Tatooine?

Tonight is the debut of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of George Lucas’ Beard. Ahhh — I remember going to see the original Star Wars as a wee tike at the local drive-in movie theater. I was mesmerized as Luke Skywalker stared off into the Tatooine sunset — a sunset with two suns. How cool was that? Well, some scientists had to go ahead and ruin a perfectly good science fiction fantasy by saying that a dual sunset might be a mundane sight in the Universe. Next they’re going to tell us that this is just a moon!
