Hasta La Gadget!

In a club far, far away, Marco of Picotek Design must be wowing the crowd not just with his beats but with his one-of-a-kind gear as well. His highly modified turntable is based on another highly modified piece of equipment: the freighter-turned-smuggler’s ship Millenium Falcon.

Marco said he stumbled upon the toy replica of Han Solo’s ship and got it for a mere $2 (USD), albeit with some of its parts missing. He stowed it away for a couple of years, then one day decided to combine it with another relic from the 70s, a Technics 1200 turntable. Marco says he’ll upload more pictures of the turntable soon.

I know, I know, some of us are still pretty upset that Disney has bought over Lucasfilm, and along with it, the crown jewel that is the eternal cash cow known as the Star Wars franchise. Will we see Mickey Mouse cross over into the Star Wars universe sometime down in Episode 7? I do not think so, but who knows what the future might bring in the realm of cartoons? After all, Space Jam saw the amalgamation of Michael Jordan and the rest of the Looney Tunes cast, didn’t it? This unique AT-AT bunk bed is definitely worth checking out, especially if you are a huge fan of the Star Wars universe.

There is a flight of stairs that leads up to the AT-AT, while it would be ideal to place a couch or sofa under the AT-AT bunk bed, complete with a bookshelf attached to the wall so that you are able to catch up on your Star Wars fan fiction before retiring for the night. Good thing this AT-AT bunk bed is stationary, otherwise a wayward A-Wing might just wrap its legs around with an extremely tough wire, tripping you up. Now that would certainly be a nightmare to sleep on, wouldn’t it?

Welcome to the next chapter in the Star Wars saga ala Angry Birds – Bespin, also known as the City in the Clouds! What we’re seeing here is a massive expansion of the game with three full screens of action, including a set of super-secret Boba Fett missions for those of you that love the notorious feathery bounty hunter and his whole new look! You’ll find a new set of gameplay mechanics including STEAM as well – get ready to float!

This update brings you to Cloud City, that being the gas-mining operation run by your best buddy Lando Calrissian – also a new fine feathered friend here in this new set of levels. Here you’ll not exactly be following the Star Wars plotline with lots of escape missions and tricks. Instead you’ll be running at those Imperial pigs full force – blasters blazing! And don’t forget Chewie to hammer away at their towers with full-on bulk.

These levels have you floating in the clouds through 20 regular levels and the full set of Boba Fett levels if you dare! You’ll be able to get to the Boba Fett levels by finding each of the five hidden rocket packs, by grabbing a promotion code (we’ll see soon where those come from), or with a bit of cash via an in-app purchase. And don’t forget to stay on target with the rest of the empire-hunting loftiness this expansions provides!

This update also brings on a connection to the Angry Birds cartoon series, if you’re so inclined to have a click. You’ll be able to update your iOS and Android apps starting today – immediately – right now! We checked! Both app updates are free, and as noted above, there is some in-game purchase bits and pieces available if you like to skip levels. Grab on with both hands and begin the battle once again!

And you can connect to Twitter now through the app as well – but don’t you dare brag about your accomplishments to us! We’re almost done already!

Since it’s pretty much an open secret that the old cast members of the original Star Wars trilogy are coming back for the next movie, this portrait of them at their current age should absolutely be the next movie poster for Episode VII. Hand painted by artist Adam Schickling, the portrait captures our favorite heroes with all their beautiful wrinkles. More »

I would sleep like a Jedi in this awesome AT-AT bed, while dreaming about laying waste to Hoth. Pew, Pew, Pew! Take that rebel scum! What’s that? Pesky Snowspeeders? They are nothing. Wait what? What’s that cable. The legs are all wobbly. We’re going down! Whew! It was only a dream. An amazing dream in an amazing bed!

This giant AT-AT loft bed is the best bed ever. Some lucky kid is smiling every night as he lays down inside of this thing.

I don’t know who the parents are that built this awesome thing, but I am kidnapping them and taking them home. I’ve already bought the supplies. Now work, damn you.
