These Star Trek Discovery Insignia Badges look great and are made from layers of mirrored acrylic and brushed metal textured acrylic for an accurate appearance. They look great and can be customized with officer rank. They also have magnetic back strips. I’m not a big fan of the badges that they use on this show, but these look great.
Students at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, are working on a real-life version of TARS from Interstellar. This is a smaller version of TARS and it doesn’t move quite as well as the movie version, but given enough time these students can probably get it working even better. They did a fantastic job on this robot. This is a hard one to recreate.

The Millennium Falcon’s design is so iconic, it’s probably not a great idea to mess with it. Otherwise, you get what we are calling the Millennial Falcon, the design they actually used in the Solo movie. Here are 30 other designs that James Clyne, the design supervisor for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and his team came up with. They’re not much better than the movie version. Basically, all they did was combine the Falcon with parts from other Star Wars ships. Like adding some Y-wing parts, making one look like a Star Destroyer, adding TIE Fighter wings and other nonsense. These are every bit as bad as what we got in the movie.
The moral of the story? Don’t mess with a classic.
