Worst Collectible EVAR: Luke Skywalker Ceremonial Jacket and Medal
Monday, October 11th, 2010Basically, if you take the profound uncoolness of a Member’s Only jacket and multiply it by 1.7, you get Luke’s ceremonial jacket from the closing scene of Star Wars. So, if you’d actually consider paying $260 for a replica of that severely-uncool space jacket, you might as well have your name legally changed to “Poindexter” [...]
Sloppy, Much?: Star Wars Back Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
Thursday, October 7th, 2010Ok, so this Star Wars tattoo isn’t a complete mess. I mean, Luke Skywalker looks distinctly more like Dorothy Hamill than Mark Hamill, but otherwise… um, lovely. Ish.

Wait, WHAT?: Han Solo Learns the Truth about Luke and Leia

Thanks, 1970s Japan!: Insane Star Wars-Themed Commercial for Sea Chicken [Video]
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Answer: Chewbacca jumping and yelping like someone just gave him a hearty Wookiee-neutering. Horrible doppelgangers of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia. “Sea chicken,” a screeching mantra that will haunt your ears like nothing else since “RED RUM.” The geisha-like version of C-3PO that you never imagined could be more effeminate than the original. [...]
Revelatory: Luke Skywalker Is the Six Million Dollar Man
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010In retrospect, the parallels between Luke Skywalker and the Six Million Dollar Man are so obvious that I’m surprised that no one has set the nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh bionic sounds to Star Wars video clips, before. I bet Colonel Steve Austin never made out with his sister, though. Via UniqueDaily, who never made out with Steve Austin’s [...]
FINALLY: Star Wars Tauntaun Cake [Geeky Cake]
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009For years I’ve made offerings–i.e., small children sent to the heavens via weather balloon–to the Interweb Gods in hopes of a pixel-based delivery of a Star Wars cake in the form of an eviscerated tauntaun. Years. Finally, by way of reader Tamara N., I received this tauntaun groom’s cake created by Cake Nouveau for the [...]
