35-Foot-Tall Dalek Made from Straw

Folks in the UK are determined that we all know that it is Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary. They are doing all kinds of crazy things. For instance, the ice cream shop Snugbury’s, does giant straw sculptures every year. This year it is a 35-foot-tall Dalek.

At least they can burn this Dalek and kill it easily if it gives them any trouble.

Star Wars Scarecrows: Straw Wars, Nothing but Straw Wars…

Scarecrows usually scare people (and crows) away, but this Star Wars scarecrow scene is just going to attract fans. If we are very lucky they will scare away the prequels, and keep Lucas from ever messing with the original saga again.

Imgur user jesusshuttlesworth34 created (or maybe just photographed) this awesome scene. I really don’t care who created it, it’s just great. All of your favorite characters are here.

There’s a stormtrooper, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Vader, Palpatine, R2-D2, Jabba, the Death Star and more. There’s even an Emperor with light-up Force lightning coming from his hands.

It must have taken a long time to prepare and make these scarecrows. I would never take them down. In fact, how do you feel about an all scarecrow Star Wars Halloween Christmas New Years Easter Labor Day special? Sounds great to me.
