The guy who built this bunk bed is the best dad ever. He built his son an AT-AT themed bunk bed. The only thing my dad ever built me was a crappy ikea entertainment center, that had so many nails in it, it looked like a porcupine with a thousand hard-ons.

I mean look at this thing. It’s actually an AT-AT with a head and everything. Look at the ladder going up to the top. You can get IN it. Awesome.

Building the LEGO Millennium Falcon from Gizmodo on Vimeo.
This isn’t just a video of a Millenium Falcon being built. Oh no. It’s being built by LEGO minifigs. I can’t even imagine the hours that went into the making this video.

And let this be a lesson to you. If you are lazy enough and wait long enough, OTHER PEOPLE do cool stuff and show it to you on the interwebz.

If Tatooine is the ghetto of the Star Wars universe, this is the ghetto blaster of choice. You might see Sandpeople walking the desert, holding this up to their ear after having bought one from a Jawa.

The boombox is the work of artist Bill McMullen. It was part of McMullen’s “Hype, Hustle, Rip-Off” gallery opening. If only all electronics looked this awesome.

Slated for release in 2010, ‘The People vs George Lucas‘ delves into the impassioned feelings and opinions expressed by fans and foes of legendary screen icon George Lucas, and the many debates surrounding his legacy.

No doubt many of you have your own strong opinions about George Lucas. I’ll just express mine here.

That fat flannel wearing jackass raped our childhood! Watching JarJar is like having my anus double fisted by the Hulk. Midi-fucking-chlorians? You raging douchebag!

That feels better and I kept it to just a few lines.

Worth1000.com, the photoshop contest site has an interesting contest where they put Star Wars characters into famous pieces of art. There’s C-3PO in a Da Vinci sketch, a Yoda self portrait, Stormtroopers with nude people, the one above with R2-D2 being offered a can of DW40 and a whole bunch more.

I have a whole new appreciation of Stormtroopers after seeing this sexy Stormtroopers list. Who knew they were so sexy underneath all that armor? It has me thinking about signing up for the Imperial fleet. Some are questionable however. Hit the link for more sexy pics.

Funny? yes. It’s not really newsworthy or world changing though. If you want that shit go to CNN. Cuz when a cabinet sounds like a wookie, I’m all over that shit. It amuses me. I click it over and over again. And so should you.

You might remember when we spotted that Stormtrooper in the Lotus Exige. Looks like Vader is now giving chase in an Ariel Atom. I’m guessing that dude was Luke all dressed up as a Stormtrooper so he could steal a fancy car from the Empire.

The pair of them will likely drive down a death star trench, where Luke has to use the force to shoot down a manhole.

Looks like the Empire is phasing out speeder bikes in favor of this white Lotus Exige. Which makes sense. The car matches the uniform. Sad thing is Palpatine will just tax the hell out of his people to pay for this little upgrade.

But you gotta admit, Stormtroopers look damn good in this vehicle. They’re gonna be getting lots of ass.

These little dolls are amazingly adorable and geekalicious. I want one. Lightsaber battles are great with Matryoshka dolls, because everytime you make a kill, another smaller version of the dude pops out.

These are from artist Matt Brown, who loves him some Russian nesting dolls and classic Star Wars. Funny how bad guys look less menacing in Russian doll form.
