Darth Vader – Life after the Death Star

Monday, August 15, 2011

0 Comments

Here’s a bit of Star Wars fun to start off the working week, with this parody by Phil Enright and friends, looking at what a traumatised and down on his luck Darth Vader had to do to cope after Luke Skywalker blew up the Death Star in A New Hope. He had it all, feared, [...]

The Dark Side is so cool!

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

0 Comments

The Dark Side may be the evil side of the Force, but we know they are also cooler – I mean instead of brown bathrobes the Dark Side guys wear cool black, they get to stay up later and they have the best music. And that cool Imperial March/Vader’s theme music by the mighty John [...]

Existentialist Star Wars

Saturday, May 14, 2011

This made me laugh – a French existentialist take on Star Wars, the French dialogue version of the film with subtitles altered to suit a film by ‘George Lucas and Jean-Paul Sartre’, it’s funny and also a good piss-take of some of the more self absorbed older French flicks (link via that man Matt Staggs):

If Ikea did Sci-Fi…

Now this made me giggle – Gizmodo has a post up, what if Ikea made their self-assembly instructions for science fiction devices? Your own Ikea flat-pack TARDIS? Heh. I wonder how the Ikea style graphical instructions would tell you how to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow? And you just know that after assembly [...]

Thursday, May 12, 2011

Joe Nicolosi was talking to his friend Amanda who, it turned out, has never seen an entire Star Wars film all the way through, just bits and pieces. Did she want to watch them, he asked her. Sure, except she knows pretty much what happens, so why bother? So out of interest he asked her [...]

(The Millennium Falcon, the fastest ship to ever make the Kessel Run, here illustrated by the one and only Cam Kennedy for Star Wars: Dark Empire) Yes, it is May the 4th and that means Sith and Jedi and even non-believers who’d rather have a good blaster at their side than rely on a hokey [...]

“It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.”

It can only be the Millennium Falcon – maybe not as powerful as the USS Enterprise, as unusual looking as a White Star or as dimensionally amazing as a TARDIS, but for my money it is still one of the all-time coolest spacecraft designs in science fiction. Unrealitymag has the blueprints, check them out (link [...]

Some very create interpretations on International Star Wars posters…

Saturday, March 12, 2011

Comments Off

International film posters from the Star Wars films. The majority of them are iterations of the various originals, but some are jut magnificently out there. The sort of artwork you imagine the poster artist did without anything but the barest reference available to the actual film…. either that or drugs, very strong drugs. Poland: Hungary: [...]

More Calvin & Hobbes Star Wars, plus Pooh, plus Sesame St…..

Thursday, August 26, 2010

Comments Off

Doing the quick post about Calvin & Hobbes yesterday sent me along (as these link trails invariably do) somewhere very nice – to the “relentlessly cheerful art” of James Hance. Loads of great mash ups including one of the original (I think) C&H/SW mash ups:

Aren’t these Hello Kitty modifications just brilliant? Cool and also still quite sweet but with added SF/comics appeal! Joseph Senior’s MySpace has numerous clever and very well done examples like this, go and enjoy them (via Robot 6 who got it in turn from The Design Scene Blog)
