Fellow Star Wars nerds, feast your eyes upon the AT-AT Walker Boombox.  I have no idea if this thing has an input for an MP3 player, but does it really matter!??!

The H-Wing Carfighter. Pure coolness.

January 5, 2009

A very creative, and devoted, Star Wars fan modified his Honda Del Sol to look like an A-Wing fighter from Return of the Jedi.  According to his webpage, he bought the Honda specifically for the project, at a cost of $7,000 and has only put in about $1,000 in modifications.  Very nice work.

Check out the specs. and history of the design at the official website of the H-Wing Carfighter

Thanks to Abe, who hopes to buy this vehicle for his wife’s next birthday.  Whoops…cat’s out of the bag.

The UK’s first Jedi course teaching personal development through a Star Wars syllabus will open to students at Queen’s University in Belfast from November.
