Awesome Star Wars

Frank Carson and his wife Honey are horribly unpleasant people with an awful relationship. They also look a whole lot like Han Solo and Princess Leia. Original audio source here.

A couple of Yaskawa Motoman robots dueling with toy lightsabers at an international conference in Shanghai, to an astonishingly apathetic crowd. Maybe some sound effects would have helped.

If you don’t have time to sit through 7 hours of Star Wars movies, here’s Episodes I through III told in LEGO form, in record time. As an added bonus, you don’t have to listen to Jar Jar Binks at all.

Cartoonist Dan Hipp created a these Adventures of Tintin-inspired book covers as tributes to classic science fiction films lie Star Wars, Alien and Tron. We only wish these books were real.

The fine folks over at Paste Magazine have rounded up a gallery of sweet and geeky old school posters propagating the Galactic Civil War from both sides of the fight. Thumbs up. (Thanks Levi!)

Ok, the official name of Malc Foy’s t-shirt is I Put a Droid in your Droid, but we like our name better. Apparently he got the idea from Pimp My Ride. Hmm, Pimp My Droid. That’s a good name too.

Star Wars characters quote line after depressing line from existentialist (and proto-Emo) Jean-Paul Sartre in an unlikely yet hilarious mashup, augmented with French gibberish.

Back in the day, product designer Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer and his co-workers had the opportunity to pitch over 100 Star Wars collectible concepts for Pepsi. We think they should have ALL been made.

Grab these iPhone skins before Apple or Lucas’ lawyers issue a cease-and-desist order. For now, head over to society6 where Greg Koenig also has print, t-shirt and laptop versions of frozen Jobsie.

A long, long time ago, in an alternate reality far, far away, this is what the Star Trek logo looks like. Will surely make a lot of people do a double take, even if they’re not avid Trekkies or Star Wars fans.

We’re betting her parents put her up to this, but little Sariah Gallego was on stage being asked to fight Darth Vader at Disney’s Jedi Academy, she decided to come over to the Dark Side instead.

You can get Han as a figurine, as a desk and as a soap. Now you can roll like a Hutt mob lord and eat Han Solo with this silicon tray. Carbonite is scarce though, so you’ll have to settle for ice or jelly.

Star Wars action figure specialist Sillof teamed up with fellow customizer Glorbes to create these World War II-themed toys. C-3PO looks awesome, but we like Capt. Hank Solowski the most.

We always wondered if the Predators and Ewoks ever ran into each other in the forest. Looks like they really got to know each other. They’re not so cute anymore, are they? (Thanks, Sebastian!)

And thus it is proven that a little After Effects lightsaber magic turns even the most mundane things into something exciting… though we are suprised the plasma blades don’t melt the birdie.

Han Solo said, “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” Ian Leino says the same thing in a tee, replete with 26 different TV and movie weapons.

During the filming of Paul, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost took time out to work on a side project – a remake of Star Wars. They only got through one scene, but we’d like to see the whole movie.

The next release of the Adidas x Star Wars Collection is a ZX 8000 runner/Emperor Palpatine combo. The suede and mesh shoe features a Force lightning graphic and a glow in the dark outsole.

This hilarious spoof by features a more familiar – and thus less adorable – Darth Vader, one he’s finally embraced the Dark Side. Unfortunately for him, he messed with the wrong brand of car.

We like this ceramic Death Star cookie jar simply as sculpture in the kitchen – but we’d be stoked if it was filled with something delicious inside (like sugary, bite-sized Stormtroopers). (Thanks Jon!)

These are the rockers that you were looking for. Junk Food Clothing seem to have rummaged through their art and textiles for the oldest ones they could find to make this vintage-styled shirt.

Graphic design student Luca Lago Batmanized several Star Wars characters. His conversion process was pretty simple: give a character bat ears and add “bat” to its name. It’s super-effective!

Back to the Future or Star Wars? It’s the battle of the (20th) Century in the logo mashup on the My Trilogy Kicks Your Trilogy’s Ass t-shirt. BTTF fans should splurge and grab the “Jigga What?” tee too.
