Hello everyone!

First of all, I want to say Happy New Year to all, and, more importantly, of course, HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!! It's so exciting! This year's going to be great (it would be even better if I could convince my parents to take me to CIV... we'll see).

Now, down to business. When I came across this picture (-->), I was instantly reminded of a creatures face (don't ask me why I haven't thought of this before... maybe it's just the angle). The Superlaser circle (for lack of a better title) is the eye, and and uncompleted ring just under the equator, so to speak, is the mouth.

Then I wondered, was this intentional? Did George Lucas make it look like a predatory animal on purpose, to make our subconscious minds realize that this was a dangerous thing? I think so. I could easily see filmmakers doing this do get their point across without making it overly obvious (which is a problem with a lot of films).

Do you see this? (You might need to cross your eyes or look a bit past the screen if you still don't see it - kind of like those magic eye things, where a picture is hidden within a bunch of swirls of colour) Or am I just making things up that aren't there?

May the Force be with You, and Happy 30th Anniversary!

P.S. Now that I've looked at it more (and follows my own advice (I crossed my eyes), it kind of looks like a shark's face. The shadow makes the right part in the picture look kind of flat along the equator.
