Since we live in an apartment and aren&#8217;t allowed to paint the walls, that meant posters or prints of some kind. And, being artists, we naturally wanted to create those prints ourselves. In the end, we decided to illustrate an alphabet of characters from one of our favorite franchises &#8211; Star Wars.<\/p>\n<p>Selecting each letter was a lengthy process. The characters who made the cut are primarily from the Original Trilogy (no Prequel characters here!), with a few from the Expanded Universe of books, comics, and video games. We also tried to keep the illustrations as non-violent as possible (in the words of Wuher, &#8220;No blasters!&#8221;) for maximum kid-friendliness.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/sf\">sf<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/art\">art<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/movies\">movies<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/kid-stuff\">kid-stuff<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babynamesgarden.com\/freakonomicspredictions.aspx\">Freakonomics authors | Levitt | Dubner | baby names predictions 2015<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;The table below shows the 22 boys&#8217; names and 24 girls&#8217; names which the authors of the book &#8220;Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side of Everything,&#8221;  Steven D.
