While it took several months to obtain the rarer minifigs he needed to create the LEGO Star Wars Space Invaders plaque that now hangs on his wall, Chris McVeigh aka Powerpig finally finished his awesome mash-up creation. Mixing retro gaming with classic sci-fi action, the Star Wars Space Invaders combo smooshes together everything I love about being a geek. I ...

My mom rarely got creative when she made my lunch. I think once or twice she pulled off a crustless star (which sort of sucked, because I fucking loved the crust), but about 99.99% of the time, my sandwiches were limited to the diagonal or vertical cut. Either way, it still tasted the same. Now that I’ve got another woman ...

First there was Shaft. Then there was Huggy Bear and Mr. T. And in some parallel fictional universe, Lando Calrissian finally gets a piece of the spotlight, after decades of playing second fiddle to Han Solo’s scrounging ways. Blackstar Warrior is the story of Lando Calrissian and his ascent from smuggler to gas mining entrepreneur and eventually a general. The ...

The language of the Wookiee is one filled with mysteries. I’m not quite sure where Han Solo found the time to learn the ins-and-outs of the finer linguistics of Chewbacca’s native tongue, but he found a way. I’d personally love to learn the language, but I can’t even generate even the most simple of guttural Wookiee sounds, even with proper ...

This Rebel fighter is one bad-ass. You’ve gotta be bad to ...

I guess if you’re not gifted with a feel for The Force like I am, you have to rely on other methods of balancing your spiritual and physical prowess. It’s totally understandable. Not everybody can be a student of the Jedi ways. But it’s still important to keep on your toes. You just never know when your planet might be ...

The line between fanfic and official Star Wars canon becomes blurred with every passing day, but purists know how to separate the fiction from slightly-truer fiction. The truth is that in some way or form, every character that appeared on screen for more than a millisecond (and even some among those) have developed complete backstories thanks to the vast expanse ...

Some people prefer to pour a whole box of cereal into one massive bowl. Others like to eat it in human-sized quantities. But you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten cereal using the will of the Force. If you only knew the power of the sugar-coated side. These mini-boxes of cereal will be given to attendees of the Celebration V Collectors ...

We’ve had several posts about dogs wearing Star Wars costumes, but never have we had the chance to actually buy disguises for man’s best friend ourselves. ThinkGeek has just added a set of Star Wars costumes, custom made for your furry companion. Some might say it’s cruel and unusual to dress your doggy up as Yoda, Princess Leia or Darth ...
