Star Wars Paintbrush and Windows 3.1

December 26, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are some golden oldies in the official Disney Star Wars store but nothing quite as old as the work from Robert and James Dastoli. In the 90s the brothers used Microsoft Paintbrush on Windows 3.1 to create a host of Star Wars fan art. Now on their Tumblr, Star Wars Paintbrush, they’re posting this […]

Magic up candy, Star Wars and robots all in the same bite!

December 22, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

When we last checked in with Kimberly Chapman of Eat the Evidence we talked about half-orc barbarian rages and mystery cakes. It’s Christmas. We’re going to get a lot of Star Wars in the next 12 months. Is this really the time for half-orc barbarian ages? Perhaps! It’s also the time for 3D cookies shaped […]

Christmas Lights Star Wars style

December 18, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This video is good for the outset. You know what you’re going to get; the new habit of decking your house outs in enough lights to land a plane and carefully timed effects to music. I think there’s a surprise at around 1:30m which makes it even better. Tom BetGeorge’s video has had over 1 […]

Hasbro and Diamond design Star Wars cover with action figures

December 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Star Wars #1 PREVIEWS exclusive limited variant edition will be an interesting one. I think the clue is in the name! This will be a Toy Fair edition and limited to just 10,000 copies. Diamond and Hasbro have used Star Wars Black action figures to create a tableau with Darth Vader in audience with […]

The Force Awakens trailer: Spaceballs Version!

December 1, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Let’s just mashup Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens with Spaceballs and see what we get. This is the work of Film Geekery. Their official site hasn’t had an update in a while but clearly there’s life there yet. Do you think we’re going to see very many more The Force Awakens jokes […]

Which is your favourite funny response to The Force Awakens trailer?

November 29, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you have a favourite meme response to Disney’s The Force Awakens trailer? I like the lightsaber memes… but I like the lightsaber. I don’t see what’s wrong with the handle. Do you?

Official Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer hits YouTube

November 28, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Seen everyone raving about Star Wars: The Force Awakens while many bemoan that it’s only on QuickTime? Not great news for Apple. The official trailer, not one of the clever fakes, is now on YouTube via the Star Wars account. What do you make of the teaser? Has it done enough? Are you an old […]

Actual alternative: A review of The Star Wars

November 18, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Star Wars is already an award winning comic; picking up the Diamond Gem Award for Best Licensed Comic in 2013. This graphic novel came out this winter and feels like an ideal gift for any Star Wars fans. You can imagine that Star Wars (A New Hope) had a script that was worked on […]

Slick, anime-esq, Star Wars portraits

November 17, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Really like the stylish twist Rob Duenas has brought to these Star Wars portraits. His Deviant Art page has gone straight onto my watch list. Fans should check his Tumblr too, SketchCraft, as it’s an easy to stay up to date with all his creations. What do you make of the Leia, though? Same treatment […]

Budgie spends hours doing perfect R2-D2 sounds

November 11, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Cute? Bluey the budgie’s owners now regret playing a couple of Star Wars YouTube clips to the bird. Not only does he spend hours making perfect R2-D2 sounds and driving his owners crazy – he’s taught the other two budgies in his cage how to do it too. Did you watch to the end of […]
