Ewok “Sex Den” Is An Urban Legend For The Ages

Whether this is true or not, I don’t know. All I know is it could be, and that I want it to be, if only so my mental image of this freaky couple is not itself a lie. The tale, as told on this Reddit post, goes like this. “My friend and neighbor told me…

Robots, Modern Art, Star Wars Collide in Beijing’s Glass Pyramid

By now, with all the press about China, you’ve probably have some idea in your heads that certain Chinese cities are like the real life version of the dystopian cyberpunk worlds of Blade Runner and Star Wars. Sadly, China isn’t all that advanced, but one building in Beijing definitely is. Located on the border between…

Describing The Star Wars Movies…As An MMO

The plot of the original three Star Wars movies is a long and, when you think about it, weird one. It makes a lot more sense when you break the Rebel’s quest down into simpler terms. Like those you’d find in an MMO. Redditor Revolvlover has converted George Lucas’ tale into a single-page epic of…

Lucasarts’ Star Wars Creations Return For X-Wing Tabletop Game

The X-Wing miniatures game is almost the perfect tabletop experience. At least if you like Star Wars and fun things. About the only thing that could make it better would be to start introducing more units based on video game starfighters and oh what’s this? Following on from the game’s homage to Dark Forces, the…

Yup, These Are The Best Star Wars Action Figures On The Planet

The Black Series is the best thing to happen to Star Wars action figures since, well, forever. Even today, over 30 years on from the first toys, Hasbro’s main line of figures sucks. But not these babies. Three new lines have been announced in the series, consisting of eight new figures in all. In 2014…

Days In Toyland: Window-Shopping at Toy Fair 2014

The grand rollout of the coming year’s wares—Toy Fair 2014—happened in New York this weekend, already kicking out news of the next Transformers game earlier today. It’s also a showcase for the new collection of figures, both fully posable and less so. Take a peek inside. Evan Narcisse patrolled Toy Fair 2014 for us, bringing…

The Man Who Designed Star Wars‘ Death Star Finally Answers His Critics

“I have one response to all of you who blame me for the destruction of the Death Star: Are you FUCKING serious???” This hilarious open letter over at Dorkly comes from Dak Exhaustport, the heretofore unnamed joe who drew up the blueprints for the Death Star. And he says that what some saw as a…

Mark Hamill Shows Us His Favorite Star Wars Fan Moments

To tell the truth, the best thing in this clip by Nerdist is not necessarily the fan moments (that Patton Oswalt scene though…), but Mark Hamill himself, who still looks super cool and totally ready to put the robe back on. He’s here to show some of his favorite Star Wars fan moments, all leading…

​If Only The Phantom Menace‘s Galactic Senators Weren’t Incompetent

For all their posturing and pronouncements and cool floating podiums, it sure can be hard to take Star Wars‘ Galactic Senate seriously. The latest video from How It Should Have Ended tackles The Phantom Menace, and scores some fair—if fairly easy—points. Is the horse dead? Yeah, probably. Is it still worth kicking it around from…

Darth Vader, You Can’t Eat Chinese Food with a Mask On

As many of you might already know, Chinese New Year has come and this year, 2014, is the year of the horse. To recognize and greet those who celebrate the event, some companies (and even world leaders) have created video greetings. However, all of those pale in comparison to one that comes from a galaxy…

Real Academy Instructs Students In The Art Of Lightsabers

The Ludosport Lightsaber Combat Academy is a chain (yes, there are multiple schools!) in Italy that teach willing students in the art of lightsaber combat. Or, for those who’ve never dreamed of being a Jedi, in dancing around swinging a glowing toy stick. These guys have some serious skills. Going way beyond just hitting each…

Buffalo Banthas and Oakland Vaders: Helmets of a Star Wars Super Bowl

If the Super Bowl was kicking off on the Death Star and not in New York, it’d be the Tauntauns versus the Wattos today. That’s according to this set of helmets reimagining the NFL inside the Star Wars canon. Every choice is outstanding (St. Louis Twi’leks, for sure) but the most apt has to be…

Damn, This Star Wars LEGO Trailer Is Really Good

Yes, it’s for an iOS game. A toy commercial thinly-veiled as a top-down shooter. But just look at this trailer. It’s amazing. The Dewback cops. The busted-up Falcon. The Harrison Ford/American Graffiti gag. It’s drowning me up to my eyeballs in charm. The game’s out tomorrow, but who cares. Let’s just watch this clip over…

This is Star Wars: Assault Team, coming this spring to Android, iOS and Windows 8 devices. What is it? Not a clue. All we’ve got is this image from the official Star Wars Twitter. I’m thinking free-to-play collectible card game. As long as it’s better than Star Wars: Force Collection I’m game.

Former SNL Star Has Some Killer Star Wars Impressions

Bill Hader has spent a sufficient amount of time as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he can do lots of impressions. But, still, I’m not sure I was prepared for his Jabba. Damn. The actor/comedian appeared on Conan O’Brien’s show last night and Conan just…

This Deal Is Getting Worse All The Time

Cristi Balanescu is a concept artist who has worked for companies like Ubisoft and Fantasy Flight Games. Love his style. The rough stuff always gets to me more than ultra-clean, shiny works. Always feels more alive You can see more of Cristi’s stuff at his CGHub page To see the larger pics in all their…

Perfect Recreations Of Star Wars Film Sets. For Your Action Figures.

These are not official playsets. They’re pieces of art, made by a fan, and are painstakingly-accurate recreations of some of Star Wars’ most iconic movie sets, giving his action figures a “realistic” place to stand. Most are from the original Star Wars, though there are a few from TESB and ROTJ as well. They’re as…
