Master Yoda Snow Globe

The Force is strong inside this Master Yoda Jedi Snow Globe. Yoda is making it snow even though it is summertime hot outside. I like how the manufacturer gives Yoda his proper dues by calling this the “Master Yoda Jedi” snow globe. It’s respect for our elders. And partially fear that Yoda’s going to whip out his lightsaber and jump and flip all around and cut you up to bits for dissing him. He is a Jedi after all.

The Dark Side is Pricey: $18,000 Bronze Darth Vader Statue

Wow! The Star Wars Shop is now selling a limited edition bronze statue of Darth Vader. The Dark Lord weighs in at over 150 lbs and is 4 feet tall. There are just 30 numbered statues in production and for that you will pay-dearly- $18,000 in fact. Lord Vader is modeled after his appearance in Empire Strikes Back and is hand crafted by Lawrence Noble in a studio nearby Lucasfilm’s Presidio campus.

Stormtrooper Mini Snow Globes

The Stormtrooper Snow Globe is so cute. I’m not sure if Star Wars ever officially released snowglobes (and surely you can’t expect me to Google something for research here?!?!) but they would probably not be as awesome as these miniature snow globes. They are tempting me over to the Dark Side. These one ounce jars have a Lego version of the Storm Trooper embedded inside. The white lid goes nicely with the Imperial Stormtrooper uniform too.
Available for $13 at Etsy

Incredible Star Wars Dollar Bill Origami Spaceships

Check out these incredible dollar bill origami creations from Won Park. He packs an amazing amount of spaceship detail into such small works of art. Most are made from just a single dollar bill. The Millenium Falcon is made from 3 bucks. Here’s a two dollar X-Wing fighter.
After the jump- more Star Wars dollar bill creations and a single dollar Starship Enterprise from Star Trek:

Tie Fighter Made from Starbucks Trash

What do you get when you combine 216 Starbucks stirrers, 63 drink holders, 37 grande cups, 12 sample cups, 10 96-oz coffee boxes and 1 tall lid? If you’re crafty and have a bit of glue you’ll make an awesome Star Wars tie-fighter. Dan Winters of Wired created this as part of their “make stuff from Starbucks junk” contest. Well done, Dan, well done.

Death Star Pumpkin is the Ultimate Halloween Pumpkin

We all should just pack up our carving knives and go home now… is anything really going to beat a Death Star carved pumpkin? The ideal jack-o-lantern for your Star Wars Halloween party or for your MIT dorm room. Some people see a round gourd and say “I’m going to carve a scary face”, while others are just pure geek genius with a vision. A vision of awesomeness.

Lego Boba Fett Costume is a Triumph in Brickgineering

It would be one thing to make a Boba Fett Halloween costume from standard materials like cloth or cardboard or whatever or to buy one from your local costume shop. But it’s an entirely different (and better) thing to make a costume of the legendary bounty hunter out of Legos. Yes, a wearable Star Wars costume out of Legos- helmet, backpack and all. Seriously, let’s just crown the guy who made this the king of all geeks and move along because there is no geekier Halloween costume. It’s his world today, we’re all just living in it.

R2D2 Lego Fig USB Flash Drive

This is a sort of homemade hack of an R2D2 Lego figurine, converted into a 4 GB USB flash drive. The seller says it’s just a prototype and it does look a bit rough around the edges but it’s still pretty neat. Although for $49.95, I’m not so sure about it.

Darth Vader Corset Tempts Me to go to the Dark Side

The Dark Side has never looked so sexy! It’s a Darth Vader corset. Besides the fantastic Star Wars Lord Vader mask print which looks to be from Revenge of the Sith, it has an alternating flames print fabric and it topped with a pair of polka dot ribbon bows (to show the softer side of the Force). A Star Wars corset with flames…wow.
The back has silver metal grommets so it can be laced up tight. The seller describes it as “FULLY boned for support.” Not fully boned yet, if you know what I mean! Zing! Tutu skirt not included.

R2D2 Tissue Holder is an Insult to a True Hero of the Universe

What an indignity! Our poor R2D2 has been converted into a tissue holder. Artoo, the heroic astromech droid, the one who continually saves people from the hand of death and the world from evil. Where would Luke be without R2? Nowhere. Who’s the one who fixed the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive allowing our hero to escape from the evil Empire? R2D2 that’s who. And now he’s been made into a tissue holder of all things? Oh the humanity!!

