It’s sort of unbelievable but these sculptures are all made from aluminum wire. When you look at the artwork up close, you can see each line of wire coming together to form the body of a human but when you’re looking from far away it totally looks like people frozen in carbonite.

If you’re a fan of science fiction, you’re undoubtedly looking forward to the new Star Wars films from Disney. The studio has already confirmed that J.J. Abrams will be directing Star Wars: Episode VII. This major time commitment puts a bit of a wrinkle in the things for fans of the modern Star Trek films that have been directed by Abrams and done very well at the box office.
Word has surfaced that Abrams will still be producing Star Trek 3, but has given up the director role. Reports now indicate that Joe Cornish will be directing the film.
Cornish isn’t a name that I recognize, but he co-wrote the Steven Spielberg movie The Adventures of Tin-Tin, and directed the action flick Attack the Block. Cornish is also working with Edgar Wright on a Marvel superhero film called Ant-Man, which has been getting a lot of buzz.
It’s interesting that Abrams will reportedly stay on as a producer, meaning a single person will be associated with two of the most iconic franchises in all of science fiction.
Star Trek 3 is reportedly set to begin shooting in the summer of 2014.

The last two modern Star Trek movies have been undeniably popular and very good. Both of those films have been directed by JJ Abrams. However, Abrams will reportedly not be directing the third installment in the modern Star Trek franchise. Rumors are circulating that a new director has been chosen for the next film in […]
Have you been one of those who have been bitten by the Star Wars bug? If you have answered in the affirmative, then I am quite sure that you would have, at some point in time or another, wanted to have the ability to wield the Force. Whether it is meant for the Dark Side or the Light Side, that remains to be seen, although the Dark Side of the Force does seem to sound extremely tempting. Baby steps is what this is all about though. Forget about lifting up an X-Wing which has been stuck in a bog while a short little green creature tells you in inverse grammar, “Do or do not, there is no try.” Why not begin with the £14.99 Feel the Force Self Stir Mug that should be able to do enough to impress your friends and colleagues?
All you need to do is play the part, but while you attempt some sort of misdirection move to turn the attention of the curious away from the pivotal moment when you press the button on the handle so that the mug will be able to stir its contents on its own without missing a beat. Ideal for tea, coffee, hot chocolate or soup, the Feel the Force Self Stir Mug would be more than the ideal gift for any aspiring Jedi Master wannabe.

I never cared much for the late Thomas Kinkade’s paintings. To me they just seemed boring and a little too pretty. Well, whether you like his work or not, I think we can all agree that adding Star Wars into them makes them much better.
These images were embellished by artist Jeff Bennett. Jeff has added imagery from the Star Wars universe into Kinkade’s idyllic and peaceful settings and now they are wayyyy more amazing and interesting. I would actually buy and hang these in my home.
Now there are stormtroopers, a Rancor, star destroyers and more in Kinkade’s art.
It’s as if the Empire has invaded a quiet Christmas village and turned it into an Imperial base.
Check out more of these wonderful paintings at Jeff’s DeviantArt page.

Worf: Captain. There is an anomaly dead ahead. Too late! We have entered a galaxy far, far away. So far away I’m not getting any accurate readings. Oh, and we are also now in a time period that the computer will only say is a “long time ago”.
Picard: What is that Worf? Is that a ship? It looks a bit like that hamburger the replicator served me for lunch not one hour ago. With a satellite dish on top. Red alert! Raise shields!
This awesome pumpkin is the only crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek that I want to see. Who would win? Picard and Kirk are a seasoned starship Captains with years on their side, but Han Solo is rough and tumble and has the reckless asset of youth. He also has a Wookiee co-pilot by his side, who could probably rip the arms off of pretty much any member of the Enterprise’s crew.
This pumpkin is from master pumpkin carver Alex Wer. Check out his entire gallery here.

There might not be an actual laser-powered sword in this galaxy, but Shun’s Sora Ultimate Utility Knife is a pretty cool blade in its own right.

There’s nothing like a good Star Wars scene you’ve never seen before to start your week off right. What we’re seeing here is the purchase of a massively expensive LaserDisc-format Return of the Jedi complete with a collection of behind-the-scenes video clips so rare that @THX found them amazing to behold. This is the collection […]
