Most of the home theaters we’ve seen offer little more than a large picture and crisp, quality sound. However, it is Monday and as such, an obligatory Star Wars post was bound to show up. Today, we acknowledge Steve Simon’s love for Star Wars and the dedication he (and a few friends) put into this Star Wars-themed home theater system.

It took them about a year and a half to turn Steve’s garage into Chancellor Palpatine’s office, complete with computer-generated imaging that makes it seem like you’re overlooking the Galactic City. It’s just like the movies! Sure, it’s got a 1080p DLP projector and B&W speakers just like many other expensive home theater systems, but it also has a style that would make even Mr. Lucas jealous.

And by Galactic, I mean Spore: Galactic Edition of course. If you’re a gamer who needs every piece of memorabilia a game has to offer then you won’t mind shelling out $80 for this special edition. Remember Vince’s monstrous pal, Bonerfart? He died. But, that’s only because Vince didn’t reserve his copy of Galactic Edition, guaranteeing him the 100-page galactic handbook which would’ve told him his creature was a vegetarian. The pack includes:

• ‘Making of Spore’ DVD video
• ‘The Human Toolkit’ DVD video, by National Geographic
• ‘The Art of Spore’ hardback mini-book
• Fold-out Spore poster
• Premium 100-page Galactic Handbook

Remember, if you don’t want your monster to suffer the same fate as Bonerfart’s, you’ll wise up and secure your galactic handbook today or the civilization you’ve created in Spore could become extinct quicker than you expected.
