“Das war Han Solo…” – German girl can ID Star Wars figures using just her mouth!

Friday, March 12, 2010

Here’s a delightfully odd video clip for the end of the working week -- this young German girl is blindfolded (with a customised Star Wars blindfold, no less) on a German television show and then identifies Star Wars mini figures using just her mouth! Or perhaps she was secretly channeling the force? I mean Luke [...]

Sascha Ciezata has created a great animation of maverick auteur David Lynch discussing being asked by head Jedi George Lucas to tackle some Star Wars (seriously, could you imagine a David Lynch Star Wars??? An especially freaky episode of Battlestar Galactica maybe, but SW?): When Lynch Met Lucas from Sascha Ciezata on Vimeo.

The force is strong with… er, the Paris Metro?

Hubert de Lartigue has been creating more X-Wing fighters for the Rebel Alliance’s battle against the nasty Empire; Hubert has been crafting one of science fiction’s most distinctive spacecraft designs from Paris Metro tickets, using only a scalpel and a folding tool (an art I’m told is kirigami, as opposed to origami which I think [...]

French Star Wars

Or perhaps Guerre D’Etoile? Either way this is a wonderfully cheesy French clip inspired by Star Wars; the poster doesn’t say what programme its from or when its made, but judging by the delightfully awfuly video effects and overlays it looks late 70s or early 80s, which would tie in the with the original movies.

Okay, how cool is this? A home-made platform bed made to look like one of the brilliant AT-AT Imperial Walkers first seen stomping across the ice of Hoth in the Empire Strikes Back. Awesome! (via SciFi Rules twitter) And on the theme of cool sleeping spots, how about this bed made to resemble the gaping, cavernous, [...]

Star Wars – Force the feet!

Yes, looks like you will soon be able to feel the Force with your feet as Adidas unveil a range of Star Wars themed trainers; perhaps just the thing if you didn’t care for the Robert Crumb Vans we mentioned last week. Looks like there is a Darth Vader design, an Imperial Stormtrooper pair and [...]

Chris Trevas, one of the official Star Wars artists, had a rather unusual wedding cake at his nuptials – Courtney Clark of Cake Nouveau made a special cake for him, a dead Tauntaun from The Empire Strikes Back, complete with comatose Luke Skywalker keeping warm inside! On the official Star Wars blog Chris comments “Older [...]

Wrath of the Mandalorian

This Star Wars fan film has been on YouTube for a while, but I hadn’t seen it until SF Signal blogged about it -- it’s pretty impressive for a fan film. Not only does it throw in Walkers and TIE Fighters flying over a forest as Jedis take cover I noticed even the wipes between [...]

John McCrea and PJ Holden at FPI Belfast

Friday, July 31, 2009

(Jenny Sparks strikes a light, art by Jon McCrea, pinched shamelessly from his site) John at our Belfast branch tells me that he’s lined up a signing with two local artists I’m sure our readers are familiar with already, PJ Holden and John McCrea. PJ, of course, has carved himself a good (and growing) rep with [...]

Here’s a cute follow up to the Jabba the Hutt cuddle felt figure I mentioned on Friday – its a Sarlaac pillow! (link via Boing Boing) And in case you’re wondering this was created for the Stitch Wars exhibition of Star Wars crafts. Brilliant – I love the way there’s even a wee Boba Fett helmet [...]

This adorable fella is a very cuddly felt Jabba the Hutt created by Kit Lane; there are more pics on Lane’s Flickr stream. I wonder if there is a cuddly Leia in the slave bikini too… (via Boing Boing)
