Hasta La Gadget!

That’s no moon, that’s a cheese ball! It is almost operational and when it goes online, it will be the ultimate power in the universe. This awesome cheese Death Star was made by Jennifer Landa who has her sights set on Alderaan and isn’t afraid to fire.

The edible Death Star was made with cream cheese, bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, garlic, brown cumin, cayenne pepper, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and a jalapeño. She mixed it all together, shaped the mixture into a ball, then refrigerated it for an hour. The lines were carved with a knife and then she dug out the concavity for the superlaser with a spoon. Want to make one for yourself? Check out the instructional video below:

When the rebels attack, this large cheese ball is going to blow and become an explosive cheesy poof.

Do something different with your Christmas tree this year and build a light-up Death Star ornament. Nashville-based craftycounterpart will show you how with a step-by-step Instructables article.

You will use supplies like clear acrylic balls, LED tealights, clay, spray paint, painters tape, and of course the blood and sweat of countless clones. When you are finished, this space station will be the ultimate power in your Christmas tree universe. Just be on the lookout for those pesky X-Wing fighter ornaments.

The end result looks really super nice and it will be the focal point of your geek decorated tree. The LED light really makes it look like a working station. I would suggest a small diorama nearby that is basically space debris, for what was formally Alderaan.

Thanks to these custom tiles, I can finally turn my room into the Death Star. They look amazing. You really could turn any room into a Death Star. Death Star shower? You could do that. And it would be amazing. Of course then you would need some Death Star soap to go with it. This station would be the… ultimate shower in the universe!

Artist and designer Victor Brown collaborated with Tom Spina Designs when his client wanted a sci-fi inspired custom home theater. One requirement was wall tiles that you can’t just find at your local Home Depot. They came up with tiles that look like the Death Star Trench run scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

They designed 14 different 12″x12″ sculptures, then artist Lonnie Hale reproduced a total of 120 Death Star tiles in cast resin. They were installed under the home theater’s screen and along the lower walls and steps. As you can see in the video and it really completes the theme. I want a whole wall full of these amazing tiles.

The Death Star isn’t all about destroying Alderaan. This space station will destroy herbs with the same massive power. It is the ultimate power in the universe and in your kitchen. Etsy seller Pyroteeze makes these so that you can easily and geekily grind up your herbs when cooking (or getting baked).

Each mini Death Star is made from non toxic polymer clay, and antiqued with a light black acrylic paint. The grinder measures about 2.5 inches across, which is a little smaller than a baseball. Both halves are held shut with a magnet that allows it to roll without falling apart. I also has a spot on the bottom that allows it to sit and not roll everywhere.

It will cost you $22(USD) and is totally worth it. After all, not everyone has a Death Star in their kitchen drawer.

At last, a toy that lets a TIE Fighter chase an X-Wing, just like during the big Death Star battle scene in A New Hope! A Trench run that is never-ending, thanks to its figure-eight slot car track. The Star Wars Battling Fighters Set is a slot car set where the “cars” are space ships that we all know and love.

One player pilots Luke Skywalker’s “Red Five” X-Wing, while Vader’s TIE fighter gives chase. Apparently this set takes some skill to play with because the ships are slightly wider than the track. Therefore it should be challenging for either player.

The ships have LEDs that light up when racing too. And like any good kids toy, the 12-foot figure-eight track has glow-in the-dark striping for nighttime play. It will cost you $99.95 over at Hammacher Schlemmer. Completely worth it as far as I’m concerned.
