Being a manly man, I don’t know much about cross stitching, but I do know cool cross stitching when I see it. These Star Wars Cross Stitch Patterns are available from Stitchering for download. These are PDF downloads. These will make your home look old timey and geeky at the same time. I can see a bunch of these looking great all along one wall. Sadly I don’t know how to cross stitch. Maybe someone will make one for me.
I love the style of this First Order TIE Fighter Pilot Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys. But I’ve always been a fan of the TIE Fighter pilots gear. The AT-AT driver was pretty cool too. This highly-accurate figure is based on the TIE Pilot in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
It has a newly designed glossy black TIE Pilot helmet and armor with life support system, a beautifully tailored flight suit, detailed blaster pistol, and a hexagonal figure stand with the First Order emblem! The First Order sure knows how to make it’s soldiers look good.
How would you like to sit in an X-wing cockpit? Well, if you find yourself in Singapore over the next few weeks, you can stop by Changi Airport, where there is a full sized X-Wing at terminal 3. You can even sit in it and get a picture.
This opportunity is on a first-come first-served basis. 80 tickets are given out for each time slot. That would be a very cool opportunity to actually sit in an X-Wing cockpit. There’s also a TIE-Fighter in Terminal 2. I’m booking a flight to Singapore.

This amazing seven-and-a-half-minute short created by a fan took over four years to complete, It should should help tide you over until the new Star Wars movies arrive. It was created by Paul Michael Johnson and animated in the style of 80s anime series’ like Mobile Suit Gundam.
The soundtrack is very 80s too and many of the sound effects from the classic TIE Fighter series of games from LucasArts were used as well. He did an awesome job.
A motorist driving in Germany spotted this Tie Fighter with debris all across the highway, while two Stormtroopers stand guard and wait to be picked up. I told all of my friends that Star Wars was real, but they didn’t believe me. Now I have proof! How did they tow that thing away?
The footage was presumably created by a fan of the show and the clip was posted on the Facebook page of the Dein Sky Fim channel. It has proved to be quiet a hit, and has already amassed an astronomic amount of views, in excess of seven million.
This series by Scott Erickson is titled Alliance Is Rebellion. Characters and vehicles from Star Wars are imagined as traditional Northwest Coast Indian art. They combine old traditions with new mythologies in a striking way.
