Kid Vader Has All The Cool Toys

When we think about Darth Vader, we usually picture him doing something sinister. Like Force Choking someone or blowing up a planet. That’s why it’s so striking and fun to see images like this. This put a smile on my face. This CGI photography is titled Kid Vader. It was a personal project from London based photographer Parker Biley.

Here we see Darth Vader as a young kid, playing with all of his toys. Not sure if he is putting that LEGO Yoda together with the Force, or tearing it down, but I love it.

Clever Doctor Who Boxed Papercraft Toys

These clever papercraft toys from Etsy seller Dougy74design are awesome. They even come in their own papercraft boxes. They will cost you just $32. and you can choose from the 4th Doctor, the 10th Doctor, Princess Leia, Boba Fett, Harry potter and more.

I just love the look of these guys and the packaging just seals the deal. I have to get a few of these for my collection before they all sell out. Hopefully the seller will create some more. I would request a Dalek to accompany the good Doctors.

Star Wars Christmas Cards

Deviantart user McQuade has several neat Star Wars Christmas cards that are getting us in the mood for a Star Wars Christmas. These colorful and humorous designs will crack you up and make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Even Salacious B. Crumb looks like he’s having a good time. I think my favorite is Luke getting the Wampa action figure and telling the story of his encounter. The artist combines Christmas and Star Wars together perfectly. I may have to go and listen to Christmas In The Stars now.

Elizabethan Style Sci-Fi Characters

Do you prefer your heroes and Sci-Fi characters to have a classical flair? Do you like to watch period pieces that feature the likes of Batman and Darth Vader? If they existed, you would watch it. And so would I? These amazing photographs will give you a taste of what that would be like.

Photographer Sacha Goldberger has put all of our favorites into Elizabethan costumes. Boba Fett, Captain America, Catwoman and plenty of others are all in period dress and posed in the artistic styles of the Dutch Renaissance. Goldberger calls the series “Super Flemish.” We like this one a lot.

Cats Replace Sci-Fi and Comic Book Characters In These Colorful Prints

You have to love these colorful and geeky prints from Etsy seller GeekyPet. They replace all of the sci-fi and superhero icons that we love with felines, which in many cases, changes the way you look at these characters. They don’t take themselves too seriously, but all fit in nicely. In fact, it’s scary how well these cats do at replacing our heroes.

These fun and playful prints include Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and many more. Check out the Etsy shop to see them all. Jabba The Cat is probably my favorite.

Star Wars Rebels Imperial Propaganda Posters

After Revenge of the Sith, the Empire is on the rise. But it can not conquer just an iron fist alone. It needs to win the hearts and minds of the Imperial citizens to recruit them to the cause. That’s why the Star Wars: Rebels team came up with propaganda posters for the Empire.

These posters were being handed out at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year and they certainly fit the tone of the show. Of course we love any Propaganda posters around here as long as they are beautiful and menacing. These are!

Star Wars Characters On Earth

Star Wars took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but what if it took place in the here and now? Photographer Thomas Dagg shows us in these fun black and white photographs. These images have superimposed AT-ATs, the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters, and Star Wars characters in everyday settings. You’ll have to look closely at some of them to find the bit of Star Wars within. Like spotting Han Solo’s carbonite block by the trash.

Others are more obvious, like Jar Jar Binks laying in a dark alley. Someone finally got to him. These images are a fun look at what might have been if two worlds had collided. Hit the link above to see more at his website.

Amazing Photos of ILM Building Star Wars Models

While we await more info about Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, here is a treasure trove of images that will keep you occupied for awhile. A collection of 140 photographs featuring Industrial Light & Magic’s model building process from 1977 to 1983. These images are just stunning and a good reminder of how incredibly talented these folks were.

The detail on some of these models is just breathtaking. THIS is why more filmmakers need to go back to using models. I could look at these all day long and still see things I never noticed before.
