Full Size Stormtrooper Blaster LEGO Replica

Full Size Stormtrooper Blaster LEGO Replica
Check out all of the cool details on this LEGO replica of a Stormtrooper E-11 Blaster Rifle. They can’t shoot straight, but I guess they know how to build with LEGO bricks. Actually, Nick Jensen created this life-size recreation of the Stormtrooper weapon. It is 100% LEGO bricks and nothing but LEGO bricks.

Nick needs to just work for LEGO, because this blaster looks perfectly accurate as far as I can tell. I would love to buy this as an official LEGO set.

Every Star Wars Vehicle To Scale


Scott Park has illustrated the spaceships and vehicles from the original Star Wars trilogy to scale. Yes it is as awesome as it sounds. We get to see how a Ronto compares to a TIE-Fighter, to a Tauntaun and on and on. Scott did a great job on this animation. It really puts things into perspective. Some of the sizes may surprise you. For instance, I had forgotten how large those B-Wings were. They are about the size of an Imperial shuttle. Fun stuff.

Pop Culture Characters In Disguise

Pop Culture Characters In Disguise
Alex Solis has created an art series that shows familiar pop culture characters in disguise as other pop culture characters. Below are just a few to whet your appetite. He has many more on his Instagram page. I’m not sure why, but there is something very appealing about seeing these characters inside of other characters. I really like that Gizmo is hiding inside of a Furby. I knew it all along.

These Star Wars Toy Photo Prints Are Just Plain Fun

Star Wars Toy Photos
Look at these prints from PlaysWithToys and try not to smile. These fun photos show Star Wars toys at play. Everything from Boba Fett playing soccer to Luke and Darth playing hopscotch with a Stormtrooper.

These prints are a lot of fun. They even have one that shows Chewbacca posing with his Harley. I just love the playfulness of these images as if all of these moments were captured in real life.

Millennium Falcon Drone

Millennium Falcon Drone
Sadly, none of us can ever know what it’s like to pilot the Millennium Falcon, but taking the Millennium Falcon Drone out for a spin is the next best thing. It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

Imagine what you can do in your very own backyard. I know that I’ve always wanted to fly this ship. This remote controlled quadcopter is what Star Wars fans have been waiting for. Fly the ship that has become legend in the Star Wars universe.

Geisha Leia Cosplay

Geisha Leia Cosplay
Check out this lovely Geisha version of Princess Leia from cosplayer Hendo Art and photographer Nelsphotos. This is an elegant Leia for a more civilized age. She is absolutely stunning and totally in command of rebel hearts everywhere. It must have taken a lot of time to make sure that these images came out so perfectly. Many Bothans died to bring them to you.

Sixth Scale Star Wars Drop Ship By Hot Toys

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.

Antique Darth Vader: An Elegant Sith Lord For A More Civilized Age

Antique Darth Vader An Elegant Sith Lord For A More Civilized Age
Artist Alain Bellino created this awesome Darth Vader helmet assemblage using antique bronze ornaments and silverware. This is an elegant Darth Vader for a more civilized age. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to complete and the finished piece makes it completely worth it.

This is one piece that looks like it belongs in a museum. Check out how the light hits this thing. It is so shiny and Sithy. I would love to have this work of art in my home.

Star Wars Characters As Expensive Sports Cars

Star Wars Characters As Expensive Sports Cars
With Star Wars: The Force Awakens almost here, the folks at Car Wow have been passing the time by designing some cool new Star Wars themed cars. They have reimagined some popular characters as flashy sports cars.

I love them all, with one exception. Can you guess which one I think should be left in a junk yard? I’ll give you a hint. “Mes’a get good gas mileage Ani. Choose me.”
