Verizon Offers Free Star Wars: The Force Awakens Cardboard VR Sets

Verizon is offering Star Wars themed Google Cardboard VR sets for free. There are four models available. You can get them in Stormtrooper, R2-D2, BB-8, and Kylo Ren versions. Each will come with unique content based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This will help us bide our time until the movie arrives.

The custom Cardboard VR sets are available in select Verizon locations across the US, and Verizon says that it has 200,000 of them ready to give out. Sadly, they are only for Verizon customers, so if you aren’t a Verizon customer, you won’t be able to get your hands on one.

They can be used with any Android phone or iPhone to access the VR content available in the Google Play Store or in the Apple App Store.

This Diamond Studded Gold BB-8 Is Worth $135,000

I guess we know what the BB stands for in BB-8. It must mean Bling Bling. That is one shiny droid. Definitely the one I’m looking for. No Jedi mind trick can sway me. However, the price certainly puts a damper on my enthusiasm. Disney Consumer Products and Kay Jewelers have teamed up to create a stunning new interpretation of the new droid in gold and diamonds.

It took 600 hours to create and it has been valued at $135,000. This luxury version of the droid is just 4.25″ high and weighs just over 1.5 lbs. Made from 18-carat yellow gold, this piece has around 860 diamonds which amounts to 18 carats. This little and expensive droid will be displayed at the Force 4 Fashion exhibit in New York and auctioned off for charity later this month. Even R2-D2 wasn’t this valuable when he had the Death Star plans.

Sixth Scale Star Wars Drop Ship By Hot Toys

Hot Toys has really been going crazy lately and their plan seems to be “the bigger, the better”. Remember that 18 foot Millennium Falcon and cockpit? How about a Drop Ship that measures about 12 feet? A few days back, Hot Toys unveiled a sixth scale diorama at the Times Square in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. This phenomenal display includes that 18 foot long Millennium Falcon along with some new surprises.

Check out that First Order drop ship that we have seen in the trailers for The Force Awakens. It is a highly detailed and accurate version of the ship as far as we can tell. Every bit as cool as their other large ships. It probably won’t be produced commercially, but man, I would love to play with these huge toys. The sixth scale figs look amazing with these ships.

Kylo Ren And Boba Fett Motorcycles

We’ve seen Tamás Jakus’ work before. He designs some killer motorcycles based on some of our favorite movies. You might remember his CHAPPiE bike that we featured awhile back. Now he is back with a few new designs.

That black beauty you see above is clearly based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens baddie Kylo Ren. It is called the Jakusa Equus Kylo. Below is an awesome Boba Fett inspired bike. I can totally see Boba Fett riding that thing while pursuing his bounty on some far away planet. This bike is just stunning.

If Star Wars’ BB-8 Droid Were Designed By Apple

What if BB-8, that cute new spherical droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was made by Apple? That’s what designer/concept artist Martin Hajek asked himself. Thiese images are the answer. This BB-8 was made with extreme attention to detail. The droid would come in silver, gold, and space gray.

It would also feature that iconic glowing Apple logo on the side. Of course it would also cost way more than the competition and you would have to upgrade it every year, but no droid is perfect.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Live Motion Capture

Slashgear has a very interesting article about how Star Wars: The Force Awakens is being made. It’s pretty similar to how video games are made. The focus may be on practical effects this time around, but there is a lot more going on than meets the eye. It’s pretty impressive stuff.

There’s a lot there for fans of the Battlefront game as well, so make sure you read the whole thing. It is really eye-opening. If you don’t have the time, just check out this video below.
