Seriously people, you must watch Jelani Eddington’s incredible rendition of the Main Title from the Star Wars Symphonic Suite on a Sanfilippo Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. It starts slow but it gets pretty crazy after a while. And the end—holy crap that end. Is he playing in the Death Star or what?
You know, I would have figured out that Jedi Knights as well as Sith warriors who have mastered the different ways of the Force would not let anything like the inability to wield eating utensils in their proper manner and decorum would not be too perturbed. After all, they can always cajole some midichlorians within to bring that entire bowl of noodles near their mouth, where they can then slurp to their heart’s content without having to learn how to use a pair of chopsticks in the first place. However, the more sensitive ones out there might find a regular pair of chopsticks to be boring, which is why the $15.99 Star Wars Light Up Chop Sabers was created.
Best described as “an elegant utensil for a more civilized age”, these happen to be not-so-regular chopsticks that will actually light up and look like lightsabers, where you can choose from either Luke (blue) or Vader (red) models. Of course, you can keep them turned off as you eat in order to save battery thanks to the push-button light-up action. As for the sound effects of firing a lightsaber to life, you will just have to provide the hum yourself.

A lot of people take paintings that they find at thrift stores and add stuff to them. Some people even add Star Wars themes to these paintings, but Dave Vancook has a great eye for it.
Boba Fett as a matador, facing off against a raging bull? Greedo in Scottish attire, riding a pony? How about an Endor Scout trooper having lunch at a restaurant with his speeder bike parked in front? Check. Check. And check. That is just some of Dave’s fantastically geeky work.
I would love to hang these up in my home. I especially like the Boba Fett one. It’s classy and geeky.
