Ah yes, another Monday, another fantastic day filled with Star Wars goodness. Someone better call Lando. No, It’s not a party so don’t go grabbing case after case of Colt 45 malt liquor just yet. I just thought Lando would be interested in these $200 figurines. They’re a fusion of Disney and Star Wars characters. You’ve got Mickey Mouse as Luke, Minnie Mouse as Queen Amidala, Donald Duck as Darth Maul and Goofy as a confused Jar Jar Binks.

Where’s Darth Vader? He could have easily been modeled after Pete, Mickey’s arch-rival. Geez, I’m the only one who cares and this is going to put a damper on my whole week. Thanks a lot Disney.

Here’s some good news for those who live in Canada: you no longer have to settle for playing your Xbox 360 games on that 20 inch TV of yours. Well, you don’t have to settle for it if you’ve got the cash and the friends willing to accompany you as you rent out a movie theater. Playing the upcoming Fallout 3 on the big screen would be more enjoyable than any computer animated Star Wars sacrilege or Will Farrell comedy.

As of last Friday, Cineplex Entertainment of Canada started renting out screen time for solely playing Xbox 360. Wait, what about the PS3 or Wii? Oh right…no one plays those systems. For just $179 dollars and tax you’ll gain access to an entire theater for you and 11 friends for a two hour session. Just in case you left your copy of Bioshock at home, they’ll also provide you with access to their own library of games. The theaters rent time is mostly scheduled for the morning, which brings anywhere from 12 to 24 hours of downtime to the theater. But they don’t mind, they’re making more dough doing this than they ever did in the movie business. Welcome to the new-age of arcades, I can’t wait to see the subliminal advertising.

I’m all about Spock. Which is the main reason why I was attracted to these LEGO mosaics. They come in many different flavors including Star Wars, Mad magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman and even Adam West as Batman. Etsy member Motion5 sells these works of art for prices ranging from $50 to $400.

He also takes high resolution shots of his work that any idiot with half a brain could duplicate. Don’t get me wrong, the art is impressive but these screenshots are so detailed that I have the schematics for the art right in front of me. Hell, I could probably make one in Bricksmith.

It wouldn’t be Monday without the obligatory Star Wars post. This Star Wars themed wedding posted on Flickr has all the guests dressed in their favorite Star Wars characters. The groom as Admiral Ackbar is for some strange reason or another settling for some Corellian chick. Where are all the Mon Calamari women?

Complete with an At-At Walker based cake, this wedding had nearly everything. Holy moly, even Lobot made an appearence:

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. More pictures and the link to their site after the jump:

There are few things we love more in this world than Star Wars. But, if we were forced to choose one, it’d have to be baked sweets. So, instead of finding something greater than Star Wars, why not get the best of both worlds? Star Wars-themed baked sweets, such as these highly-detailed Yoda and Millennium Falcon cakes, are about as delicious looking as baked goods can get.

With the wisdom of Yoda and the speed of the Millennium Falcon, don’t count on out running any imperial star cruisers. No, not until you’ve had your cake and ate it too - forget it. What a shit joke.

Too negligent to monitor a server system? Well, if you’re a huge Star Wars geek like these Japanese fellows, then you can build your own R2-D2 server monitor out of a $3,000 dollar R2-D2 projector.  The R2-D2 alerts workers whenever a server goes offline and can even project server status on a wall or ceiling.

Sooner or later, someone will build the C-3PO server monitor assistant to make smart-ass remarks on work etiquette and tasks. Though R2-D2 would be more useful in a work environment, you can’t have one Star Wars bot without it’s counter-part.

The Star Wars franchise pushes on. Geeks looking to plunk down $11 on some Skywalker-themed gear should look no further than these gnarly key covers. Featuring intricate detailing and beautiful coloring, the Boba Fett or Clone Trooper key cover will not only keep your key safe, it’ll also help with your cred come the next ‘Wars convention.

Insert random joke about Lando Calrissian here.

If you’re to take a trip over to Joshua Budich’s website, you might be confused by what you find. At first glance it appears as nothing more than a showcase for a gallery of somewhat lame Star Wars-themed pixel art. But as you click further with your mouse, you discover a hidden secret.

The pixel art is just the begining. Budich goes on to document a wide array of Star Wars action figures. I’m not sure if the catalog is a complete Star Wars toy encyclopedia, but the contents are pretty fun to browse through, especially accompanied by the little pixel people (and droids). — Andrew Dobrow

SpikeTV is advertising their presentation of Star Wars in the sexiest way possible. By featuring lightsaber glow-stick lights on a specially designed bus stop ad, of course. Sexiest way possible? I think so.

The Dark Side is strong, my son. But using the power of The Force and your bus toll, you too can be a Jedi. Or at least in the presence of a cleverly launched corporate ad campaign. (more…)
