Hasta La Gadget!

Do you normally just throw wedding invitations out as you laugh and call the bride and groom suckers? Well, you wouldn’t throw these wedding invitations away. After all, they come with starships. Who’s the sucker now?

There’s probably no better day for Star Wars fans to get married than May the 4th. It was the perfect day for Homer Liwag. You probably remember the Indiana Jones engagement ring and the Star Wars wedding band he created. So of course, for his own wedding, he created some amazing invitations.

Each invitation comes in a little black box that holds a miniature Star Wars ship attached to an invitation that initially read only “Take Off.” Once the recipient took off the lid, the full invitation and a tiny spaceship was revealed. Now, that is classy.

Check out these awesome window shades that put spaceships on your window and at the same time help isolate you from sunlight, with only your action figures and DVD collections to keep you company. I kid. I would love to have these on my window too, since I’m a huge science fiction nerd too.

You can choose from a variety of blinds that feature wireframe images of some of the most famous ships in sci-fi.

There is a TARDIS, the Millennium Falcon, the USS Enterprise, a Klingon Bird of Prey, a BSG inspired Viper and Boba Fett’s Slave I ship. But which do you choose? They are all amazing. Maybe if you have enough windows, you can have them all.

They cost £99 (~$152 USD) and up over at DirectBlinds, depending on the size of your windows, and any options you add.

Now that you’ve seen these, you’ll want to redecorate and try to convince your wife that spaceships will look good in your windows.

Back in 2011, when Steve Jobs announced his plans to build a spaceship-like Cupertino HQ for Apple, we all knew it was going to be one ridiculously lavish office. But according to Bloomberg Businessweek, it’s due for a bit of a downgrade before construction starts this June. It’ll still be crazy, just not totally absurd. More »

Get your X-Wing pilot suit on and ready your Astromech droid. LEGO fans who are itching for a new Star Wars set will be happy to learn that a new X-Wing starfighter set will be coming out this May.

The set is 10240 – the Red Five X-Wing Starfighter. It will be available for $200(USD). Sure that’s expensive, but your childhood memories are priceless right? For that price you get 1,558 LEGO pieces, and one R2 unit.

The X-Wing offers tons of detail, including smoothly-moving wings, accurate laser cannons, a see-through cockpit with a hinged canopy, and even a little place for R2-D2 to hang out.

Check out the video below and the Flickr gallery for all of the details if you want to drool, and then start counting your money.

Then go put that money in a safe place and wait and say, “Red Five, Standing by (until May!)”

There are cool dads and there are awesome dads. Redditor JeremiahGordon is the awesome type. You see, he built this cool spaceship his son Finn’s fifth birthday – and it is completely amazing.

He made a loft platform for the bed, with portals that look out into space, and then created a spaceship control room in the space below the bed. Most dads would have stopped at the loft platform. Dad pieced together the master control board from junk he found in a television station’s dumpster. They weren’t using the stuff anymore.

It has so many switches and levers that this kid will never go to bed on time again. I hope he grows up to be an Astronaut, or at least do something this cool for his own kids when he’s older. Though he could just grow up to be a TV director.

Check out more pics of the build over on imgur.
