Hoth Wampug Cave Dog Bed: Of Course We’ll See Master Luke Again

Our pals over at Homes and Hues spotted this Wampa-inspired Hoth Wampug Cave made by Tom Spina Designs for Kristen Andrews’ famous pet pug Chubbs the Wampug. She will knock you out and drag you to her icy cave, where she will hang you upside down and save you for a later meal. But she will look cute the whole time, so you really won’t mind.

As you can see, Chubbs the Wampug looks pretty adorable here in her Wampa costume, just hanging out in her Hoth ice cave dog bed. The coated foam sculpture even has an upside down Luke action figure hanging from it and the cave has a ramp granting the dog easy access.

Be sure to check the action filled video of Chubbs in action. Spoiler alert: It is better than the prequels.

Imperial Ketchup AT-AT Walker: Hothy Sauce

While there have been plenty of images circulating over on Reddit showing the awful, unsanitary things workers do when they’re bored at their fast food jobs, Redditor Txmaluda did something a little more creative – and decidedly less disturbing – with their downtime at work.

Yes, that’s an AT-AT Imperial Walker made  from plastic ketchup containers and cardboard. Of course, it’s all well and good until the Rebels start firing french fries and chicken nuggets – as it seem to be even more vulnerable than the ones in Empire Strikes Back. You certainly won’t need a tow line to take this AT-AT down.

My favorite part of the picture is the box that says both WHATABURGER and “fancy ketchup.” How fancy can WHATABURGER ketchup really be?

Battle Of Hoth Wedding Cake: Do You Take This Rebel?

This Battle of Hoth cake makes the battle different than I remember. Thanks a lot Han and Leia. The rebels are facing the Empire in a battle round and round this cake, while the pair of them are busy getting married up top. At least they made sure that the Rebel base is protected with some turrets around them.

Too bad the Empire didn’t bring anything that could climb to the top of this mountain of cake. That’s some nice Hoth detail though. I hope the groom live happily ever after. I just want Han and Leia to get down there and help out in the battle.

What, are you going to have your honeymoon while the rest of the Rebels rely on Ewoks to save them on Endor?

Donkey Hoth T-shirt: How Cold Can You Get?

Now here is an arcade reboot that I can totally get behind. Donkey Kong gets the Hoth treatment as Han races to rescue Luke from the Wampa monster.

Han has his Tauntaun and blaster and he won’t rest until Luke is free. He has to navigate his way through some Imperial Probe Droids and make his way up to the farmboy who is dazed and dreaming of Dagobah. No jumping barrels. Just shooting stuff. And if he makes it up high enough, he can grab a lightsaber. Though I’m wondering why Luke doesn’t use the force to pull it to him and slice off the Wampa’s arm.

This T-Shirt design by Baznet is pure awesomeness. It’s just about $25 (USD) from Redbubble. Check out more of Baznet’s science fiction inspired Donkey Kong levels over at MightyMega.

It even has Luke in his watery Bacta tank and Han riding a Tauntaun. Man, I wish I owned this awesome chess set. I would play chess all day just to play with the figures. Check out more amazing pics on Flickr.
