[I know where to put this] If you share a home with boys – of pretty much any age – then you might well wish to impart this helpful lesson from Star Wars. Aiming is everything. Be more Jedi and rather less Stormtrooper. If you’re getting fed up of bad aim and having to clean […]
The 501st Legion: Stormtroopers versus Aliens
Stormtroopers versus Aliens might sound a bit cheesy. Wouldn’t the Stormtroopers be unable to land a shot on any of the swift xenomorphs and get wiped out in seconds? I’m sure some geeks will argue that but the effectiveness of a Stormtroopers is underplayed. Anyone who’s watched the Clone Wars animated series will have a […]
Star Wars: New Order Stormtrooper helmets inspired by African wildlife
The title to this post says “Stormtrooper helmets inspired by African wildlife” and as odd as it sounds this is no weird typo. Designer Blank William’s The New Order is a set of creative designs, in white and black, which actually manage to mashup animal skulls with classic helmet designs.
Short film: Rebel Scum
A Star Wars fan made film set on Hoth. We’re not talking Disney special effects with this one but what the Nguyen brothers achieve with stop-motion and the -30°C location on the Columbia icefield is impressive. A rebel snowspeeder is shot down and survives the crash. What next? He’s stuck on Hoth with hunter killer […]
Who supports the clone army?
Mention the phrase “Clone Army” to a geek and they may well think Star Wars. The army that become the infamous Stormtroopers started off as a huge batch of clones. We now know that by The Force Awakens the remains of the Empire are “recruiting” their Stormtroopers through other means too. Star Wars isn’t the […]
That time Darth Vader started a guitar band
It’s the famous Star Wars opening theme with a rock twist. The band even have a Facebook page at @Galatic Empire Official with nearly 45,000 followers, some extra photos and posts to catch up on. Would you put Boba Fett on the drums? Makes more sense than asking the Stormtrooper to do it, I suppose… […]
Star Wars: All the Troopers
Febrian Anugrah, aka Goodmorningnight, is an Indonesian graphic designer (and part time Pokemon tranier, he says) who specialises in posters and infographics. His talents really show in Troopers series which looks at Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers from Star Wars universe and the now expired extended universe. I dare say after The Force Awakens we might […]
20 best mashup costumes at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con
There are hundreds, if not thousands of costumes at the San Diego Comic Con, so standing out can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. While some folks go for incredible quality and detail, others recognize that a little creativity goes a long way when it comes to getting noticed and mashing together two different […]
Experience life as a Jedi through a GoPro
You’ll have seen a host of GoPro videos now. There are sleek ones in which gorgeous bikini divers swim with sharks or real-life classics such as seagulls stealing the camera and flying off. Have you seen a geeky one yet? It looks like the Jedi has the GoPro mounted to his chest via a harness. […]

When did you first encounter a stormtrooper? For me it was watching A New Hope, the first Star Wars film and episode IV. Other people – younger folk – might first have seen a stormtrooper on TV as part of the Clone Wars cartoon or perhaps even with one of the prequel movies. It’s only […]
