The $500 Star Wars blueprint collection

July 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sideshow Collectibles have been wowing the geeky game community in recent months with a series of action hero models and figures. The craftsmanship of these mini statues is simply incredible. What would happen if Sideshow Collectibles took their skill and applied it to a book. An illustrated book. A Star Wars book? What we have […]

Join the rebellion: Greenpeace blasts VW in “The Dark Side”

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This an awesome spoof by Greenpeace that rides on the success of The Force Super Bowl that Vokswagen famously tested online first. Greenpeace UK are clearly unhappy that the car maker is not towing the line when it comes to CO2 emissions. As a result the pressure group has put together this geek friendly and […]

Star Wars: R2-D2 Operation game

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Remember playing Operation? It’s one of those games we played as kids. It’s one of those games we mixed alcohol with as adults and found it was twice as fun. It seems Hasbro might be trying to up the game even further. ToyWiz will be doing brisk trade this week after the interwebs noticed they […]

That scene in Star Wars with Nyan cat in it

June 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Nyan cat was in Star Wars, episode IV, but not many people remember it. It’s strange because it’s an important scene and Nyan cat is easy to spot. It’s the scene in which Obi Wan is trying to explain The Force to Luke. R2-D2 is nearby and seems to be watching in. After Nyan cat’s […]

Teenage Mutant Jedi Turtles

June 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Is there something the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could do in order to improve their fighting prowess? Short answer: yes. They could all become Jedi knights. In fact, I’m surprised the comics haven’t taken this turn. I’m pretty sure it would go well with the time travelling. via

Steampunk sub-machine gun

June 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Neil Morrison describes this steampunk styled sub-machine gun as “first ever Steampunk build”. He’s happy with it. I don’t blame him! I really hope this is not his last. There’s a commentary on his blog and a host of images on Flickr. They’re both worth the trip over to study in detail. The pictures below […]

Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark

June 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you heard the urban myth that C-3PO, Princess Leia and R2-D2 appear in Raiders of the Lost Ark? It’s not a myth. They do feature. In fact, there’s a lot connecting the two films beyond the fact that the scene in which Rene Belloq and the Nazis square off against Indiana in the canyon […]

Master Jedi Yoda… is cake

June 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This looks as good as anything Charm City Cakes might do – and that’s a high compliment because that team rocks the cake world. For this cake we have Reddit user TomTom on a Tauntaun to thank as well as the mum who made this for her kid’s 8th birthday. It’s a fantastic idea but, […]

Vader invades Disneyland

June 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a cute viral candidate video for Disney’s new Star Wars themed ride – Star Tours. We see Darth Vader and two Stormtroopers arrive in Disneyland, only to find Star Tours not yet open and so have to distract themselves with the rides for a day. I’m sure if I was a Simpson’s writer […]
