These Star Wars Haute Couture Designs are amazing. Fashion illustrator Guillermo Meraz was clearly inspired by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There are designs here from the original trilogy too. Being a man, I’m not all that into fashion, but these designs blow me away. These designs show off Rey, Boba Fett, Yoda, BB-8, Chewbacca and more. I would love to see these on a runway somewhere in real life.
What are you going to give your significant other this Valentine’s day? You could do a lot worse then giving him or her one of these awesome geeky cards from artist PJ McQuade. He has all kinds of geeky Valentines for the ones you love. Everything from George McFly proclaiming “You are my density” to Star Trek II’s Khan with a card that reads “From the bottom of my heart, I kiss at thee.”
These are awesome cards. Geeky yet romantic. I hope I get one of these on Valentine’s Day. They go good with a box of chocolates.
Have you ever wondered how various sci-fi weapons compare to each other? How does the Energy Sword from Halo stack up against Han Solo’s blaster for instance? And could Mal reynolds’ gun beat them both? This infographic has the answers. It is a list of science fiction weaponry ranked by the amount of damage they do in Joules.
If nothing else, this fun list should help you settle some nerd disputes about weapons. Who am I kidding? It will probably just add fuel to the fire. It’s a fun look at some of our favorite weapons though.

This fun video shows off how robots evolved in movies and TV. Nowadays Sci-Fi flicks just aren’t complete unless they feature robots. That’s cool, because we love robots around here. Some of the best movies of all time have robots. The artwork is from Scott Park and Sploid turned his work into a cool video.
Sit back and enjoy the evolution of these synthetic beings. It makes me wonder what kind of robots we will see next.

Doctor Who now has his own coloring book, courtesy of Penguin publishing house. This coloring book is perfect for fans young and old. Anyone who is a kid at heart is going to love this book.

The initial pages spell out “Doctor Who,” with one letter on each page with the coloring design inside the letter borders. It looks like they did an awesome job with this one. It makes me want to color in the lines again and I haven’t done that since I was a kid.
That’s no moon. It’s a cool set of Star Wars Death Star Salt and Pepper Shakers. Give those mashed potatoes the Alderaan treatment and blast them with some seasoning. The Death Star is here to help you season all of your meals. This set is made of high quality ceramic and together they look just like the Empire’s powerful space station. They measure about 4-inches in diameter. Show those rebel scum what real flavor is.
We really love art that makes us look at familiar sci-fi icons in a whole new way. Kevin Greene does exactly that, taking famous sci-fi characters and giving them makeovers as caricatures as if painted by some European street artist. All of their features are exaggerated and accentuated. We love it.
You can enjoy all of these images and many more in his book called Heroes and Villains: The Sci-Fi Caricature Art of Kevin Greene. These images are fun and colorful and not at all how we normally see these characters.
Check out this rare look behind the scenes of E.T. with Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Melissa Mathison. It’s like entering a time machine and going all the way back to 1982. This rare interview clip was apparently captured from a long-forgotten foreign broadcast. They manage to pack a lot into this 3-minute clip.
If you ever wondered why they chose to make the story take place on Halloween, Mathison talks about this here. She also talks about the script a bit. It’s a charming little clip from a more civilized age. It is worth your 3 minute investment.
