Life-sized Darth Vader Cake: Use the Forks, Luke!

This life-sized Darth Vader cake could feed an entire Death Star or a whole village of ewoks on Endor. Heck, it could probably satisfly that huge asteroid worm that tried to eat the Millennium Falcon. It stands six feet, seven inches tall and looks both evil and delicious.

This huge and impressive cake showed up at the recent Star Wars Celebration VI in Florida. 600 people attended the 501st Legion banquet in Orlando and got to enjoy this tasty treat. It weighed 500-pounds before they dug into it. Now that weight is evenly distributed to so many nerd thighs and hips.

It took baker Amanda Oakleaf and her crew (who also made the popular edible stormtrooper) 386 eggs, 57 pounds of butter, 46 pounds of sugar, 210 pounds of marshmallow fondant and a lot of Star Wars love. Luke, I am your dessert!

501st Legion Builds a Life-sized Rancor Monster, Malakili Cries

Posted in: Today's Chili

There are a lot of huge monsters that I would like to meet in real life, just because they are cool, but the Rancor from Return of the Jedi is not one of them. The Rancor will tear you limb from limb and pick the meat out of it’s teeth with your bones. Still, this life-sized Rancor statue is looking pretty bad-ass.

This beast is Roxy the Rancor, a sculpture by the 501st Legion. If you like to poop yourself, it will be unveiled at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration at the end of the month in Orlando, FL. The detail is incredible. Don’t show up in a black Jedi costume. These monsters hate that.
