What’s not to like about Super7’s “lost” Star Wars ad from the 70s. Don’t you remember this Super Shogun Stormtrooper appearing in the original Star Wars? That’s because it’s a limited edition. The advert has worked because I’ve now heard of Super7. I hadn’t before. I’ve tried clicking on their “About us” (using Google Chrome) […]
Star Wars Lego Chess
Brandon Griffith has made a name for himself with some fantastic chess sets. They’re lego chess sets. They’re Star Wars lego chess sits. He’s put together an Empire Strikes Back Chess Set and a New Hope Chess Set. They’re both detailed on Flickr and well worth checking out. Two samples of the Star Wars Lego […]
My Best Friend is a Wookiee
Do you use Wookiee or Wookie? At first, I thought the title “My Best Friend is a Wookiee” was an attempt to avoid a lawsuit and help Tony Pacitti write about his Star Wars fandom without the darkside of Lucas Films getting involved. Then I noticed that Wikipedia also uses the double-e spelling: Wookiee, so perhaps […]
Midichlorian Rhapsody
Can’t get enough of the sci-fi musicals we’ve been treating ourselves too? No? Good! Yes? Too bad! Stepping up to the microphone next are those tiny little creatures that many Star Wars fans like to pretend were never mentioned. That’s right: the midichlorians. They’ve been joined on the karaoke by the legendary Queen who has […]
Chillin’ Chewbacca
The danger of beating a wookie at chess is that it might rip your arm off. Everyone knows this. Really, though, is this fair on the wookies? Maybe they’re just big fuzz balls that like to relax at home. I suspect this may be the case. I’ve photographic evidence.
Sillof’s Marvel steampunk heroes
Sillof’s getting pretty famous. We’ve enjoyed Sillof’s Star Wars and his samurai figures. Now we’ve got his take of Marvel heroes – a steampunk take. Man of Iron Thor Dr. Banner / Mr Hulk The Vision Daredevil The Punisher Captain America
The Dark Side of That’s No Moon
Here’s a great mashup. This has enough geek credit for Pink Floyd and Star Wars combined. Wait a minute. This is Pink Floyd and Star Wars combined! Taking the famous “That’s no moon” quote together with the Dark Side of the Moon album cover and… well. See for yourself!
Homer Simpson as Darth Vader
I think Star Wars would have been a slightly different movie had Homer Simpson given the voice to Darth Vader. We can only imagine how that would have worked out. Or can we? As it happens you can start with this video clip with Darth’s voice removed and then sub over our own voice effects. […]
Backstar Warrior trailer rediscovered: Star Wars spin off
Okay, okay… so this video is pretending to be a rediscovered trailer for “Blackstar Warrior” the Star Wars spin off that never was. Thankfully. I’m pretty sure it would have had a Jar Jar Binks impact on my appreciation on the films had this actually happened. Then again; maybe I’m wrong. What do you think!
Brian Blessed thanks fans for TomTom victory
Yes, towards the end of this YouTube clip Mr Blessed does shout out “Gordon’s alive!?” You see; although Brian’s done so much I’ll always remember him first and foremost as Prince Vultan in the 1980 Flash Gorden movie. He’s also been in Doctor Who, Blackadder, The Avengers, Blake’s 7, Space: 1999, Robin Hood, Star Wars […]
