The Sandman's True Colors
I haven’t slept properly in over a week. I know I don’t need sleep because I am one of the undead. I am neither a zombie nor a vampire. I am a specter. Most of the living and undead creatures I have met don’t understand why a specter like me would want to sleep.

Either way, for Jedi and Sith alike, today is basically one of the largest pop culture holidays of all time. I can't think of any others so widely celebrated. As padawans and their masters celebrate more than 40 years of the force, it’s important to look back where it all started.

His versatility and talent is as undeniable as his charismatic good looks but there is still more than meets the eye with actor Kellan Lutz – and it's a whole lot nerdier than you may have imagined.
