Culture Buzz It's actually not an ad, but it would make a great one. Via Kevin Poulton.
Photographer Stéfan shot a different photo each day between 2009 and 2010, detailing the adventure of two stormtrooper pals, TK479 and TK455. These are my 100 favorite shots.

Baby stormtroopers are pretty adorable. Kristina Alexanderson’s project gives emotion to expressionless minions of the Dark Side.
What's worse than regular zombies? Space zombies, that's what.
Those stormtroopers must have a different interesting experience each day. (Via)
Part of a rebel undercover program launched on Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's farm. These guys definitely would have wreaked some havoc if they'd ever been deployed.
This trooper's got some moves! [Ed. note: Isn't he a little small for a stormtrooper?]
Culture Buzz Just a couple of stormtroopers doing their best to make it in a post-Empire galaxy far, far away. Ontario artists Red and Jonny have whole sets of photos dedicated to their simple lives as stormtroopers.
Darth Vader and his cohorts break it down for their adoring fans. It makes me laugh to think of these guys getting together in a garage for dress rehearsals. (Via.)
After interviewing George Lucas at Saturday's Star Wars Celebration V, Hasbo presented Jon Stewart with his own “Stewart Trooper”, complete with Uncle Sam beard attachment!
Culture Buzz This out-geeks just about everything. These fan-made Stormtrooper helmets are for the 501ST TK PROJECT, a charity event for the Make A Wish Foundation. A select few designs (including one by Weird Al's Daughter!) will be auctioned off as collectors' items. Check out some of the entries below and view the rest here.
Manja Pieters, 36, graduated from Canterbury University this week with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film. All evidence points to her being just a ferociously geeky person. See if you can spot her in this graduation photo.

One full year of the highs and lows of being an underpaid drudge on the wrong side of a losing war. At times triumphant, at times poignant, this photoessay on the lives of Stormtroopers is journalism at its finest. (Via.)
Storm Troopers in Seoul get down to some awesome Korean pop music. I wish they would come to my city! (Via.)

OK kids, lets get some prank calls going with this one. Pleeeeease?
These fifth positions of the arms-too accurate for Sand People ballerinas. Only Imperial Ballerina Stormtroopers are so precise.
These Star Wars status updates have been doing the rounds a bit in the last week, but this Stormtrooper one deserves singling out for its particular poignancy. Saddest Facebook update ever. :(
Internet pirates, that is! The French parliament is voting on some law about cutting off internet access for people who download stuff on peer-to-peer networks, and this picture is about that. Sounds bad! But more importantly, stormtroopers have FINALLY met pirates in what is sure to be a battle for the ages.
Firefighters in the U.K. have recently begun rocking this futuristic stormtrooper look. “When someone is being rescued from a fire they don't tend to notice or care how futuristic their rescuer looks,” Suffolk officer Gary Phillips says. Which is not really much of an explanation - but how strong of a reason do you really need to dress up like a soldier from space? Especially given how they used to dress.
Life's not all laser battles and searching for droids. What is down-time like on the Deathstar? No matter what you may have heard, being a part of the Empire doesn't save you from the drudgery of daily life (from Greg the Bunny).
