A few weeks back, stalwart defender of America Stephen Colbert challenged his loyal viewers to customize video footage of him battling unseen ne'er-do-wells with a lightsaber against greenscreen. The response was a tidal wave of user-generated videos that pitted Colbert against enemies ranging from super battle droids, rancors and three-headed Democrats. Now, the challenge (which wasn't a contest) is coming to a close, and the winner (though it wasn't a contest) is about the crowned (though, by no means was this a contest).
Tune into Wednesday's installment of "The Colbert Report" at 11:30 p.m. on Comedy Central (check local listings) to see the results of the Star Wars-inspired challenge that has attracted national attention.
And that's the word.