Darth Vader Pen Holder

This makes up for the indignity of the R2D2 tissue holder. Turning the evil Lord Vader into a wimpy desktop appliance serving a purpose no better than an empty coffee cup. That’s how we do it in the Rebel Alliance. The pen holder includes Vader sound effect, so you can hear Darth Vader’s breath when you take a pencil out. Don’t worry, he’s harmless now that he’s under Rebel control. You pens however, might have a slight stench of evil on them. My how the mighty have fallen.

Han Solo in Carbonite USB Flash Drive

There’s nothing cute or funny about being frozen for eternity in carbonite….unless you’re a USB flash drive. Then you’re totally adorable. Especially since we all know that Han Solo eventually escapes from the carbonite (woops hope I didn’t ruin the movie for ya! spoiler alert!). But not with this USB flash drive; the only thing escaping will be your data. Maybe that’s a bad analogy for a flash drive; your data will be frozen tight like an action hero locked in carbonite. Better. Holds 1GB of data.

Darth Vader Santa Bobblehead

I sense something. A presence I’ve not felt since…last Christmas. If there’s one person who you wouldn’t really expect to get into the holiday spirit, it would be Darth Vader. But when you make someone into a bobblehead, standard thinking goes out the window in the name of cuteness. This limited edition (of 2000) Star Wars bobblehead will bring holiday cheer to all the little boys and girls of the Empire. Darth Claus will bobble his way into your heart.

Star Wars 3D Pop Up Book

Pop-up books are awesome. Star Wars is awesome. Those are unarguable facts. So what happens when you combine two awesome things? You get Reeces Peanut Butter Cups. Or Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy.
Much like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, the combo of pop-up and Star Wars is irresistible. Designed by paper engineer Matthew Reinhart, there are 37 pop-ups from all three movies in the original Star Wars trilogy contained within the 3D Star Wars: A Pop-UP Guide to the Galaxy book of awesomness. Take a look at this “making of” video with Reinhart with some peeks inside the book:
This is a must-have book for all Star Wars fans both hardcore and casual. It would also make a great stocking stuffer or Christmas/holiday/birthday gift. Awesome.

Coolest Sled Ever: Star Wars Millenium Falcon Sled

Hands down this is the coolest sled ever made: the Star Wars Millenium Falcon Sled. When you come down the hill in the Falcon, all eyes will be on you. This makes all those little round red plastic piece of junk sleds look like little round red plastic pieces of junk. Bask in the coolness of having the most awesome sled on the block. It’s a one person sled, so you’ll have to ride it (Han) Solo, no Wookie copilot. It has hand levers to control the speed and direction plus it has the ability to make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

Star Wars Golf Head Covers: May the Fore! be with You

Swing or swing not, there is no try. The Star Wars Golf Head Coversare available in three adorably fuzzy versions: Yoda, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca. Embrace the Dark Side with the Lord Vader head cover or get some advice from the wise Yoda on which club is best (Luke, use the four iron). Just a word of advice if you’re using the Chewy ones: let the Wookie win. All three will fit woods up to 460cc in size and would make a fantastic gift for the Star Wars golf lover.

Darth Vader Christmas Stocking with Sound

Is there anything scarier than hearing the menacing heavy breathing sounds of Darth Vader coming out of your Christmas stocking, that you hung with care, while visions of the Sith Lord dance through the air? Star Wars Darth Vader Molded Plastic Head Christmas Stocking with Sound let’s you know right away whether you’ve been naughty or nice (most likely naughty!). Stocking measures 21 inches of awesome.

Light Saber Umbrellas Help You Battle the Force of Nature

When you’re out battling mother nature, you’re going to need a little help. Sure you could use a standard plain black umbrella with a metal pole but is that really going to keep up your geek cred? Powered by an LED light in the pole, these $40 umbrellas will keep you dry and keep the Force strong. Or at the very least provide you with some solid reading light when you’re out in the dark in the rain.

The Force is Not that Strong in these Star Wars Misters

Get it? The Forces is not that strong? Because they’re misters… the force of the water is less than say a hose. Arrgh. Anyway, while I will say that these are the coolest misters ever created, I will, like ohgizmo does, question the wisdom of creating such a banal product that bears the hallowed Star Wars name and imagery. You’ve taken the greatest movie villain of all time and turned him into a water mister with a fan. Also available in Yoda and Boba Fett. The Yoda one looks creepy for some reason.
