Red Five

I love the portrait of Vader made from letters, and I love that it was inspired by, "Darth Vader, only you could be so bold." Hee.

I thought this was really cool:

I think my favorite is the one of the dewbacks in the snowy parking garage.

Sideshow Collectibles, Inc. - Star Wars / R2-D2 Life-Size Figure

It would also be cool to have C-3PO, but now we're talking $10K, and that's just too much. :)

Check out this sweet present that Nadine surprised me with! Now, I just need to figure out what to put in it. It's too small for all my figures. :)

Tip from Nadine:

30 Years of Lucasfilm Christmas Cards

My favorite one actually wasn't holiday card, but rather a change-of-address card:

Heads Up: One of the tattoos (near the bottom of the page) is probably NSFW.

I found this amazing:

(From shirt #4 at Vote for the 2008 Hyperspace Shirt Design at starwars.com.)

I wonder how many permutations the author had to try to get it right. I wonder if they used Excel or some other kind of program, or if there is some advanced mathematic technique that allows you to provide a list of static inputs and a final answer, and derive a suitable equation from it.

Impressive. Most impressive.

(If you're not as obsessed as I am, and thus you're not seeing why I find this cool, view the final answer as a date, rather than a number.)

I'm glad somebody took my advice.

Here are the results of the X-Wing launch I blogged about earlier:

Ouch. Somebody with digital video talent should overlay a TIE Fighter onto this video, so it's not so embarassing.

Rocket-Powered X-Wing, with R2-D2

It can even "lock s-foils in attack position." Amazing.

Here are some more details on how it was constructed.

Awesome! I have no idea what it is, but I like it.

Somebody edited together the "top ten" sounds of Star Wars. I think the top of the list is pretty good, but I'm not so sure that Wat Tambor and Poggle the Lesser really deserve to be on it. IMO, any of these are cooler than those two entries:

• Jawas, specifically "Utinni!"
• Wookiees
• Blast Doors

This has to be one of the weirdest things I have ever seen.

I love the shot where Luke's X-Wing is being targeted by Vader's TIE Fighter.

This is just awesome:

Check out the official site for this gadget, or visit rebelscum.com for a more detailed explanation (including video).

$2500 is pretty expensive, but I'm pleased to see that we continue to get closer and closer to fully-functional astromech droids right here in our own galaxy.
