A very funny Lego skit set to the comedic material of Eddie Izzard discussing what the Death Star’s canteen, or cafeteria, would look like. NSFW language.
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.
According to its publicity material, the course, Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way, teaches the real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks.
It also claims to examine the wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism.
The university says it hopes to attract young Star Wars fans and introduce them to education through open learning.
No prior qualifications are required and the blurb informs students that light sabres are not provided.
All of those designs above can be put on assorted paraphernalia: tshirts, mugs, etc. Me personally…..I’m voting for Vader if, for nothing else, you know he’ll stick to his guns…saber…whatever. Point is, if the man says he’ll crush the opposition’s throats, you know he’s being quite literal, public opinion polls be damned. Statesmen of principle are a rare thing these days.
Thanks to Geekologie for running this story. Order some of the above designs on your product of choice at Star Wars Election ’08.
