Boba Fett Wristwatch: It’s Time to Defrost Solo

Posted on 10/07/2014 by Paul Strauss

If there’s one thing we never saw anyone in the Star Wars movies doing, it was checking their wrist for the time. That’s so unrealistic. It’s not like they had smartphones with clocks on them either. For instance, how did Boba Fett know what time to meet Jabba to deliver Han Solo? Clearly he should have had a watch so he could get there on time.

Can you imagine what Jabba the Hutt would do to you if you showed up late to a meeting? He’d at least slobber all over you. Fortunately for you, this Boba Fett wristwatch is readily available, and will ensure you’re always on time to the sand barge.

So fire up your backpack jets and head over to ThinkGeek, where you can grab this timepiece for just $29.99(USD).

Ewok Tea Bag Tidy: It’s Tea-wok Time!

Posted on 12/06/2014 by Conner Flynn

The next time you have tea, you can set the tea bag on this Tea-Wok tidy, so you don’t make a mess. It also makes a good spoon rest. This is great if you are working on an Ewok themed kitchen, complete with fire pit and roasting spit.

If that is your idea of fun, tea parties must be a real treat at your place. Two humans dressed as Ewoks, sitting across the table from each other, sipping tea and poking each other with sticks. Hey, I’m not judging. Jub-jub all you want, my furry friends.

This cool tea trivet is only £6 (~$10 USD) from Etsy seller Gallonsofink.

Han Solo in Carbonite Rug: Ford under Foot

Posted on 14/04/2014 by Conner Flynn

This Han Solo frozen in carbonite rug is perfect for hiding that trap door to your Rancor pit and it will match the real Han frozen on your wall. It really ties the room together.

You don’t have a frozen Han on the wall? Well, you can hang this rug as a tapestry too and pretend that you do. What Star Wars fan wouldn’t want a rug of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite? Well, I guess Han wouldn’t want one.

The rug comes in small which measures 31-1/2″(W) x 71-1/2″(H) or large which is 39″(W) x 90 1/2″(H).

It is made from 100% polyester/0% carbonite, and in stock right now from ThinkGeek for $49.99 to $69.99(USD).

Han Solo Carbonite Necklace is Truly Heroic

Posted on 12/10/2013 by Paul Strauss

Jewelry designer Paul Bierker of Paul Michael Jewelry is a busy man. When he’s not designing Boba Fett, Zelda Tri-Force or R2-D2 rings, he’s making pendants that look like Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

This pendant is handmade from sterling silver, and features our favorite scruffy-looking nerf-herder, frozen peacefully in semi-eternal sleep. At least until Boushh shows up. The pendant even has detailed structures on the sides and back to complete the look.

The pendant sells for $110 to $145(USD) over on Etsy, depending on the length of chain you want it on. One minor detail Paul forgot to post is exactly how large it is, but I’m assuming that it’s not too big judging by the size of the loop it’s hanging from.

So if you’re looking for the perfect gift for your very own Princess Leia, grab one of these today.

Power Wheels Star Wars Speeder Bike: Awesomendor!

Posted on 22/09/2013 by Conner Flynn

I don’t know about you, but I have always wanted to have my own Speeder Bike from the Endor forest in Return of the Jedi. I never thought to make one using Power Wheels. Well, Instructables member miketherdaintx has done just that. He has built a 74-Z speeder bike using a Power Wheels toy car.

It may not go very fast, but it looks pretty awesome. Any kid would love this. If you want to build one for yourself, you can check out all of the photos and instructions at the link above.

Too bad an adult would totally destroy this. That wouldn’t keep me from riding it through. It just would be the slowest Speeder chase ever.

LEGO Releasing Ewok Village Set: LEG-ENDOR-Y

Posted on 03/06/2013 by Conner Flynn

Ewoks. They aren’t quite Jar Jar but…Well, love them or hate them, they know how to deal with Imperials on their forest moon.

Ewok Hat: Yub Nub for Your Noggin

Posted on 02/06/2013 by Paul Strauss

These days, most of us think of the Ewoks as cute and endearing little fellows, but I remember when Return of the Jedi came out, there was an uproar over the addition of these furry creatures to the Star Wars universe. In fact, I’ve long held the theory that George Lucas introduced Jar-Jar Binks so we would forget all about the Ewoks.

But if you’re on Team Ewok, here’s something you might want to buy to show your support.

This Ewok hat was created by textile artist Mary Gauvin, and is perfect for camouflaging your Jedi younglings when they first land on Endor to help destroy any newly-erected Imperial shield generators. As a bonus, it’ll also keep their heads warm on Hoth. It’s also the perfect gift if you’re best friends with Warwick Davis.

Hop on your speeder bike and fly through the forest to Etsy if you want one.

Amazing Star Wars Art Records: The Empire Got its Grooves Back

Posted on 28/05/2013 by Conner Flynn

When I was growing up, I must have listened to my Return of the Jedi album hundreds of times. And if I had dared to paint all over it my dad would have been pissed. Now that I have seen this awesome painted record and am no longer a child, (okay, that is debatable) I might just paint on mine too.

This Return of the Jedi painted montage is just awesome. It features Admiral Ackbar, the Rancor, an Ewok and Salacious Crumb – all painted on vinyl. This is the work of CyclopticSpider with and was done with watercolor paints of all things. I would think watercolors would be hard to use with all of the grooves, but somehow he pulled it off. He also did Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back versions, in case Ewoks aren’t your thing.

Sarlacc Pit Bundt Cake Devours Everything in Sight

Posted on 26/10/2012 by Conner Flynn

Poor Boba Fett. He came to a pretty lame end by falling into the Sarlacc pit. His jetpack didn’t even help him. Well, if you love that classic Return of the Jedi scene, you can recreate it by making your very own Sarlacc Bundt cake.

Jenny Landa’s sarlacc pit cake awesome because it is easy to make and looks realistic. This sarlacc is made from a split chocolate-covered stawberry, chocolate-gummy worms, and almonds. Just bake the cake, blend up some ginger snap cookies for the Tatooine sand, insert your almonds for teeth and put in your chocolate covered gummy worms for tentacles.

It looks delicious. Better to eat it than fall in and have it eat you.
