Star Wars Meets Indiana Jones In Weird, Yet Fun Live Mashup Performance

How do you make Indiana Jones fans and Star Wars fans sit down together to watch their favorite movies simultaneously? You create a live action show that mashes the two together based off fan fiction. The show happened at Disneylands “Star Tours” attraction and follows a fan made collaboration of both Indiana and the Star Wars cast. Here’s the official Synopsis from YouTube: This is the Full Show Best Version utilizing three different cameras. A special Last Tour to Endor event was held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios during Star Wars Celebration V. In “Raiders of the Lost Jedi Temple of Doom – A Fan Film of Epic Proportions”, a writer Read more »

May The Force Be With…Your Umbrella?

Okay so here’s the deal, the force can’t protect you from the rain, I know someone can probably argue that my statement isn’t completely true, but let’s just pretend. So what do you need if your a Jedi Master or Jedi in training and want to stay dry in a downpour? How about the Star Wars Lightsaber Umbrella! For only $20 you can have your very own umbrella that extends out of a lightsaber that actually lights up! Current only blue and white lightsaber options appear to be available at Dillyeo, but given the novelty of the item that should make most Star Wars fans happy. What do you think? Read more »

If Chewie & Han were Calvin & Hobbes…

Man, I miss Calvin & Hobbes. I actually wrote a college paper on the themes and motifs of that daily comic strip, and it got fairly deep. Earned me an A+. But I digress. Found this awesome mashup — which recreates Bill Watterson’s art style with absolute perfection — over at 9gag. It manages to be cute, rebellious, and clever all at once. It’s a t-shirt design drawn by professional illustrator Chris Wahl. The shirt will run you about $22. Read more »

LEGO Toy Wars

We’ve seen the works of Pixar Animation Studios mixed with Star Wars before, but never in LEGO. Flickr user okayaraman has brilliantly fused his LEGO Toy Story minifig heads with his LEGO Star Wars minifig bodies together to create hilarious Toy Story-infused Star Wars characters. His efforts have resulted in mashup minifigure characters sure to make you laugh. My favorites: the “little green man” alien standing in for Yoda, Lots o’ Huggin’ Bear as Chewbacca, and Stinky Pete as Obi-Wan Kenobi. See close-ups of them all here. Read more »

'Star Wars Uncut' Launches. Hint: It's The Strangest Fan Made Movie Remake Ever!

Star Wars Uncut is the culmination of work completed by hundreds of nerdy film-making Star Wars Fans. The premises is simple, assign 15-second sections of Star Wars to the ultimate Star Wars fans and have them recreate those scenes from the original series using their Twitter accounts, animation, action figures, live action film-making and pretty much any other means they deem suitable. The outcome of this project is a weird mixture of eclectic movie making styles fueled by many creative touches and in many cases the need to work on the smallest budgets possible, even  if those budgets only require contributing 15 seconds of footage.

Lucasfilm R2-D2 iPhone Case Coming Soon

My wife and I are huge fans of Star Wars. Anytime the movies are replayed on Spike, we all tune in and lose a few hours in the force. I personally don’t hate the first three (I-III) as much as most people, even though they are difficult to follow at times, so I’ll watch them all. One of my favorite characters is the fun little droid, R2-D2. Read more »

Disney Star Tours Promo Video: Hint, It Doesn't Promote Anything

We’ve known for a while now that Disney will be debuting their new Star Wars attraction Star Tours sometime in 2011 and Disney representatives have said that it would be set between the two Star Wars trilogies, what we didn’t know was exactly what it would entail, now with a new promo trailer, we’re more confused than ever. In the trailer promo they say we’ll be taken away to the magical lands of Alderaan, Bespin and Endor, which sounds awesome, except for one teeny tiny fact, on Disney’s blog they specifically state that those destinations may not be included. Here’s Disney’s official statement: “We cannot confirm that you will travel Read more »

Luke and Leia Hook-Up [Disturbing/Funny Cartoon]

Obi-Won and Yoda really should have let Luke and Leia know that they were brother and sister sooner then they did. In this spoof of the Star Wars Trilogy, Leia falls for Luke, they have sex and eventually have have a hideous looking in-bred child. So much for the force protecting them against the powers of evil! Take a look at the cartoon below titled “Gree-Morr: The Inbred Jedi”, produced by a YouTube user who cleverly goes by the name “theinbredjedi” Read more »
