Randomness: Star Wars Abomination

George Lucas must be rolling over in his grave:



This insane cuteness is about to drive me over the edge.

Monday Misc.: Star Wars Art

We all know that Star Wars is the epitome of art. Now, it's the epitome of Fine Art thanks to this fine fellow:

Wednesday Reminisce: Speeder Biker Club

Even with those ever so cute and cuddly Ewoks, Return of the Jedi had one of the greatest chase scenes in history: Speederbikes through Endor.



Sure I felt a little woozy in my stomach watching this on the big screen. And, yes, I regretted eating all that red licorice and pop corn. But, dang, this scene blew my young mind. But, then, I almost had a coronary when I came across this while perusing the shelves of my local toy store:



Whoa. You mean I can treat my living room like the Wookie's home planet? AND if I push the right button my speeder bike will blow up? How can I not purchase this?



And, let's admit it, the Biker Scout was one of the coolest Storm Troopers ever!!



Alas, with constantly blowing up my Speeder Bike, it finally fell apart. But fortunately George Lucas has never met a dollar he didn't like. And in 1997, I was reunited with a Speeder Bike COMPLETE with Biker Scout. Life was indeed good.





And if only life could truly be like this:

Cheap Thrills

The Undiscovered Playthings Blog

This blog is window shopping for us true nerds. And I give you Exhibit A:

It's Star Knight!!




I like to imagine that at some point after Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader came back to life. Ruing his past evils, Darth dedicates his life to nothing but law and order. Thus, he joins the cast of CHiPs and tracks down speeders on the 101.



I'm really not too sure what IC SOUND is, but it's gotta be something amazing or Darth Vader wouldn't endorse it.

You've got to check out the Undiscovered Playthings Blog. It's chock full of those bootleg toys that you never knew existed. Toys you shouldn't own, but, doggone it, you just gotta have.

Legoland Sniper

Who better to strike terror in the hears of Legoland residents than the Custom Starwars Elite Camo Sniper Clone.



This little guy hides quietly in the plastic bushes stalking his miniature prey. Pirates. Policemen. Pilots. Spacemen. None can stop him. Well, no one but this guy:

Oh Boxing Day

So, now that Christmas is gone for another year, I thought I'd turn my allegiance to England. You see, they have this holiday today called boxing day. I think it has to do with worshipping shipping containers or something.

Anyway, here's my ode to the box:









God bless us everyone.

Our Jedi Who Art in Heaven...

If this isn't the most nerdworthy story EVER!!

HOLYHEAD, Wales -- A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones -- aka Master Jonba Hehol -- with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates' Court.
He also whacked Jones' 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones -- known as Master
Mormi Hehol -- bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said.

Do we really want to live in a world where two Jedi can't worship in peace without the Sith Lord coming around and messing it all up with his evil darkness? I say, no.
