Hasta La Gadget!

Need some new, high fashion clothes? New York Fashion Week has you covered. Check out these Star Wars outfits seen here modeled by a group of women who don’t look like they’ve eaten a decent meal since 1999. These Star Wars dresses are designed by fashion house Rodarte.

They are floor-length embroidered gowns featuring the printed likenesses of Luke Skywalker, Master Yoda, C-3PO and R2-D2, Tatooine and the Death Star. Personally, I prefer my X-Wing Fighters going down a Death Star trench, not a runway in New York, but more Star Wars clothes are always welcome, I suppose.

Great show, girls. Now go eat a cracker or two. And just because you regurgitate every meal, that doesn’t mean that you get to be the Sarlacc Pit. Modeling is so silly.

Netflix has announced that it has signed a new deal with Lucasfilm and Disney to get exclusive access to Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Netflix will also be getting the final season of the show, called The Lost Missions as an exclusive for its streaming subscribers. Along with the exclusive on the final season also comes other content.

This is the first Star Wars content to come to Netflix subscribers.  The deal includes access to all the other seasons of The Clone Wars, several director’s cut episodes that have never aired on TV, as well as the Clone Wars feature film. The final season of The Clone Wars will have 13 episodes and will be available for streaming on March 7.

The agreement between Netflix and Disney will also see Netflix becoming the exclusive subscription TV service to get first run live-action and animated movies from Disney starting in 2016. Netflix had previously announced that it would have new original series for its members based on Marvel characters starting in 2015.

This is some Jedi-level Star Wars tribute art: the Coruscant Tapestry is 30 feet of cross-stitchery chronicling every character, plot point, and detail from Episodes One through Six, framed with quotes in freaking Aurebesh. The Force is strong with Aled Lewis.

Last year we saw a 24-foot long print that depicts the history of Doctor Who, which was inspired by the mysterious Bayeux Tapestry. The talented pop artist Aled Lewis was also inspired by the relic to make an illustrated history, this time of Star Wars. But instead of drawing it he decided to hand-stitch the entire thing.

Aled calls his creation The Coruscant Tapestry. Yes, it’s not actually a tapestry, nor is it from Coruscant, but you can say the exact same thing about the Bayeux Tapestry. The whole thing is 30ft. long and 13in. tall. and relays the first six episodes of Star Wars. Along the borders of the strip Aled inscribed quotes from the movies in Aurebesh, the alphabet that was invented for the Star Wars universe.

The Coruscant Tapestry is currently on display at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, California, but you can take it home for $20,000 (USD). Check out the gallery’s blog to see larger images of the piece.
