Star Wars TIE Fighter Universal Mobile Car Grip

Star Wars TIE Fighter Universal Mobile Car Grip
The empire wasn’t short of resources and the TIE Fighter was the most effective short-range assault space fighter they had. It was so effective, Lord Vader nearly wiped out the entire rebel fighter force in order to protect the Death Star. If you are more inclined towards the dark side, this Mobile Car Grip modeled after the iconic fighter vessel will be your phone holder of choice. It holds your phone while you drive allowing you to use Sat-Nav on the road as well as the 90 degrees rotation feature. The Star Wars TIE Fighter Universal Mobile Car Grip is compatible with most vehicles and is very easy to install.

Star Wars TIE Fighter Desk

Star Wars TIE Fighter Desk
This desk is perfect for both TIE Fighter pilots and ordinary fans like you and me. It looks just like a TIE fighter. Now you can make pew pew pew noises while you do your work. This spaceship desk comes to you from the folks at Rooms To Go. It is solidly constructed with a gray finish and powder coated steel construction and “carbonite” textured details. I admit I would have to stop myself from shoving all of the work off of my desk so I could sit on it and pretend I’m flying a TIE Fighter.

Star Wars R2-D2 Coffee Press
Have a cup of wake-up juice courtesy of our favorite Astromech Droid. This Star Wars R2-D2 Coffee Press has the magic juice and this droid is just waiting to be of service. He holds 32 ounces of coffee (4 cups). He’s your new hope for great mornings with a fresh cup of joe. You’ll sound like C-3PO. “R2 it is you! It is you!” Drink up.

More proof that R2 is the coolest droid in the Star Wars universe.

Where Was This Star Wars Sandcrawler Toy Box When I was A Kid?

Where Was This Star Wars Sandcrawler Toy Box When I was A Kid?
Dads these days are building all kinds of cool stuff for their kids. Like this awesome Sandcrawler toybox made by Matthew Regonini for his son. He used a single piece of plywood passed through a CNC machine. After all the cutting and etching, he assembled it using wood glue and nails. A blowtorch gave it that classic weathered look. This is an awesome playset for your figures as well as a place to store your toys.

L3-37 Droid Now Has Amazon’s Alexa

L3-37 Droid Now Has Amazon's Alexa
Patrick Stefanski has turned Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant into a desktop version of L3-37. And thankfully, it isn’t anywhere near as annoying as the actual droid from Solo. He also gave it a British accent. While I can’t stand this annoying droid, this is an awesome project. I love how it says, “what?”every time he interacts with it. Patrick did a solid job with this one.

30 Alternate Designs of Solo’s Millennium Falcon

30 Alternate Designs of Solo's Millennium Falcon
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.
30 Alternate Designs of Solo's Millennium Falcon
The moral of the story? Don’t mess with a classic.
