The Sarlacc’s Great Pit of Carkoon looks like it was recreated using an educational female anatomy model, but other than that this recreated scene from the Return of the Jedi looks just about right. I’d love to see the entire movie series recreated this way. That would just make my year. Link

No, R2-D2 didn’t get stuck outside overnight on the planet Hoth. This snow droid was hand crafted by one clever winter-y geek. And lord knows this winter has already spilled a crap load of snowy art material in my neck of the woods. Maybe the next snowstorm we can see a Snow Vader? Link

Cuddly isn’t exactly a word I would usually use to describe Darth Vader. Sure, he had strong arms and broad shoulders, but that’s beyond the point. He’s just not the cuddling type. Now Chewy on the other hand. He could be my cuddle partner any night. That’s right, I like my Wookies just like I prefer my women; rough and ...

Some taxidermists can really go over the top with their mounted pieces. And a few, I believe are certifiably insane. “WTF Taxidermy” is a LiveJournal community dedicated to the most bizarre of bizarre taxidermy. Included are such classics as the Flying Jackalope, the R2-D2 Rats and really, just a whole crap load of oddities. The best part is that most ...

Being crafty is often mislabeled as a purely feminine characteristic. If that’s the case, you might as well dress me up in my best Sunday dress and strap a pair of heels on my feet because I love me some papercraft action. Your favorite neurotic droid has just landed on your project table with this intricate papercraft kit, allowing you ...

R2DJ, RJD2, R2D2 – whatever your poison, you gotta respect the original droid. This boombox is crafted to look like R2D2, except there’s no midget inside controlling it. Unfortunately, it’s a non-working model, effectively shattering your dreams of a Death Star breakdance competition. Link

Thanks to Nissan’s Biomimetic Robot Car (BR23C), crash test dummies could find themselves out of a job. Having been compared to R2-D2 (but bearing no resemblance whatsoever), the BR23C will not maintain your car like a mechanic would, rather, it will play the part of backseat driver. The robot is the “poster-bot” for Nissan’s new crash prevention technology. Drawing upon ...

Texas Instruments has announced it’s making the tiniest projector ever created commercially available. Dubbed the Optoma Pico, the projector will be available next year with an insanely small DLP chip inside. While it’d be great to see the projector built into your cellphone, Optoma Pico will disappointingly remain a stand-alone mini projector. The product should be making its way to ...

I must admit, I barely used my PowerMac G3 when I had it. If only I had gutted it and used it as a nifty mailbox for my cottage in Maine like this guy did. Doesn’t look too practical though, despite the easy-access case. It’s not R2-D2, but every fanboy can dream. Link (via)
