Last Saturday night, almost 1,000 Star Wars fans gathered at New York City’s Washington Square Park for a Lightsaber battle royale. We’ve got pics and video of all the action.

The BT Tower in London, England was transformed for one night only last week into a giant, 581-foot-high lightsaber. But why?
Scifi Ikea Manuals
Posted on May 10, 2011 Written by Leave a Comment
I’m just nuts over these Ikea manuals. They’re not real of course, but anyone who’s ever put together a piece of Ikea furniture will recognize the smiling, line-drawn character, the list of materials needed to build, and the wordless, step-by-step instructions. With tongue firmly in cheek, CollegeHumor put together these Ikea manual parodies of famous [...]
Badminton Jedi. Finally badminton made cool
Posted on March 26, 2011 Written by 3 Comments
Let’s face it, badminton isn’t a sport one would describe as, “cool.” The racquets are small, the projectile players hit is known as a “shuttlecock,” and if a sport is one both children and the elderly can excel at equally one has all the ingredients for a sport played by dorks. Or is it?

If there’s one thing about Star Wars any fan would love to master, it’s the way of the Jedi. Certainly lightsaber techniques would be an amazing skill to acquire, but Jedi mind tricks? No comparison.
Watch Lightsabers Go On & Off

In 2.5 minutes, here is every single time a lightsaber is ignited and retracted in all six Star Wars movies. The video’s maker says that he only included visual, on-screen actions, and not the times when you merely hear a lightsaber being turned on or off, off-screen. I’m not sure what the point of the [...]

Yesterday evening I received an email like at least 10 others every day. The subject was Love the site! and of course we are pleased whenever we get a similarly titled email but usually… they are bait and the email sender wants something from you whenever the subject is a highly emotional expression of love.

I’m always looking for cool things for my house. See, as an adult male this pains me to say this, but I’m just gonna go ahead and do it. I watch MTV’s Teen Cribs. I know, that’s retarded. But these kids have crazy houses with crazy stuff in them, and I like to see what [...]
Open Books Quicker With Lightsaber Bookends

Say what you will about Episodes I-III of the Star Wars series, one thing they did very well was the lightsabers. Right off the bat they were slicing through doors, turning robots into victims of a laser-formed ginsu knife, and let’s not even get started about Darth Maul’s double-sided piece of awesome. It was one [...]

Ever wander down the aisles at Barnes & Noble and wonder who draws the covers for all of those Star Wars books? Turns out Joe Corroney does. I could blather on, but just read the credits from his bio: Joe Corroney has been providing Lucasfilm with official Star Wars artwork for books, games, trading cards, comic [...]
