R2-D2 and C-3PO Wedding Bands: Do You Take This Droid?

Posted on 14/10/2014 by Conner Flynn

Check out these R2-D2 and C-3PO wedding bands designed by jeweler Juan Hidalgo. Or as I like the call them, lifetime restraining bolts. If you belong together like these two droids, these rings are perfect for you.

Everyone loves R2-D2, but I can’t imagine anyone wanting to wear the C-3PO ring. I would rather have R5-D4 in this set, who matches up with R2 much better.

C-3PO is just annoying. He’s a real mother hen. Always nagging. He talks and talks and talks, never let’s you have any fun- Forget what I said. Guys, this is the perfect ring for your wife, while you wear R2-D2.

Star Wars Clothes Hangers: Your Lack of Closet Space is Disturbing

Posted on 30/04/2014 by Paul Strauss

If you’re always leaving your clothes lying around, you really need to clean up your act and start hanging them up. And what better way to hang your best duds but with these Star Wars character clothes hangers?

Now Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper, Yoda and C-3PO will help keep your finest wearables up off the floor, while modeling them for you. Each hanger is made from sturdy MDF plywood with a metal hanging hook, which is also the way that Stormtroopers hang up their armor when they’re done battling Rebels for the day.

So use the force to translate RunaTown into a language you understand, and buy the Star Wars clothing hangers for ¥3,240 (~$32 USD) each. Yoda in tie-dye is just wrong.

C-3PO Electric Guitar Made from Action Figure Case

Posted on 04/04/2014 by Conner Flynn

Poor 3PO. He was never as popular as R2 and he never will be. At least someone thought enough of the prissy protocol droid to make an electric guitar out of his action figure collectors case.

Everyone knows the Darth Vader collector’s case, but not as many people had the C-3PO version because, well because no one seems to like him. Though his action figure case makes a great body for an electric guitar once you ad a neck and strings. The case still opens up and it even talks. C-3PO says three different phrases. That’s a little disappointing since he’s supposed to be fluent in over six million forms of communication.

This protocol guitar measures 41″ tall X 15″wide and is 5″ thick. It was made by Etsy artist RainyDayInstruments and will cost you $465(USD).

Star Wars Gets the Street Art Treatment

Posted on 16/03/2014 by Paul Strauss

Animated character designer Phil Postma created this series of imaginary Star Wars action figures cards after he saw an image of an R2-D2 action figure that looked like a tiny spray can.

I love the graffiti art style of the images, and think it would be awesome if they actually made a Star Wars animated series with this look.

I’d also like Phil to come to my neighborhood and spray this on one of the buildings:

Be sure to head over to Phil’s blog to check out more images from his Star Wars street art series – and lots of other awesome art.

Amazing Star Wars Papercraft Toys: Use the Glue, Luke

Posted on 19/02/2014 by Conner Flynn

Man, these Star Wars papercraft toys look amazing. And the whole gang is here. Every character that you care about anyway. They were created by Seoul, Korea-based MOMOT who no doubt uses The Force to fold paper.

In fact MOMOT makes all kinds of cool and boxy papercraft toys, which can be found at their international online store. The Star Wars toys are $25(USD) each. Pricey, but these toys are unique. It looks like they only have a few of the characters up right now.

For being made of paper, these toys really have attitude. Go buy some. Display them on your desk and play when you should be working.

And be sure to check out the clever videos below which show off a little bit of the story behind each character:

R2-D2 and C-3PO Best Friends Necklace

Posted on 23/08/2013 by Conner Flynn

R2-D2 and C-3PO are obviously best friends in that classic Odd Couple sense. R2 is a take charge kind of droid, while 3PO complains endlessly is is super prissy. If they were roommates, 3PO would be the neat freak. So, I guess it makes sense for them to have a best friends necklace to share.

This one from Etsy shop rapscalliondesign is perfect. Each droid can wear one half of the heart whenever they are apart and then presumably assemble it and hang it on the wall when they are together.

Stupid little short-circuit, R2. To which R2 will reply bleep bleep bleepity bleep blop blip – wWhich we all know means go jump in a sarlacc pit, but 3PO will take it as endearing anyhow.

Official Star Wars iPhone 5 Cases: Episode II

Posted on 11/04/2013 by Lambert Varias

PowerA’s officially licensed Star Wars iPhone 4/4S cases must have been a blockbuster, because this year the company is striking back with iPhone 5 variants of the cases.

All previous designs remain unchanged. You can still join the Dark Side of iPhone cases with the Darth Vader case, give your phone a shiny metal ass with the C-3PO case, turn your iPhone into a Droid with the R2-D2 case and have a huggable device with the Chewbacca case.

You can order the cases from Firebox for £20 (~$31 USD) or directly from PowerA for $35. Yes, that means the Chewie case is the best deal, what with all that awesome fur.

The C3POscar Actually Exists: And the Jedi Academy Award Goes to…

Posted on 06/03/2013 by Lambert Varias

When I first saw this illustration made by Rodrigo Ferreira I wondered why no one ever thought of it before. It turns out someone at LucasFilm did put two and two together, because the company actually gives away C3POscar trophies. How awesome is that Rodrigo?

Filmmaker Brad Bird – the man who helmed The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, among other things – tweeted the above picture on Mar 1, 2013. This is one droid that LucasFilm employees are looking for; Bird said that the C3POscar is only given to those who have served the company for 20 years. The one in Bird’s picture belongs to a LucasFilm veteran named Paul Matwiy.

C-3PO Dress: Be a Droid out on the Town

Posted on 01/03/2013 by Range

There are a number of Star Wars-themed outfits out there that look pretty good - but most of them are clearly for cosplay. But you could probably wear this Star Wars dress out to a club or bar, which is one of the reasons why I think it works really well.

The C-3PO-inspired dress looks darn good, and even though C-3PO has been underrepresented in fashion, this dress makes looking like a protocol droid quite fashionable. I can already see these working not just at Halloween parties, but in everyday life, which is a bonus. Who wouldn’t want to dress up as a Star Wars character every day that they could?

The Gold Metal Man Dress is available from GeekyU’s Etsy store for $199.99(USD). If that’s not for you, then they’ve got other apparel that you might be interested in, including the slightly more obvious Artuito Dress shown in the first picture above.
