Created in about 10 hours by Kodykoala. This model was inspired by a Warbucks t-shirt design, made from a cheap R2D2 Valentine’s Day sweet dispenser and a McDonald’s Happy Meal Minion toy. Like it? You can buy it from Etsy or check out Kody’s other creations.
Meet the 150 pound white chocolate R2-D2
That’s a lot of chocolate! This R2-D2 was created from white chocolate by Pastry Chef Fernando Arreola at the hotel Fairmont San Jose. The Chef was inspired by the Star Wars Exposition at the Tech Museum across the street. We should send chefs to Star Wars expositions more often, I say. Via Geeks Are Sexy.
Artoo bodycon dress for those with humble Jedi budgets
Geek blogs feature Black Milk designs all the time. They’re sexy, geeky and desirable. The catch? They’re not cheap. What if you wanted a Star Wars styled dress that was much kinder to your purse? Step up Attitude Clothing with this “Artoo Bodycon” design. It certainly manages to remind me of a certain Star Wars […]
Star Wars: Jabba the Hutt nesting dolls

From top to bottom we’ve abba the Hutt, Boba Fett, Gamorrean Guard, Bib Fortuna, Max Rebo, EV-9D9, and Salacious B. Crumb for the villains and for the good […]
Steampunk meets Star Wars cosplay: Slave Leia, R2-D2 and Boba Fett
We should make plenty of time for Star Wars Steampunk mashups. I love the R2. That must have taken a while. I suspect turning the Slave Leia costume into a steampunk version took some thinking – not much to work with – but the goggles are a great idea. Via Geek Girl Diva at Fashionably […]
Glass R2D2 sculpture
How’s this for art meets geek? Team Death Star found this glass R2D2 sculpture. I suspect the Jawas would pass this creation straight by but that would be a shame. The photograph shows all the fine work and joins in the droid; it isn’t just the general shape of Rtoo that’s been created. I can […]
Squeeze into a R2-D2 corset

The top and bottom binding are done in leather. There’s a standalone site for Pendragon Costumes too which includes a […]
Sir R2D2, Gentleman explorer
This is a quirky t-shirt from Superhero Stuff. Yes, this does seem to be R2D2 wearing a tiny top hat, monocle and sporting quite a tash. I like to think of this R2 as being a bit of a gentleman explorer, bravely and politely, trekking across deserts in search of ancient treasures and mysteries.
Cosplay made DragonCon 2012 level 2 of awesome
Once cosplay might have been considered lame or even weird. Okay, maybe it still is – but only by those fools who’ve yet to succumb to the geek way. I look at this awesome video by Micah Moore and my jaw hits the keyboard. I don’t have the blog-skills, the wordsmithing ability, enough command of […]
The faces of famous robots
This charming poster was created by the designer Daniel Nyari Nyari was born in Roania, grew up in Austria and now lives in New York. In addition to his art talent he clearly has good taste in sci-fi too.
