Someone Made Darth Maul in Dark Souls II

The Sith Lord from The Phantom Menace sure seems like he’d be right at home in Drangelic, right? From Software’s punishing sequel to Dark Souls features actor Peter Serafinowicz voicing the role of treasure hunter Mild-Mannered Pate. Back in 1999—damn that’s a long time ago!—Serafinowicz was the voice of demonic-looking Darth Maul. So, of course,…

The Dark Side always did have the best outfits. Photographer Kamil Krawczak got together with Ireland’s Emerald Garrison the other day to take these stunning images. The Asajj Ventress is Annas Black, whose husband Paul helped out on the costume. If Darth Malgus looks familiar, meanwhile, that’s because it’s Julian Checkley There are some good…

Star Wars Podracer from Kerbal Space Program Can Actually Fly

Anakin’s podracer doesn’t hold a candle to this one. No sir. Redditor m1sz created an actual, working podracer in spacecraft-building simulator Kerbal Space Program, and even made a video of the podracer in flight. Well, not just that—like any good Kerbal Space Program footage, it starts with a prototype crashing. And ends with a prototype…

Galactic Strongholds Adds Player Housing To The Old Republic In June

Teased earlier this month, Galactic Strongholds is the next major free expansion pack for Star Wars: The Old Republic, allowing players of the MMORPG to set up swanky digs across the galaxy. Every massively multiplayer online role-playing game needs player housing, if only to keep players from having cybersex in public (sorry, EverQuest players on…

Japanese Star Wars Book Covers are Awesome

I love me some Star Wars—so much so that I have read every single post-A New Hope book that has come out (and more than a few of the comics, too). A lot of the novels have come out in Japan as well, but with one major improvement: the awesome covers. American Star Wars book…

For $25, Your Toilet Can Become A Sarlacc Pit

Thankfully, your toilet does not take 1000 years to digest whatever falls into it. Artist Robbie Rane designed these decals to fit inside your toilet bowl, adding row upon row of teeth, its gross tongue/tentacle things, a falling Boba, a struggling Han & Lando and even Jabba’s skiff. You can preorder the decals here (via…

Terrible Star Wars LEGO Prank Is A Crime Against Friendship

So, last week Michael put together the official LEGO Milennium Falcon. At over 1200 pieces, it took him all day. Naturally, the second he left the model alone, his friends arrived to take it apart again in the worst way possible. See, they don’t drop it. Or break it. While a problem, that can be…

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…

Star Wars art doesn’t get any more religious than this. Hero-Glyphs is a series by artist Josh Ln, transforming well-known superheroes and other pop culture icons into hieroglyphs. His latest pieces feature Star Wars, Ghostbusters and (surprise, surprise) Firefly: Hero Glyphs by Josh Lane [Society6] Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing…

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…

Conan O’Brien’s Biggest Blunder: Mispronouncing Admiral Ackbar

If you’ve ever wondered how to pronounce Admiral Ackbar’s name properly, here’s a fan giving a hard-boiled lecture to Conan, who accidentally mispronounced it. This is serious Star Wars business.

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…
