OMG! Adorbz of the Day: Remember Katie, the little girl teased by her classmates for being a Star Wars fan? Well, thanks to the Internet she is no longer sad! Since her story was first posted online by her mom, blogger Carrie Goldman, the Katie Saga circulated throughout the web, initiating a Twitter hashtag, launching a Facebook Event, and eventually reaching the upper echelon of Star Wars fandom (read: the official Star Wars Blog), all while copious comments of sympathy and support continued to pour in through EPBOT and Chicago Now.
Among other exciting offers, Katie recently received a personal invitation to attend a Clone Wars premier, extended by none-other-than voice actor Tom Kane, AKA Yoda.
“As far as Katie goes,” Goldman writes on her blog, “she has definitely internalized the message that girls can like Star Wars too! We are reading every single comment, and we plan to print them all into a book for her to cherish as she grows older and navigates the tough teenage years.”
Congrats, Internet. You’ve truly outdone yourself this time.
