People like to mashup Disney Princesses with all kinds of other things, but Disney Princesses in the Star Wars universe may be among the weirdest ever. Belle as a wookiee? Jar Jar as Ariel? Aurora The Hutt? Cinderella the Protocol Droid? These images are just plain wrong. Still, they are sure to give you a laugh.
This is the work of BuzzFeed contributor Bill Varner. You shouldn’t have Bill. No, really. What have you unleashed upon the world?
In 1976, Star Trek was enjoying a surge in popularity in syndication, so Topps released a series of collectible trading cards that featured full-color images from the television series. This Star Trek: The Original Topps Trading Card Series Book is the first-ever compilation and it includes the fronts and backs of all 88 cards and 22 stickers.
Most of us who collected these no longer have these cards so this will be a welcome trip down memory lane. The book also includes text and commentary. I love paging through books like this. These cards and so many more were a huge part of my childhood.
These superheroes and villains are simple and elegant at the same time. Also timeless. They were created by artist Jeffrey Veregge who used his Native American heritage to create some truly unique images of the heroes and villains we love.
Here we have Batman, Robin, Hulk, Wolverine and more. They have an energy and intensity that I really love. They are all amazing, but I am especially liking his version of The Flash. This is some awesome and unique art that blends two awesome worlds together.

The Millennium Falcon as a car looks like a million bucks. Or a million galactic credits, Whichever is worth more. I’m no good at currency conversion. This is a concept from artist roobi and it looks outstanding. I think Hot Wheels needs to hire this guy and up their Star Wars car designs.
In a car like this you just have to do your best to avoid any Imperial entanglements, not that the cops could catch you. All I know is, I don’t want to be anywhere near this thing when it goes to hyper drive.
The only way to truly exterminate wet hands in the kitchen is to be armed with this awesome set of Doctor Who Dalek Hanging Towels. I think they are pretty adorable. These towels measure about 11 inches wide by 18 inches long.
The set includes a blue, red, white, and yellow Dalek towel. If you want a different color, you can request it and they will make it for you. They are 100% cotton and machine washable and dryable. These make a great housewarming gift.
UK based artist Bea Toa created this cool illustration that depicts Darth Vader’s helmet after R2-D2 borrowed it and gave it a makeover. The droid has a nice sense of humor and a great eye for art. R2’s work here actually gives us a look into the droid’s mind and it’s weird.
He obviously wants to be BFFs with Vader and even writes that he misses Vader and asks him to “Come back to us”. While at the same time, the droid gets his digs in with “Luke is a better pilot” and calling him a traitor. I guess R2 is one messed up droid. It’s awesome.
Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History is what every Ghostbusters fan needs to get their fix of classic Ghostbusters.

Check out these Star wars characters from graphic artist Bjorn Hurri. They have gone full steampunk and they look cool as hell. They are all decked out in copper plating, gears, monocles and leather, with the occasional steam stack thrown in for good measure. Bjorn is super talented. They are all beautiful.
There are more at his site, so check them all out. All of these illustrations are available as prints at his online store.
Night of the Living Trekkies is the perfect book for this time of year when we celebrate Halloween and fear all kinds of ghosts and ghouls. And zombies. Jim Pike seems like a mild-mannered nerd and is the world’s biggest Star Trek fan, but when hundreds of Trekkies arrive for a science-fiction convention, he is quickly surrounded by Klingons, Vulcans, and a strange virus that transforms its carriers flesh-eating zombies!
Yeah, that sounds like my kind of book. Trek and Zombies make this one a winning combination.
28 year old web applications developer Ian Martin had been playing holochess with his wife and brother on a small replica board using a set of rules that someone had developed and posted online. But once he moved into a house with a garage he decided to make a full-scale Dejarik table, complete with working control interfaces, sound effects, and programmed gaming aids. Oh and the alien figures. It looks amazing.
The table has 10 working knobs, 54 functional buttons, 26 lights, and two LCD display screens. It can play the unofficial game using a program that he wrote. Ian is a genius. It looks absolutely perfect.
