Looks Like R2-D2 Borrowed Darth Vader’s Helmet

UK based artist Bea Toa created this cool illustration that depicts Darth Vader’s helmet after R2-D2 borrowed it and gave it a makeover. The droid has a nice sense of humor and a great eye for art. R2’s work here actually gives us a look into the droid’s mind and it’s weird.

He obviously wants to be BFFs with Vader and even writes that he misses Vader and asks him to “Come back to us”. While at the same time, the droid gets his digs in with “Luke is a better pilot” and calling him a traitor. I guess R2 is one messed up droid. It’s awesome.

Steampunk Star Wars

Check out these Star wars characters from graphic artist Bjorn Hurri. They have gone full steampunk and they look cool as hell. They are all decked out in copper plating, gears, monocles and leather, with the occasional steam stack thrown in for good measure. Bjorn is super talented. They are all beautiful.

There are more at his site, so check them all out. All of these illustrations are available as prints at his online store.

Awesome Custom Playable Star Wars Holochess Set

28 year old web applications developer Ian Martin had been playing holochess with his wife and brother on a small replica board using a set of rules that someone had developed and posted online. But once he moved into a house with a garage he decided to make a full-scale Dejarik table, complete with working control interfaces, sound effects, and programmed gaming aids. Oh and the alien figures. It looks amazing.

The table has 10 working knobs, 54 functional buttons, 26 lights, and two LCD display screens. It can play the unofficial game using a program that he wrote. Ian is a genius. It looks absolutely perfect.

Star Wars The Ultimate Vinyl Collection Original Soundtrack

Star Wars would have still been good if the music had been different, but it is Oscar-winning composer John Williams score that makes them legendary. Well now you can get the Star Wars soundtracks on Vinyl. Again. The Star Wars The Ultimate Vinyl Collection Original Soundtrack includes all six films, restored from their original masters and boasting the classic and original artwork.

The six individual albums come in gatefold jackets on 180-gram vinyl and include a digital download card for one complete box set of all six soundtracks. I fell in love with these soundtracks as a kid and it was really something magical to be able to listen to the music and re-live scenes from the movie in my head. Or maybe pretend I was being trained by Yoda in the swamp. Or outrunning TIE-Fighters. Great stuff.

Also available on Amazon.

Millennium Falcon Limited Edition Print

This Millennium Falcon Limited Edition Print from David Kennedy is perfect for your man-cave or Star Wars themed room. I really like the close-up hand embellished details. It is limited to just 100 pieces.

Each individual print is worked on by hand, using metallic ink to highlight various elements of the Falcon’s details. Because of the nature of this process, each individual piece will be slightly different from each other, adding to the uniqueness of every version shipped. Every print is hand-signed and given a unique number, along with a certificate of authenticity, created and signed by the artist.

Iron Man Lightsaber

Who knew that Tony Stark was a Jedi? He must be. He has the lightsaber. It was made by custom Saber forum member Eastern57. I have to say, I like it. It’s like the Ferrari of lightsabers.

In case you were wondering, the design is based on Starkiller’s lightsaber from Force Unleashed, but it also has Iron Man’s red and gold color scheme. How is it powered? A mini arc reactor of course. Stark industries has certainly upped their game on this product.
