Who could forget that hologram game that R2-D2 and Chewbacca play on the Millennium Falcon. In case you don’t know, the game is called Dejarik. Well, Etsy seller CastleMcQuade has put a version together, in classic Mattel board game style! As an awesome print for your wall.
It measures 19″ x 13″ and is a limited edition of just 77 pieces. Each is signed and numbered. This is a must have for the wall of your man cave.
If you know anything about Star wars at all, you know that Biggs Darklighter was Luke Skywalker’s best friend in the first Star Wars movie. Less serious fans may not know this however, because most of his scenes were cut from the final version of the film.
Whether you are familiar with the character or not, in this installment of Jamie Benning’s Filmumentaries, Garrick Hagon, who played Biggs, talks about his experience with Star Wars. It’s fascinating stuff. Get to know Biggs a little better.

Phenix Customs makes all kinds of custom Star Wars action figures and not the ones you would expect. Stuff like Obi-Wan’s empty cloak after Vader kills him, the charred remains of Lukes aunt and uncle, chunks of what was formerly Alderaan, and many more. All on the card.
I especially like the severed Wampa arm. Cool stuff. You should definitely go buy something and help support his craft.
Nothing beats the imagination of a child. I don’t know how many hours I spent pretending that I was Luke Skywalker. These paintings by Craig Davison capture that very spirit.
When a child uses their imagination, nothing can stop them and the adventures that they have are unlike anything else. Somehow these paintings really capture what it means to be a kid growing up with Star Wars.

The talented Phil Postma did these excellent Star Wars cards based on Topps’ series 1 trading cards from 1977, only from the perspective that Pixar did Star Wars. These cards are awesome. And this is exactly what Star wars would look like if Pixar had created the movie.
I would love to see his take on some of the other series of Star wars cards. The art is top notch.
This video clip is history in the making. I’ll set the scene for you. Luke and Han are in the Millennium Falcon.(Use your imagination) Alderaan is gone. Destroyed by the Empire. And Mark Hamill just landed the gig of his life. Because this is not really Han and Luke. Not yet.
This is Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford in their everyday clothes. But even then, during Mark Hamill’s screen test, it is mesmerizing and the performance is totally convincing. Yeah, this is the guy for the job.
This huge 3’7 by 3′ Millennium Falcon is made out of at least 10,000 pieces of Lego. The amount of detail here is just out of this world. It seems like they got every last bit of the Falcon just right. Han would be proud.
It was created by Titan Creations, a Singapore-based team of builders. Every nook and cranny of the Falcon’s interior is here. This build is just crazy. You can see Chewie and Han in the cockpit. Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, Luke and Ben Kenobi are all here too.

When I was a kid back in 1977, my favorite droid was R2-D2 of course, but my second favorite was R5-D4. I just really liked the color scheme and the design. R5 was an awesome droid. That’s why Luke almost picked him. Now you can display the best version of R5-D4 that you can buy. This Star Wars R5-D4 Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collectibles is simply stunning.
Slightly larger than R2-D2, Sideshow’s R5-D4 Sixth Scale Figure measures about 8.6 inches tall from antenna to treads. The details are spot on and frankly, have me falling in love with this droid all over again. Every detail of the R5 unit is faithfully replicated, from his desert-worn exterior, to his advanced articulation. Just look at that distinctive head and authentic holographic details. That head can swivel nearly 360 degrees, while a magnetic restraining bolt grants access to a variety of compartments and hinged panels. He also suffers a pop-up “bad motivator,” which is super cool.
He is only $139.99 from Sideshow Collectibles and I’m buying one right away.
It never ceases to amaze me what people can do with paper of all things. Check out these amazingly detailed, 3D Star Wars scenes. They are actually made from just a single sheet of paper, by artist Paper Dandy a.k.a. Marc Hagan-Guirey. They just boggle my mind.
Marc cuts the shapes, then bends and folds the paper using an ancient art called kirigami. It’s like origami but with cutting designs. Have you ever seen such detailed paper art in your entire life? Marc is not only talented, but also very prolific as you can see from the images below. These are just some of his creations.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Marilyn Monroe in Darth Vader’s armor. Spanish artist Marta de Andrés wanted to make a statement about the strength of women and equality between men and women. This is one striking way to get her point across. I love the juxtaposition of evil Darth Vader and desirable Marilyn.
A few possible titles for this piece of art:
The Seven Year Sith
Some Like It Darth
Also, I can’t stop seeing Darth Marilyn singing “Happy Birthday Mister Palpatine” in my head.
