You’ve already seen a dozen parodies of Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO and Everyday I’m Shuffling? That can’t be helped. It’s still worthwhile point out the heroic efforts of these humble Stomtroopers in bringing the classic hit back to life.
Your PAX East coverage #paxeast
This blogger wasn’t at PAX East. Sniff. The good news is that a legion of social media adepts covered the event through their Twitter, Google, Flickr, YouTube and other platforms. We can use all that rich media sharing to compile a visual summary of the convention. The geeks who couldn’t make it can still sample […]
Beery Method’s alternative Star Wars art
Beery Method is a graphic, branding and marketing company based in Seattle. It sounds pretty cool – trying to bring an authentic and visual voice. I can’t divine the reason why they have alternative Star Wars art in their public gallery but I’m happy that they do. The following pictures have a similar style but […]
Clinton Felker’s samurai Star Wars
Clinton Felker’s awesome samurai Boba Fett has been doing the rounds on the blogs again. I can see why – it’s an incredible drawing. It’s well worth checking out his blog as there’s a whole collection. I think the Stormtrooper archer is my favourite. What about you?
Sexy Star Wars cosplay?
There’s no shortage of Star Wars heavy Tumblrs on the web and certainly no shortage of Star Wars inspired photographs. However, Fashionably Geek recently posted a picture of a sexy Star Wars cosplay – with the catch that the model was dressed up as an Twi’lek (the ones with the brain tentacles) – which started […]

How to create an original Stormtrooper helmet
In July Geek Native covered Andrew Ainsworth’s victory over Lucasfilm in the Stormtrooper Wars. The battle was over use of the famous Stormtrooper armour – created years ago. If the courts decided they were works of art the Lucasfilm could still protect their image and use. Lucasfilm lost. The famous Stormtrooper helmet is not a […]
Zombie Stormtroopers: Death Troopers concept art
Star Wars: Death Troopers is a 2009 novel by Joe Schreiber. The plot follows the drama when Purge – an Imperial prison barge – breaks down in a remote part of space. It holds 500 dangerous killers, rebels and thiefs and hope may be in the form of the apparently abandoned Star Destroyer they find […]
Stormtroopers now legal: Courts defeat Lucas
Back in the day Andrew Ainsworth was the prop designer who made the original Stormtrooper outfits. This did not make him a rich man. He got £20 per helmet and £385 per suit of armour. In 2009 Ainsworth was confronted by a lawsuit from Lucasfilm– who are very good with their Jedi lawyers – who […]
Stormbikers
This is an odd picture for a Hungarian biker blog to be posting. Okay, yes, it does include what appears to be a bike. It’s the driver and passenger that catch my attention though. There’s something familiar about them. I’ve seen them somewhere before. Not sure what’s on the back of the passenger either. A […]
