Boba Flake: Star Wars Laser-Cut Snowflake Ornaments

Posted in: Today's Chili

Do you have empty spaces on your tree that aren’t filled with geeky ornaments? You could cut out your own paper snowflakes, or you could fill up those empty spaces with these laser-cut, acrylic Star Wars snowflake ornaments.
Boba Flake
They’re available in stormtrooper, Boba Fett or Yoda designs. Each ornament measures 4-inches in diameter, is 1/4-inch thick, and is full of geeky holiday joy.

Yoda is available in green acrylic or oak plywood. Don’t worry, I’m sure these ornaments are made from wood that was not harvested from Endor. In other words, no Ewoks were harmed to make these. Or Wookiees for that matter.

You really can’t go wrong with these on your Christmas tree. Especially since they sell for just $5(USD) each over at Light Carving’s Etsy shop.

Motion Activated Talking Yoda Sentry

Posted in: Today's Chili

Who would have thought that someone as diminutive as Yoda would end up being a Jedi Master while heading the entire Jedi Council in its heydays? Well, this little creature that could is also a great friend of the Wookies, and he managed to live to a ripe old age, mentoring Anakin Skywalker’s offspring in the process while dying to become one with the Force afterwards. His leadership abilities and wizened frame might be misleading to those who do not know of his abilities in the Force, but here is another way he spends his time to make sure that he remains at peak performance always – by acting as a $29.95 Motion Activated Talking Yoda Sentry.

Needless to say, the motion-detecting Yoda figurine will react to “disturbances in the force” with verbal as well as visual responses. Made out of high-impact plastic in order to match Yoda’s likeness in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, he stands at 9″ tall while making sure no one fools around your desk whenever you are not around. He has a collection of half a dozen phrases, ranging from “Still much to learn you have” to “A disturbance in the Force there is.” You can opt to keep him silent or disarm the motion sensor, and the entire shebang is powered by USB.

Yoda Bust with Human Complexion: Judge Me by My Color, Do You?

Posted in: Today's Chili

The species of legendary Jedi master Yoda is one of the mysteries of Star Wars. Whatever he is, all we know is that he’s small and green. If you ever wondered what he’d look like if he had more or less the same skin as humans, sculptor Andrea Eusebi has a possible answer. Also, you wonder about strange things.

Like child of elf and hobbit, Yoda bust looks. Hmmmm.

Eusebi finished this particular bust way back in August, but if I’m not mistaken he’s still willing to make more if you want to buy one from him. Head to Facebook to contact Eusebi and to browse more images of his amazing work.

Epic Star Wars Cake is Epic

Posted in: Today's Chili

Sometimes you can’t just pick one favorite character from the Star Wars movies. Who says you have to? At least that’s the idea that one baker had when creating what could be the most awesome Star Wars cake ever. Ok, it’s not as incredibly crafted as the full-size Stormtrooper and Darth Vader cakes, but it’s still pretty great.

This single cake combines Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Yoda into a single, epic cake masterpiece. Nobody seems to know who made this amazing cake, but whoever you are, I bend the knee to you. The only thing missing are Boba Fett and Stormtrooper layers but I suppose you could always pick those up here.

Miniature Star Wars Terrariums Land You on Tatooine, Endor, Dagobah, Where’s My Hoth Snowglobe?

Posted in: Today's Chili

Star Wars fans, here’s a fun accessory to place on your desktop or bookshelf. It’s a series of handmade terrariums, each depicting a scenic location from one of the Star Wars films.

They’re made by Tony Larson (aka ‘Megatone230′) of The Wonder Room, and you can choose from a scene with Yoda chilling out in a Dagobah moss garden, R2-D2 (or mini R2-D2) searching for Obi-Wan on Tatooine, or a cuddly Ewok getting ready to take down some speeder bikes on the forest planet of Endor.

I just want him to make me a tiny snowglobe with a scene of snowspeeder taking down an AT-AT.

Each one is lovingly handmade to order, and prices range from $95 to $105(USD) for the little dioramas. Be sure to check out the other scenes over on The Wonder Room’s Etsy shop too. The Ancient Goddess Ruins ($200) is pretty epic, and reminds me of God of War for some reason. I wonder why…
