Take a hot chick and put her in a DIY anything that is from a geek flick and you have instant win. The DIY R2-D2 helmet that we saw a while back was a perfect example of Star Wars DIY. Here is another example of Star Wars DIY and this is hotter than the helmet if you ask me. I missed this when it turned up on the Star Wars Blog back in July, but it surfaced again recently.

Lucasfilm Singapore getting new building in 2012 that looks like a Sandcrawler!

, Sep 5th 2011 Discuss [4]

I think that like most Star Wars fans I have a love/hate relationship with George Lucas. He has been behind the two iconic franchises of my youth with Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Lucas has pimped Star Wars out more than I like in some instances, and he keeps changing things in the films that I thought were already excellent. Still, he is good for something epic every now and again. Read The Full Story

Lucas mods Return of the Jedi Blu-ray, Vader says Nooooo!

, Sep 2nd 2011 Discuss [8]

I am not sure if I want to drive at to Cali, find George Lucas, and kick him in both of his testicles for changing the Star Wars films again or be pumped that the Blu-ray release is very close. These are after all some of the most iconic and memorable movies from my childhood. The reality is I am feeling a little of both right now. I mentioned a few weeks back that Lucas had said changes were coming. Read The Full Story

If Jaba lived on Hoth, he would rock the Han Solo carbonite ice tray

, Aug 26th 2011 Discuss [0]

When I look at this Han Solo carbonite silicone ice tray I can't help but wonder why. Why do I not have one of these. Put some grape juice or other dark juice in this and you could have your own carbonite solo floating in your punch bowl. This would be perfect for your punch bowl during your Star Wars Blu-ray viewing party. Read The Full Story

Star Wars Blu-ray films get tweaks and new surprises

, Aug 24th 2011 Discuss [6]

One of the things I am looking forward to is the launch of the Star Wars franchise on Blu-ray. I am really looking forward to the 1080p resolution for checking out my favorite sci-fi movies on my projector screen. We all know that back before the three newer films hit theaters George Lucas went back and tweaked the original films to update them for new audiences. The original films also got some new content that wasn't there the first time around when I was a kid. Read The Full Story

I am a big fan of Star Wars as are most geeks. I think that it's really cool to see girls that are fans of Star Wars too.

Duct tape Princess Leia costume is cosplay on the cheap

Lindsay Boo Barrasse may well be the ideal geek girlfriend me thinks. She's hot and she took it upon herself to construct a Princess Leia costume. Why did she make the costume you ask? Does it really matter? She's hot and dressed like Princess Leia. Granted I would have been more impressed had she created the gold bikini Jaba made Leia wear. Read The Full Story

, Jul 19th 2011 Discuss [0]

I was too young to catch the first two Star Wars flicks when I was a kid in the theater. I did watch Return of the Jedi in the theater about six times in one week when it opened though. I called both my grandparents and my various aunts and uncles looking for anyone to take me to see it again. I liked that flick a lot and I even had my own metal Return of the Jedi lunch box I rocked in grade school. Read The Full Story
