This blog would be worse off without great ads from Japan. Starting with a Japanese ad is a good start, adding in sexy tech like the Samsung Galaxy S makes the post sound even more promising and when we can throw in some Darth Vader Star Wars. What do you think? I think I’d probably […]
How to build your own Jedi training device
Everyone remembers the floating training device Luke first practised on. I’d wager quite a few people wondered what it would like to own one. At least one person, Trooper Trent (a Stormtrooper? Oh noes), has made one. Here’s how. The video shows typical geek cunning! What do you think? Fancy trying to make one of […]
Sexy Disney Princesses are Sith Warriors
I know you’ve been waiting for pictures like this for a while. We have Joseph and Deviant Art to thank for these wonderful illustrations. Is it wrong that these pictures are sexy? The Disney innocence juxtaposed with the Sith power and corruption? Or is it simply the tight clothes?
Beethoven Vader
Richard Grayson is cool. He’s a pianist who gets tossed a curve ball while asking the Crossroads School for tunes to play. That’s right. Someone suggests he plays Darth Vader’s theme for Star Wars. Not only does Grayson step up to mark he produces a Vader theme deep with feeling. Gosh, well, it’s so emmo […]
Star Wars ad for Currys and PC World: R2-D2 and original C-3PO
If, like this geek, you watch British TV then you may have seen the new Currys and PC World ad that features the always cute R2-D2 and C-3PO. If C-3PO sounds an awful lot like the “original” C-3PO then that’s because it is. It’s Anthony Daniels doing the voice. The ad features a website called […]
Vader Time
Sometimes Geek Native will dive into the archive of golden oldie geek goodies. This is one such post. At the time of writing this Darth Vader and Stormtroopers clip has had 1.9m views. The 2 million mark is in sight. It was uploaded in July 2009. I think that counts as a classic. What do […]
Song: Twin Suns of Tatooine
It’s been too long since we’ve seen a good Star Wars stop motion. Step forward the Twin Suns of Tatooine as a funky stop motion video for a soothing Star Wars song. Everything I know I’ve learnt from the Twin Suns of Tatooine. Our songsmith is Jeremy Messersmith who should now sit back and enjoy […]
Star Wars figures: Charred Uncle Owen
We all know what happened to Uncle Owen in Star Wars. Aunt Beru met the same toasty fate. So, does that mean that was the end of their role in the Star Wars franchise? Of course not. Both Owen Lars and Aunt Beru have unlife as charred remains action figures. A must for every Star […]
Sexy stormtroopers
Both of these photographs come from the tumblr brilliantly called Star Wars and Wine. The author calls herself a “grown-up geek-girl who blends nerdery art, fashion and entertainment”. That works for me! Check out these two unexpected stormtroopers.
Han Solo by MC Chris
I wasn’t sure whether I’d let this video play out after the first few seconds – but I’m glad I did. The talent here is MC Chris. Well, okay, the talent is Harrison Ford as Han Solo and MC Chris has put togther a talented tribute. Give it a play. What do you think? Want […]
