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.

Not every fairy tale ends in happily ever after. You’d be surprised at how many Disney stories actually ended in tragedy. Did you know that the Little Mermaid actually turned into foam because the prince married someone else? Or that Cinderella’s step-sisters had their eyes pecked out by pigeons because they were trying to fool the prince?

Obviously, kids won’t want to see movies ending in such tragedy. But what if the villains prevailed in Disney’s version of the tales? These digital paintings by artist Justin Turrentine still portray a happy ending – only for the villains, and not for the princesses that little girls (and even boys) have grown to love over the years.

Check out the rest of the series in the gallery below. (Poor Flounder!)

You Transformers fan! Buy hoodie! You become Grimlock! Badass! You’ll have to make the transforming sound on your own though.

Note the protruding T-Rex fingers. You can also pretend that you’re the secret sixth member of Gatchaman with this hoodie.

You can buy the officially licensed Grimlock hoodie from 80sTees for $60 (USD). They also have an Optimus Prime hoodie, but I think this one is way cooler.

With Iran’s nuclear capabilities escalating to an all-time high, it
appears Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has built his very own
bomb in retaliation. Except his high-octane ammunition was not of the world-annihilation kind.
Identified as the "Bibi Bomb," named after the PM’s nickname "Bibi," his
explosive came in the form of a cartoonish drawing to illustrate what is
perceived as Iran’s probability to create an atomic weapon. Used as a
prop at the UN General Assembly this past week,  it was seen as Israel’s first preemptive salvo launched at its number-one enemy, Iran.

Your beat-up ride may not be able to make the Kessel Run, is smaller on the inside and can only go where you’ve already gone before, but you can always use your imagination. Though that could be mentally taxing depending on the state of your car, so you might want to make it easier with these geeky car emblems.

The official-looking emblems are made from silicone and then painted black and chrome to look like a traditional car badge. It already comes with “all-weather, automotive grade” double sided adhesive so your only problem will be deciding where to stick it.

Etsy seller EmpiraCraft makes these geeky car emblems, which are typically priced between $12 to $15 (USD). Hate your car? There’s an emblem for that.
