    While we’re on the subject of Star Wars shows...

    Here’s your reminder that Disney’s latest animated anthology series, Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, started streaming today.

    The six-episode miniseries may not quite be enough to tide everyone over until The Acolyte’s June 4th release, though — the longest episode clocks in at just 19 minutes.

    “You’re holding a taco!”

    If you’ve already read our review of the Rabbit R1 but haven’t gotten around to watching the video version of it, what better time than now?

    Autodesk is hosting a Star Wars droid design contest.

    The contest (rules here) runs from May 4th through June 4th. Autodesk provides certain assets like the Star Wars alphabet and symbols, as well as 30 day free trials of Autodesk software.

    Prizes include Autodesk fabricating the winning overall droid and a paid trip for the winning designer (with lodging and a plus one!) to San Francisco to tour Industrial Light and Magic Studios.

    The best iMac, now with M2.

    The limited-edition DockLite G4, from Australian DIY tech company Juicy Crumb, gives the 20-inch iMac G4 an HDMI port. So YouTuber Action Retro decided to combine that with the guts of an M2 Mac Mini to turn his 20-incher into a modern machine.

    Shame that the DockLite G4 doesn’t work with other versions of the prettiest iMac ever made, because a used 20-inch ain’t cheap.

    “Hey man, that’s why we’ve got this network.”

    I had forgotten about the 80s and 90s trope of pulling a headphone speaker away from some hapless, distracted youth’s head to tell them something.

    But the LSU library used it to great effect while promoting the fact that you could ask its weirdly condescending librarians to print up R.E.M. song lyrics using the new-fangled World Wide Web.

    It’s board game night, y’all.

    Our pals over at Polygon put together a short list of newer tabletop games they’re digging so far this year. I think I’m mostly interested in Wyrmspan, where there be dragons.

    But I also wonder how much Star Wars: Unlimited, which also made the cut, resembles that Star Wars card game I played a few times in middle school. Who can tell me?
