  • Star Wars Death Star Fathead coming in February for $100

    Star Wars Death Star Fathead coming in February for $100

    There you go, right on the living room wall. A big, fat Death Star. I’d personally cut off all the fluff at the bottom there. It’s the Death Star. Not the Death Star, sponsored by Star Wars and a couple Fathead logos. It’s not some stadium with naming rights and all that.

    Video: There’s a lot going on in this Star Wars Adidas commercial

    Star Wars sneakers from Adidas are coming. Fair enough. This new commercial features what looks like a scene from Indiana Jones at the very beginning, then we’ve got a random shot of Snoop Dogg, Darth Vader, and then Daft Punk looking at Darth Vader as if to say, “That guy stole our shiny helmet look.” [...]

    Giftable: Star Wars Republic Squadron motion flight game

  • Family Guy’s “Something Something Something Dark Side” trailer

    Family Guy’s “Something Something Something Dark Side” trailer

    Everyone agrees that the first Family Guy Star Wars parody, Blue Harvest, was TV at its finest, right? It was such a big hit that Fox is going to release the second one on DVD on December 22 before airing it on TV with the hope fans will actually spend money and buy the damn thing. If the trailer is any indication of the episode's awesomeness, some people might actually do just that. Who knows, maybe even me.

    Star Wars Lightsaber laser pointers make for an easy purchasing decision

    As laser pointers go, you could do far worse than this little keychain Lightsaber. I mean think about it; if your job requires you to use a laser pointer, then you might as well have a cool one. And at $15, it's not like this is a huge monetary investment. As an investment in your social standing amongst your peers, though, this thing ought to pay off in spades.

    Darth Vader on the highway

    This is not the car he was driving. Despite cutting a impressive figure at 2.02 meters, having the finest weaponry and starfighters Imperial credits can buy, and controlling the Force, it seems that Darth Vader has gotten stuck on the side of the road. Dave Prowse was the physical form of Darth Vader for the original [...]

  • Steam has a great deal on the complete Jedi Knight collection

    Steam has a great deal on the complete Jedi Knight collection

    Okay, who here hasn't played one of the Jedi Knight games? No one? That sounds 'bout right. Let me just say that the series is one of the best of all time. The story line rich, the graphics always top notch for their time, and it's Star Wars. What's not to like? Do you yourself a favor, throw on some trousers and hop onto Steam where you can buy the complete series for $20; most of us are buying it. Sure, a few of the games might be aged, but the latest one, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, doesn't look terrible by today's standards.

    Star Wars meets rice: Japanese company sells lightsaber chopsticks

    If you happen to both be a Star Wars fan and have a penchant for Far Eastern food, this new gadget might be the right thing for you: lightsaber chopsticks. A Japanese company called Kotobukiya (which also has a US website) is selling three different models. The red version is aimed at Darth Vader fans for some reason, the green one is for Yoda fans and the blue model is supposedly the right one if you like Luke Skywalker best.

    Uncle Milton unleashes the Force

    As much I want the Force Trainer from Uncle Milton, the evil nerd in me would much rather have Darth Vader’s robotic arm instead! The Force Trainer is pretty straight forward based on the video, but the Vader Robotic Arm is so much more intriguing. A total of 45 “snap-together” parts comprise the fully functional robotic [...]

    Weekend Project: Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker loft bed

    star warsNO FAIR! This lucky whippersnapper surrounds himself with the intimidating protection of a Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker every night as he drifts off to sleep. And while it could be argued that the Rebel Alliance did indeed manage to destroy most or all of the AT-AT fleet, let's just admire the handiwork here and pretend none of that ever happened.
