Jenna Fischer’s first blog of 2011
UPDATE: more details on the spoiler page from Melora Hardin…
In Jenna Fischer’s latest MySpace blog, she chats about some of her favorite moments of the episode ‘Classy Christmas’ and then reveals this intriguing tidbit:
The episode we are about to shoot (episode 17) is INCREDIBLE. It involves a storyline from the past. Longtime fans of the show will totally geek out. It was one of our best table reads and it’s written by BJ Novak.
Which past storyline do you think it is? Let the speculation begin!

Michael: Nope, you cannot use it.
Dwight: Okay, I take it back. It’s a workspace.

Dwight: Thank you.
The Office Strikes Back
I love it when artists go all epic in their love for The Office.
Take the case of Jason Sly, who created his masterpiece based on the Star Wars poster for The Empire Strikes Back. What’s particularly interesting is that he details the whole process, from initial concept to final version, in his blog. Go check it out! (His blog also has the full-sized version of the illustration.)
Jason tells OfficeTally:
“I don’t know what prompted it exactly, but one night in 2008 either after watching an episode of the show or seeing the poster for “The Empire Strikes Back,” I had a flash of an Office-Star Wars mashup poster. Jim and Pam replacing Han and Leia and Dwight looking villainous in the background instead of Vader, it seemed so perfect! Toyed around with the composition and who all to include for awhile… with a year long hiatus from working on it in the middle… and finally we have the finished poster.”
