These fun Star Wars Yoga designs come from Austin-based artist Rob Osborne. The Star Wars characters are illustrated in various yoga poses in his series titled Star Wars Yoga. I had no idea they did Yoga in a galaxy far, far away.
If you like what you see, you can get prints from his Etsy shop. Just remember, no matter what galaxy you are from, always stretch first to avoid injuries.
Sometimes you look at a paper model and it’s easy to admire the fine craftsmanship, and sometimes an artist takes things to a whole new level and you are just blown away. This Millennium Falcon is made almost entirely out of paper. It’s 99% paper and 1% LED lights and fiber optics on the interior. Basically it is a masterpiece of paper engineering and design.
It took Polish artist Bernard Szukiel four years to complete it using photos as reference. His devotion is as inspiring as the finished product. No detail has been missed. It has the LEDs and fiber optics inside, even the scratches on the paint are accurate. Bernard you are a true master craftsman!
If you fancy yourself smuggler enough to wield this Han Solo Blaster prop replica, you better live up to Han Solo himself and not let Greedo shoot first. This is a super nice replica with intricate details you’d expect in a more expensive piece.
I have seen a ton of fan-made blasters, but this one is a true gem. It is perfect for cosplay or just to hang on the mantle. This one is a steal at $149. from JohnsonArmsProps.
If any of you ladies want to dress like the Galaxy’s most badass bounty hunter, check out this Boba Fett pin-up style cosplay dress. Granted, it makes you look sexy and cute as opposed to deadly, but that’s okay because this dress should make it easy for you to get close to your bounty. It is from Etsy seller ActionPink.
The seller also has Darth Vader and Stormtrooper dresses. They certainly make the dark side look lovely.
If you enjoy a good user interface, you’ll like this video. Noel Rubin created the computer interfaces in Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace and Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith. Here he shows off some of his UI creations. I really love the whole art of creating UI and how it can elevate and enhance movies. Sometimes they can almost make or break a movie.
Here you will see Anakin Skywalker’s podracer, the Trade Federation Battleship, Naboo Queenship, the R2-D2 Naboo Palace hologram and more. This is a really nice look at a lot of the UI designs seen in the Star Wars prequels.

A new book highlights some of the most gorgeous costume work from the original Star Wars trilogy. In Star Wars Costumes: The Original Trilogy, Brandon Alinger has compiled a history of every major costume from the first three Star Wars films. Think about that for a moment. Think about all of the charcters that were on screen in that trilogy. This was not an easy task.
Check out the trailer for the book here as well as some of the pages. This is going to be a fun read.
Sometimes you come across some poster art that is just stunning and blows you away. Take a moment to really absorb this art by Orlando Arocena. It is striking, bold, colorful and super detailed.
No one will blame you if you just stare at the screen for several minutes appreciating these awesome posters.
Have you ever wondered what Star wars characters are called in other countries? Well, cartoonist James Chapman clues us in with this cute cartoon. The Millennium Falcon is the Millénium Condor naturally. Chewie is Chico. That seems about right too. But Jabba the Woodsman? I don’t remember that side of the space slug. The Death Star is The Black Star.
It’s fun to look at different languages and compare words. The great thing about Star wars is that no matter what language you watch it in, the story is universal. May the France be with you! Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not manly enough to get a tattoo. However, if I ever man up and get one, it would probably be something awesome like the tattoos below. These excellent tattoos of LEGO Minifigs were made by Polish artist Max Pniewski from Bristol, England.
The artist obviously loves to ink LEGO Minifigs and he does an excellent job. Everything from Breaking Bad to Star Wars and superheroes. I love the quality of his work. Maybe it’s time I just walk in and get a tattoo. Nah. I’ll just admire these.
Have you ever even given a moment’s thought to the puppeteers that brought Jabba the Hutt to life in Return of the Jedi? If you have, this documentary will be very fascinating for you. If you haven’t given much thought to Jabba and how he came to be, you will be even more fascinated.
This in-depth 20-minute fan documentary by filmmaker Jamie Benning includes rare outtakes, stills and all kinds of behind-the-scenes magic. Thank God George Lucas couldn’t do Jabba in CGI at that time, because what we got was wonderful. You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about our favorite giant slug.
