Star Wars Mickey Mouse Ears: LucasHats

Sure, we can all laugh about these Star Wars Mickey Mouse ears and point and say “Those merchandising fools. That’s ridiculous.” But remember, Disney now owns Lucasfilm, and therefore Star Wars. I wouldn’t be surprised if people wore this stuff in the next movies. I’m ready for anything after Jar Jar.

I especially like the X-Wing pilot/X-Ear hat. And the Darth Maul hat. Yeah! Mickey Maul. That I can get behind!

They are cute and clever creations – as long as they keep them out of any movies.

Stand Tall with Star Wars Wedges and Superhero Pumps

These wedges are made for walking, but you can also just display them for good measure because they look more like collectible works of art than actual footwear.

These Star Wars wedges, for example, feature the most noted characters from the hit franchise, from Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker to Darth Vader and several of his Stormtroopers.

Star Wars Wedges

If you’re not much of a Star Wars fan, then maybe superhero-themed pumps and heels featuring the likes of Superman, Captain America, Dredd or Wonder Woman is more up your alley.

They’ve even got some Robocop high heels. Now I’d buy that for a dollar!

Dredd Heels

These fancy footwear are made-to-order by Etsy decoupage artist DeckoFab. They take custom orders, too, so if you’re a huge fan (or troll), then you can put in an order for an all-Jar Jar pair of wedges for good measure.

The wedges cost $115(USD), while the high heels are priced at $85. You can check them out at DeckoFab’s Etsy store.

Pink X-Wing Fighter in the Forest: Because.

Hey look. It’s a pink X-Wing in the forest? What gives? Did Ewoks get a hold of a truckload full of Pepto Bismol and assault this fighter with it? That sounds like those mischievous bastards. They love a good joke/vandalizing stuff. Did Endor have a pride parade? Nope.

This “natural X-wing” was made by Guillaume Renou for an exhibition in France that celebrates nature. Bizarre right?

If teenage girls fought for the rebellion, this is what their ships would look like – along with a fuzzy Hello Kitty plush hanging in the cockpit of course. And this guy would be their leader:

What else can you say about such a pink ship? Sure is pink. Damned Ewoks!

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.

imperial ketchup walker

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?

The First Doctor’s TARDIS Set Amazingly Replicated

Doctor Who fans are looking forward to Mark Gatiss’ An Adventure in Time and Space as part of the 50th anniversary of the classic science fiction show. For this anniversary they are not just recreating popular scenes. They have actually rebuilt the First Doctor’s TARDIS console room.

All I can say is Holy Timelord! It looks amazing. Who doesn’t love a bunch of dials and levers on a central console?

This TARDIS set was put on display at Comic Con Paris. I can’t even imagine how good this thing looks in person. The only thing missing in that image is the Doctor himself.

Predator Cake is One Ugly Mother

If Arnold had encountered this Predator, the movie would have been five minutes of him, Carl Weathers and Jesse “The Body” Ventura stuffing their faces. Did I say Arnold and the gang? I meant me. This Predator cake by Kupkake Tree is incredibly detailed to the point where it looks horrifying – in a good way.

It looks so real that you have to wonder who is going to be eating who. At least it can’t turn all invisible and rip your spine out… I don’t think.

Eat it’s mouth first so it can’t eat you. Just to be safe. I know one thing. I’m now hungry enough that my stomach is making the Predator sound.

3D Print Your Own Death Star Birdhouse: A New Home

A little while back, we featured an officially-licensed Death Star birdhouse, but thanks to Thingiverse member plainolddave you can save some money and 3D print an evil space station for your winged Sith friends.

If you want, you can scale it down and use it as an ornament, a trinket or accessory – or scale it up and make an actual Death Star. You can even print the energy beam – though that’ll keep the birds out.

Head to Thingiverse to get the Death Star plans now.

Leeds Phone Boxes Get Turned into TARDISes, Become Wi-Fi Hubs

It’s about time somebody started painting UK phone boxes in TARDIS blue. My only question is, what took so long? This is now happening in the city of Leeds. They are repainting their red phone boxes in a shade of TARDIS blue. The boxes will also be outfitted with Wi-Fi and touchscreens so they can serve as Wi-Fi hubs.

But that’s not all. The phone boxes are also getting recording devices so that visitors and residents can record their thoughts about Leeds for other people to watch. It will be full of stuff like “Great city, but this TARDIS isn’t even bigger on the inside? Bollocks!”

A company called aql is handling it all. Unfortunately, the boxes won’t be all over the U.K. – just in Leeds. They have to rig them to make the TARDIS sounds though. How could you not add that?

The Force is Strong with This Star Wars Dress Made from Bedsheets

We’ve seen some fun Star Wars dresses, but this is one of my favorite yet. It looks so awesome because it is made from vintage Star Wars bedsheets. That material makes this dress authentically vintage, while being a totally fashionable dress you could wear out on the town.

She has some other geeky dresses on her site as well if you aren’t into Star Wars. The woman is does amazing stuff with bedsheets. No, I didn’t mean… She makes a really nice dress, that’s all.

Darth Vader Mailbox: The Dark Side of the Post Office

Witness the true power of the Dark Side of the Force with this Darth Vader mailbox. It’s the perfect place for the delivery of the Death Star plans after recovering them from the Rebels.

Sensemonkeyboy helped build this dastardly mailbox for a friend. It features a Darth Vader helmet door and a lightsaber flag, which makes it look really ominous when there’s outgoing mail.

Would the mailman even have the guts to deliver bills or junkmail to you in this mailbox?
