Movie Buzz Han Solo got to do it for free, the lucky sod. All the fun of being locked in stasis with none of the hibernation sickness.
Culture Buzz Every 9 month old needs his own Millennium Falcon. At least, the Karpiuks think so. It took them three months to complete this cardboard and papier-mâché Star Wars prop for their son Liam, but boy, it was worth it for the adorable factor alone.
Culture Buzz Nothing is good and everything hurts. If this isn't an early April Fool's joke (it was posted to YouTube March 29th), the people at LucasArts have some serious explaining to do.
Note to fan artists: Can you mash up Dagobah with The Bog of Eternal Stench next? Thanks.
Culture Buzz An illustration project called Dap Bros, created by artist/Tumblr champion Henry The Worst. I encourage you to make awesome suggestions for HTW in the comments, no idea if he's looking for them.
No, not really, but that'd be pretty cool. Instead we can just pretend with this t-shirt.
From the Star Wars Blu-ray collection, another crumb of footage off George Lucas' editing room floor. Han and Leia exchange some stilted intercourse in a cramped tunnel. The sexual metaphor is strong with this one. (via insidemovies.ew.com)
Delicious vanilla ice cream with a salted caramel swirl and chocolate Han Solos frozen in carbonite. OK so mixing carbonite in ice cream may not be the safest thing but … Ben & Jerry, please make an edible version of this happen. Thanks. (via helablog.com)
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.
Redditor tanasarnt says: “I'm sitting in my cube at work snacking on a bag of Kettle Brand Buffalo Bleu potato chips. I'm about to bring one to my mouth but stopped cold … as if some outside force (forgive me) was blocking me.”
Now you know what scruffy looking nerf-herders do in their spare time. (via reddit.com)
Culture Buzz It doesn't get any geekier than this: British company R9 Studios has made $2050 cold-cast aluminum coffee tables of a carbonite Han Solo and Millennium Falcon. Something tells me whoever buys these isn't going to let anyone put their feet up. (Via)
Han Solo: Space pilot for hire. What can dingy grey do for you? By Fernando Degross.
Oh 1950s instructional video audio. You so silly.
Actually, Han and Leia Carson Solo don't get married until four years after Jedi. Expanded universe canon is on the wiki guys! Gawd.
This settles it, once and for all. Mrs. Greedo is going to have to finish Solo. With her Han. I'm not a proud person.
Now with more Slave Leia! Wonder if she saved that outfit for sexy times with Han or if the memories were too traumatic?
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.
Movie Buzz A long time ago in countries far, far away, these Star Wars movie posters were hung. Apparently West Africa is a big fan of the television movie, “Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.”
Perfect. Right down to that anguished expression. Who knew crocheting could be so nuanced?
Culture Buzz Valentine's Day cards featuring some iconic couples are the proof for something we already knew - opposites attract! Happy Valentine's Day …
Culture Buzz A photographer in Williamsburg, Henry Hargreaves, refashions snow-entombed Brooklyn into the ice planet Hoth from “The Empire Strikes Back.” If you're stranded in Williamsburg, don't slice open a hipster's belly for warmth. And you thought they smelled bad on the outside.
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.
Translated into whatever language it is that Jabba belches out. Regardless, your heart will melt even if it's frozen in carbonite.
The unofficial music video for MC Chris' surprisingly catchy hit dedicated to everyone's favorite smuggler and “reckless mercenary”, Han Solo. I love this so much. I want MC Chris to make a rap for every Star Wars character.
