Sand People Ride Cute Dogs In Single File, To Hide Their Numbers
$24. That’s all this costs. $24 to turn your “dog” into a Bantha. I say “dog”, because I’m looking at this, and I’m looking at my 18 month-old kid, and I’m reaching for my wallet. For those of a more Imperial persuasion, you can get a similar outfit, only with a Sandtrooper atopa Dewback. [via…

Star Wars is Anticlimactic Without Music
Few scenes in film are as triumphant as the end scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The pageantry! The celebration! The swelling John Williams soundtrack!

You Too Can Be A Young, Crappy Luke Skywalker
Sure, he killed a buncha bad guys later, but Luke Skywalker wasn’t always a badass Jedi.

Did Yoda Fall To The Dark Side?
Why is that cave on Dagobah tainted? And why is Yoda so determined to stop Luke from challenging Vader? Maybe because Yoda had already fallen to the Dark Side: Redditor Kavis offers a creative reimagining: I’ve thought this for a while now. It makes a lot of sense, I think. He warned Qui-gon and Obi…

The Best Card Game I Ever Played ‘Died’ 13 Years Ago

Steampunk Star Wars AT-AT Would Be The Slowest Thing In The Galaxy
Not just the slowest, but the Empire probably couldn’t do anything with it on Hoth in the snow. Markus1984 built this alternate, steamy LEGO version of the AT-AT walker for a building competition and while it might be slow, those gatling guns in front look really badass.

Episode VII Stormtrooper Helmets Are White And Black
The Clone Wars cartoon often felt like just a weekly commercial for a new slightly-different-colored Clone Trooper that could be turned into an action figure. Good for selling some toys in the short term, bad for making a lasting cultural impact. If these images are accurate, Episode VII’s troops will return to the classic stark…

Because I Always Wanted To Be A Star Wars Admiral/Fish Man
I always thought the coolest job in the Star Wars universe was one of the guys/gals/fish aliens in charge of a fleet of enormous starships. So little exertion, so much fun The arrival of the velvet-smooth Grand Admiral Thrawn in the 1990s only cemented this view, yet for all the job’s luster, video games have…
