashoka costume. Unfortunately, Emily now struggles to walk. This 10 year old Star Wars fan has to have brain surgery in a couple of weeks time. She has Moyamoya disease and Carey has set up a FaceBook page all about it and Emily’s progress at the Chronicles of Moyamoya Disease. An official 501st fundraising event is being held on June 8 at the Holiday Bowl in Groton (Connecticut) with Star Wars characters in full costume on hand. See the flyer here for more details.

“Obi-Wan” and “Padme” (James Arnold Taylor and Catherine Taber) from the Clone Wars sent Emily a a personal video! She has also received an offer from the Make a Wish Foundation’s Connecticut Chapter. I can’t stress this enough to readers, that even as little as $5 dollars means something to her family. Their goal is $5000 and I am proud to say that Blue Milk Special has helped towards that, however there is still a loooong way to go. Remember, if you donate and leave the message “Blue Milk Special” you will get an exclusive BMS strip featuring Darth Vader and IG-88! You’ll also get our respect.
