Star Wars is celebrating its 35th birthday this year, so just for fun, ForeverGeek has re-cast Episode IV: A New Hope as if it was being made today. What modern actors would be the most interesting choices for iconic roles like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo? Our choices may surprise you.

If R2-D2 and C-3PO were born in an alternate universe — you know, one where the punks are all steamy — they might look something like this.
I Want a Giant LEGO R2-D2 In My Town

Ad agency Access wants to put a LEGO Minifigure atop the Arc de Triomphe. Or a life-sized Darth Vader holding his lightsaber as the entrance gate to your local parking garage. Seeing LEGO as a “a brand that can get away with in-your-face stunts” because there’s so much goodwill for it from the general public. [...]

In a new TV spot for UK electronics store Currys/PC World, R2-D2 and C-3P0 get confused when they visit the modern day location and encounter strange new gadgets.

Brian De Vitis is a freaking genius. A mechanical engineering grad student from UCLA, he built this fully-functional R2-D2 replica that’s so much more than an R2-D2 replica. Hidden within its innards are ten game consoles. Yes, I said ten. There’s an NES, Super NES, N64, GameCube, PS2, PSP, Sega Genesis (which, of course, is [...]

This is flipping brilliant. Perhaps inspired by the just-released Toy Story 3 (haven’t seen it yet, don’t spoil it for me) an artist going by the moniker “Sillof” has mashed up Star Wars with Pixar‘s library of characters. And the result, as I said before, is pure brilliance. What’s most surprising about these mixed characters is [...]

You are looking at one of the coolest college campus pranks of all time. And it just happened yesterday. Some unidentified students at Carlton College in Minnesota engaged in an end-of-the-school-year prank, dressing up the college’s Goodsell Observatory to look like the biggest R2-D2 ever. Fear not — nothing has been defaced. Look closely at [...]

We’ll happily report anything Star Wars related at Forever Geek, but when it’s been R2-D2 related we’ve been restricted to themed pepper mills, cameras and desktop trash cans. Thankfully that’s about to change, with news that a faithful 1:6 replica of R2:D2 is due to be available in June 2010 — that’s just five-and-a-bit months [...]
