Come On, Disney, Hip-Hop Stormtrooper Needs to Be Star Wars Canon

“Can I walk onto a Star Wars set and fit into the background?” A lot of the costumes on display here could do exactly that. Probably not Hip-Hip Trooper, though. He’s definitely Expanded Universe… unless things change. Thousands of Star Wars fans converged on Anaheim more than a week ago for the annual Celebration fan-fest.…

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: The Bling Side Of The Force

Last week a Tokyo jeweler covered a Darth Vader helmet in gold, leading to at least two obvious questions—why just the helmet, and why only Vader? Surely the entire extended Star Wars cast is deserving a shiny metal makeover. Ginza Tanaka may have had good intentions, but he fell way short of his completely assumed…

The Gold Darth Vader Helmet You’ve Always Wanted

The Dark Side of the Force? Oh no. This is the bling side. Tokyo’s Ginza Tanaka has covered a Darth Vader helmet in gold. According to The Wall Street Journal, the jeweler won’t divulge how much it cost to create this glittery Vader and isn’t offering the mask for sale. Instead, as Reuters adds, the…

When Luke Skywalker Sucked at Being a Jedi

In the original Star Wars trilogy, we saw Luke Skywalker pull off amazing shit. Destroying the Death Star. The cool-ass sequence where he stormed Jabba the Hutt’s skiff. (That somersault!) We saw him struggle a lot, too. But, the newest issue of the Star Wars comic gives us a glimpse at how bad his self-doubt…

Bulgarian Music Video Is Weird Star Wars

The latest video from Bulgarian group Deep Zone Project features some familiar co-stars. Not sure if they’re official ones, though. Yeah… I’ve got a very bad feeling about this. Plus, Star Wars: Kinect flashbacks. The video, which was spotted by Europ Popped, doesn’t even look remotely official. The tune is called “May the Force Be…

Force Awakens Actor Roamed Star Wars Con Disguised As Clone Trooper

Cosplay can be pretty useful, especially if you use it as misdirection. And that’s exactly what John Boyega, star of the upcoming Star Wars movie, did at a convention recently. As The Daily Dot writes, Boyega was at the Star Wars Celebration last weekend…as a Clone Trooper. Nobody noticed! That was the point, of course.…

The Brilliant Star Wars Galaxies Idea That Didn’t Happen

In 2003, way before anyone could even imagine a Star Wars-Disney union, thousands of eager padawans signed up for an online game called Star Wars Galaxies. Today, Galaxies is no more, rendered obsolete by a glut of other massively multiplayer RPGs including BioWare’s recent Star Wars: The Old Republic. But back then the SOE-developed game…

BioWare’s Star Wars Games Are Not Official Star Wars Canon

With the new Star Wars movies, Disney basically tossed out everything in the Extended Universe. At last week’s fan convention, someone asked what it meant for BioWare’s games. What “canon” means for Star Wars has changed in the last few years. While Disney is reigning in what is and isn’t considered “official,” it’s still open…

So Many Mandalorian Mercs At Star Wars Celebration 2015

How many Mandalorian mercenaries can you fit in the Anaheim Convention Center? Looks like all of them. With close to a hundred of them in the shot above alone, Mandalorian mercenaries (or Mandos for short) make up the majority of our second batch of Star Wars Celebration 15 cosplay photos, courtesy of the fine folks…

Star Wars Battlefront Looks Cool, But I’m Not Ready To Get Excited

Star Wars fans are easy marks. It’s one of our kind’s more endearing qualities, even while it tends to leave us vulnerable to being exploited. And we have been exploited, even by, perhaps accidentally, the man who created this universe and brand. When you’re sitting in a big room full of hardcore fans at Star…

The Coolest Cosplay from Star Wars Celebration 2015

“It’s time to put on makeup/It’s time to dress up right/It’s time to raise the curtain on the Empire Show tonight!” Unless you’ve been trapped in a Death Star garbage compactor all week, you probably know that Star Wars Celebration is happening right now. And, of course, the fanfest for folks who love the Force…

Here’s The New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

Good afternoon, everyone. Here’s a new trailer for that movie about space.

Nothing Says Japanese Culture Like Star Wars

Every spring in Japan, families with sons set up samurai armor displays so that their boys grow up to be healthy, strong, and understand the true power of the Force. Wait, what? I have three sons, so in preparation for Children’s Day on May 5, we set up this small suit of armor (or “yoroi”…
