Does the shutdown of Google Reader make you feel like it has become just another Evil Empire (DeathStar+)? Then plug a feed address into StarRSS, and enjoy your favorite information sources displayed Star Wars style. (thank you, Laughing Squid)
Warning: Really loud audio when you enter a feed.

Wow I was confused for a second. They really should have picked a name more different from STARSS, which displays your feeds Star Trek style.

That's why they named it StaRRSS, audiblenon, besides everybody gets the two mixed up these days, what with "jedi mind melds" and JJ Abrams doing both movies...

To get a little meta…
If you want to get really meta, create a blog where each blog post is titled with, in reverse sequence, each line from the opening text roll in Star Wars. Then push your RSS feed into this tool. MAGIC!

This came quickly after starlogs.net which did the same for your Git repository logs.
