How did I miss that Topher Grace made an extended five minute trailer of *all* Star Wars films that’s actually pretty awesome…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Wonder What Their Tourism Slogan Is? (February 2008)

Given our province’s recent track record, “Access One” would probably be good enough and they wouldn’t even need to make a new sign!
