LEGO continues to bring their Star Wars game with some creative new sets. We just saw a Luke and Yoda on Dagobah playset, and now we have a tiny version of the Death Star trench run scene.

The Book of Ice Cream: Chapter 1

The Book of Ice Cream: Chapter 1

Auralnauts works their sonic magic on The Book of Boba Fett, retelling the story of the professional bounty hunter and amateur crime lord as a lifelong quest for ice cream. Frankly, we’d take a Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake or Toasted Almond bar over a bucket of spice any day.

The Book of Boba Fett: 1985 Edition

The Book of Boba Fett: 1985 Edition

“He doesn’t take no for an answer, unless he’s asked to. And then he does…” The Book of Boba Fett gets reimagined as a cheesy 1985 TV action series by the mad minds of Auralnauts. Released just two years after Return of the Jedi, this version also fits better into the overall timeline.

Jake the Jedi

Jake the Jedi

Every Star Wars fan has heard of Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Mace Windu. But Goat-on-a-Stick introduced us to one Jedi we’ve not come across before. His name is Jake.

If there’s one thing we know about Imperial Stormtroopers in Star Wars, it’s that they’re not very good at their jobs.
