Hasta La Gadget!

Chewbacca always seemed a little high-strung to me, but if this image is to believed, he had enough patience to sit still for his portrait to be painted by the great Leonardo DaVinci.

This hilarious mashup of Chewie and Mona Lisa, entitled Chewconda after the painting’s Italian name La Gioconda, was created by Stefano Gentile, and would look great hanging up on your wall alongside your prized Carbonite-framed Han Solo.

You can grab an 8″ x 10″ ($14) or an 11″ x 16″ ($18) digital print of Chewconda over on Etsy for $14(USD), or really splurge and grab the framed original 18″ x 24″ acrylic painting of Chewie for $469.

If you’ve ever wanted your own miniature hairy Wookiee, check out this handy instructional video by Paul of That’s PS!. It’s not as hard as it might seem. And it isn’t as if he is going to be large enough to pull a droid’s arm of of it’s socket, so it is safe to have around as well. Just be careful with your tools.

You’ll need a furry material, some polyfill, cardboard, some red and white felt, some paper for your pattern, cutting instruments, a hot glue gun and a few other supplies. No actual Wookiees or Domokun are required though.

The video takes you through the whole process and when you are done, you’ve got a mini wookie buddy to keep you company. It takes about 6 hours to complete.
