When you care enough to give your baby an awesome geek ride like this Millennium Falcon Stroller, you are the best parent ever. Now you can smuggle cargo like stinky diapers and teething rings in style. Everybody buckle in and stand by for Diaperspace!

This awesome baby vehicle was spotted at Akron Comicon over the weekend and even though it looks like it is piloted by a drunk Yoda, it is actually for the kid seen here. It looks like the whole ship just goes right on top of the existing stroller, so you can switch vehicles with ease.

The only downside is that there is no wookiee for a co-pilot.

Millennium Falcon Mirror: You Looked in THAT Thing? You’re Braver Than I Thought

While they never came out and said it, I always imagined that Han Solo liked to look at himself in the mirror for hours every day. With all of that swagger, he had to be just a little self-absorbed. And what better mirror for him to check himself in but a Millennium Falcon?

This mirror based on the ship that did the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs was made by the guys from Funky Mirrors, and it is the perfect thing to round out any Star Wars themed room. It’s been lovingly hand-painted to replicate the details of the battle-worn spaceship, except for the part where the whole middle of the ship has been replaced with a mirror, of course.

The Millennium Falcon mirror measures 70cm (L) x 53cm (W) (~27.56″ x 20.87″) and is selling for $191 (USD) over on Etsy. I think if I had one of these, I’d rig it to display an image of Chewbacca every time you walked up to it.

Aluminum Signs Commemorate Star Wars Ships

You know how they have the building plaques on some ships to commemorate their construction? Every Star Trek ship has one on the bridge too. Well, even though the Star Wars ships never had these, you can buy them from Big Bay Toy Store.

They’re printed on brushed aluminum, with a black box backing for hanging and a certificate of authenticity. It’s a great way to pretend that your office or living room is a Star Wars ship, even though it doesn’t look like one. Choose from the Millennium Falcon, the X-34 Landspeeder, or the T-65 X-Wing Starfighter.

Each plate is limited to 295 pieces and is available for pre-order now. They will cost you a crazy $264.99(USD) each, but they do look pretty awesome. Serious Star Wars fans will want at least one.

Star Wars Guitars Places Millennium Falcon At Your Fingertips

We’ve seen some impressive guitar mods in the past couple of months as we’ve seen one that is shaped like an NES, while another types out certain keys on a computer depending on what notes you play. But have you seen guitars that are are to look like the Millennium Falcon, a Y-Wing and a B-Wing from Star Wars?

These guitars were created by 64-year-old Tom Bingham for himself as he has said he doesn’t plan on selling them. Each guitar took Bingham around three months to build, which he has a total of 20 other guitar designs, a number of which have nothing to do with Star Wars such as his chessboard guitar and his vinyl record guitar. His Millennium Falcon Guitar was used by attaching the neck of a guitar to a replica, which he also equipped with flashing LEDs in the back to give it a “hyperdrive look.” (more…)

Gingerbread Millennium Falcon is Chewie, Literally.

If you want to make an amazing gingerbread house for the holidays this year, forget about making one that you might find in the woods. Make one that you would normally find in space, like this Millennium Falcon gingerbread house.
Star Wars Gingerbread
This gingerbread Millennium Falcon was of the entries in Canada’s National Gingerbread Showcase 2012. This entry was named ‘Canoe Wars’ because it was made by the Canoe Brewpub. It features Han in a sled being pulled by a tauntaun, Chewbacca, and a bunch of candy canes. And the surface of Hoth appears to be made of shredded coconut.

I don’t know what they are drinking at that brewpub, but it is certainly working for them. They did an amazing job on this tasty treat. I’ll have whatever they are having.

Millennium Falcon Truffles: How Many Calories Are There in 12 Parsecs?

Now that you’re done recovering from your Thanksgiving food coma, you’re probably be ready for some more delicious carbs, right? Well there’s no better way to get your sugar fix than with some of these Millenium Falcon truffles.

They’re made by Nikki’s Treats, and when ordered in the default grey (white chocolate) shell, look exactly like Han and Chewie’s trusty ship. Unlike the actual Falcon, these ones can be filled with Cadbury-like creme, caramel, peanut butter, marshmallow cream, peppermint cream or yummy Nutella. What’s not to like?

Grab a pack of three edible Millennium Falcons over on Etsy for $7.50(USD) before Chewbacca hoards them all for himself. While you’re over there, be sure to grab up some sugary Darth Vader and Han Solo treats.


Guy Building a Full-Scale Model of the Millennium Falcon

Inflatable Star Wars Pool Toys Perfect for Floating in the Dagobah Swamp

Summer is nearly over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still hit the pool or swim in the ocean for the next few months. These Star Wars inflatable pool toys are inspiration enough for me to hop back in the waters, even with Fall approaching.

star wars pool toys

As you can see, the series includes awesome Millennium Falcon and X-Wing Fighter floating loungers, as well as the world’s best beachball – made to look like the Death Star. But I think the floating R2-D2 drink server is my favorite, as the little droid was built to serve after all. And if your favorite body of water happens to be a swamp, you can pretend to be on Dagobah.

Apparently, these things were made by Jakks Pacific a couple of years ago and distributed through Target stores in the US and Walmart stores in Canada. I never saw them in stores, and I’m not sure if they’re still making them, but you might want to keep an eye out on eBay for them to turn up there. In the mean time, I found a Jar Jar Binks inflatable pool if you’d like to fill it with water and then throw Jarts at Jar Jar’s face.
