How do you blow up the Death Star? Turns out it’s easy. It takes just 5 easy steps. Still think it sounds tough? This infographic will explain everything. Study it well. That way if you ever join the rebellion and go up against a Death Star you’ll know what to do.
This fun infographic is from Behance user Tyler Reed, who wants to make sure that everyone is armed with the knowledge.
Check out this batch of concept art from writer/director Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium. The story revolves around a factory worker whose destiny is to make his way into a man-made space station that is a utopia. Most of humanity lives on Earth. They are basically the lower class. The Elite live on Elysium, a space-station with all the luxuries and medical technology that are denied the other citizens.
It’s been a while since I saw this one, but the movie had it’s share of brilliant moments. It felt like an old Sci-Fi novel. Seeing this concept art makes me want to watch it all over again.

I’m a big fan of Sci-Fi robots in general, but Twiki from Buck Rogers In The 25th Century has always had a special place in my heart. Behold the 1:1 Scale Replica of Buck’s little buddy. Sadly Dr. Theopolis is not with him, but that’s okay. All of the details are spot on. Besides, the creators are working on a version of him as well, so one day you can reunite them.
This replica is made from hand-cast urethane resin, with some nice looking stainless steel trim pieces and the head is even removable so you can position it how you like. He stands 48-inches tall and weighs in at 45 pounds! If that isn’t enough, this masterpiece also has a laser engraved and hand-numbered base plate. This limited edition collectible is must-have for Buck Rogers fans! Resident Dreamer Studios oversaw the creation of this replica, making it from available reference photos, screenshots, and measurements from Felix Silla’s screen worn costumes. This is as accurate as it is going to get.

After Revenge of the Sith, the Empire is on the rise. But it can not conquer just an iron fist alone. It needs to win the hearts and minds of the Imperial citizens to recruit them to the cause. That’s why the Star Wars: Rebels team came up with propaganda posters for the Empire.
These posters were being handed out at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year and they certainly fit the tone of the show. Of course we love any Propaganda posters around here as long as they are beautiful and menacing. These are!

Check out this Edge of Tomorrow concept art from production designer Oliver Scholl. His art department created these for the film. Here we get to see how different the aliens (mimics) might have looked. I like both versions and wouldn’t want to go up against any of them, time loop or no.
There are also some art pieces that show off the evolution of the exo-suit. The artwork here was created by Steve Burg, Tani Kunitake, Ed Natividad, Jeff Julian, Harald Belke and others. Live. Die. Repeat.

Star Wars took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but what if it took place in the here and now? Photographer Thomas Dagg shows us in these fun black and white photographs. These images have superimposed AT-ATs, the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters, and Star Wars characters in everyday settings. You’ll have to look closely at some of them to find the bit of Star Wars within. Like spotting Han Solo’s carbonite block by the trash.
Others are more obvious, like Jar Jar Binks laying in a dark alley. Someone finally got to him. These images are a fun look at what might have been if two worlds had collided. Hit the link above to see more at his website.

These Doctor Who Dalek salt and pepper shakers are stunning. The design is amazing right down to the packaging which will give you a chuckle when you read, “Pre-filled with genuine Skaro salt” on the side of the box.
Sadly these are just a mock-up, but I would totally buy these shakers. They are a classy and modern way to exterminate your taste buds with some extra seasoning. This set of beautifully designed shakers was created by graphic designer and illustrator Pablo Gelabert. I love these! Now I’m sad I can’t buy them.
Kimette and Jef do a great job cosplaying as a magnificent Mandalorian duo. I wouldn’t want to run into this pair in a dark alley somewhere on the edge of the Empire with no back up. I can see these two having their own show, where they get into trouble every week.
Love that armor! And that ponytail protruding from the helmet too. The photographer really created an amazing atmosphere too. Love it!

Alex Solis’ Famous Chunkies series is a good reminder to eat healthy. It shows what some of our favorite superheroes, sci-fi characters and other icons would look like if they were obese over-eaters.
Being rotund and craving cheeseburgers, these guys and gals are not having any adventures, unless you consider diabetes to be an epic adventure. Great work Alex. It’s a good reminder to us all to take care of ourselves.
Check out these pieces of concept art from Star Trek Into Darkness. The first few are of the red planet in the Nibiru system from concept artist Andrea Dopaso, which are simply stunning and look much better than what we saw on screen. The rest are production sketches from concept artists Keith Christensen, Constantine Sekeris and Neville Page.
The Klingon suit designs are especially interesting and there’s a concept design of the Klingon planet and some different versions of the Starfleet space suits.
