Culture Buzz What did I just watch? Lightsabers and wet tshirts are probably not what Chewbacca had in mind.
Culture Buzz The Chewbaccalypse was nigh this weekend. Here are photos of the sci-fi and Star Wars-themed New Orleans collective known as Chewbacchus as they rang in Mardi Gras.
Culture Buzz Need to teach your children a foreign language that doesn't exist? You may consider picking up Wu Kee Smith's “How To Speak Wookiee,” even though I have no idea how, exactly, the illustrated title actually educates your padawan on the Kashyyyk language arts. Especially when the book totally misspells “Wookiee.”
Chewbacca is a sexy bitch and Curry PCWorld knows it. Get that wookie in your life something they really need for Christmas. Like a blow dryer, before they rip your arms out of your socket during a bad hair day.
Celebrity Buzz What do River Tam, Kaylee Frye, Chewbacca, Dante and Spike all have in common? They actually believed I was a legitimate journalist. Bless their hearts.
Note to fan artists: Can you mash up Dagobah with The Bog of Eternal Stench next? Thanks.
Hip-hop duo Random Axe makes some rhyme time for Kashyyyk's biggest baller. (via.)
Culture Buzz This is dedication. Check out the boots—they're mini-stilts, for added height. (via reddit.com)
Movie Buzz Guys, how could you? Based on the sheer number of photographs, you weren't even trying to hide your love.
Just in case that post about Han and Chewy feuding made you sad, here's one that will also make you a little teary, but in a good way.
Movie Buzz I hate when Mom and Dad fight. But I hate when Han and Chewie fight more. (via splitsider.com)
Culture Buzz Well there's a title I never thought I'd type. But I should've known better. Gender bending cosplay is pretty mainstream.
This looks a bit chewy to me. Use the fork Luke! (Tons more nerdy treats here.)
Now with more Slave Leia! Wonder if she saved that outfit for sexy times with Han or if the memories were too traumatic?
From a Civil War muster ceremony in Ohio, cosplayers dressed in Star Wars, Ghostbusters and Pirates of the Caribbean outfits pose with Union Army reenactors. They fought to free the slaves (in metal bikinis).
Chewbacca as a Unicorn. Chewbaccicorn? I think it's time to leave Star Wars to the die-hards and for us regular folks to stop pretending like we're into it. The same goes for ironic love of ponies and unicorns. Come at me, haters.
Culture Buzz Artist Pixgraff made an adorable series of Star Wars characters from Perler beads. The 8-bit pixelated cuteness is strong with this one.
So this is what happens when you shave your wookiee. The sexual confusion is strong with this one.
Culture Buzz Chewbacca as various celebrity puns, because it's Wookiee Wednesday. Happy Wookiee Wednesday!
I don't think I can play through this blasphemy. Lucas keeps finding ways to propel Star Wars over the proverbial shark.
Culture Buzz Artist Ben Rumback makes nerd icon nubbins out of wee wooden pegs. What adorable choking hazards! If you're looking for last minute gift ideas, all of these and more are available on his Etsy page.
Culture Buzz On the second day of Hanukkah, my true love gave to me, some guys dressed up as Jewish Wookiees. Isn't that how the Hanukkah carol goes?
It all makes sense. George has been fooling us for so many years; the hair and the beard were just a disguise. You couldn't fool us forever, George.
Science Buzz Some dogs look like wookiees. Some dogs are more awesome than other dogs.
Star Wars fan art is typically so much better than Star Wars itself. Case in point, Chewbacca riding a “Purple Rain”-style motorcycle as fireballs plummet on the horizon. Via.
Style Buzz Adidas is selling a coat with a “Chewbacca-inspired shaggy faux-fur-lined hood for looking like a Wookiee.” Chill out, Space PETA…it's faux fur. No Wookiees were skinned to make this coat. If you've got $200 to blow on high nerd fashion, you can buy it here.
