Saving the planet and Star Wars. What more could a geek want? Other than a Lucy Liu sex-bot, of course. The Jedi were always the ones that came off as the treehugger type. Darth and the rest of the dark side didn’t have much consideration for natural beauty. Perhaps never more evident than when he blows up Princess Leia’s beautiful home planet of Alderaan just because he felt like it.

When will the Galactic Empire learn that nature will always survive, no matter how many Death Stars you build. Are you green Jedi and proud of it? These Green Star Wars Tees from Zazzle are surely right up your alley if you’ve ever been a fan of the Star Wars universe. Admiral Ackbar would be proud.

Torture dogs much? Then you’ll get a kick out of this Darth Vader costume for your canine companion. Despite this dog resembling the likeness of Darth Sidius rather than his apprentice, we approve of dogs dressed up in Star Wars-themed costumes. We only wish there were even more sci-fi costumes available for our pets. Hit the jump to see what I mean.

From the Atari Flashback Portable to the portable SNES, it seems almost every system has been turned into a handheld at this point. Over at the Ben Heck forums, user Hailrazer posted an impressive DIY project of his. Using an old Lazer Doodle he found at a flea market, he modded it into an impressive portable Nintendo 64 dubbed Darth 64.

I’ve always wanted to play Blast Corps while traveling on the road.  After seeing this custom handheld, I can’t help but think: what would be my favorite system to go handheld?  Well, duh, the PS3.  Hey, one can dream, can’t he?

In a world of good-guy smugglers and noble Jedi, one Sith must instill fear any way he can. That’s why Darth Vader built this hot air balloon. Not just because the town fare is approaching and Vader wanted to make sure he’ll be soaring high next to the Yogi bear and Batman inflatables but because Vader wishes to scare away would-be padawan learners with his hot air balloon visage.  Be careful: one collision with a Star Destroyer and it’s all over.

A sign for screen printing was posted in the “Hackerspace Village” when we arrived Saturday. As we stood there watching them make imprints in shirts, they asked us for help (hackers are so friendly!) and well, this helped us get a closer look into how they were making these sweet Darth Vader designs on t-shirts.

The Hacktory was showing off its way of promoting the use of technology in arts. The team there was using discharge glue, which acts like a bleach towards color pigments, forming some cool designs in their name after it’s set to dry. Two of which included Star Wars inspired designs: Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper. $5 t-shirts, free if you brought your own blank one means it was the best t-shirt offer at the Last HOPE Conference.
