My mom rarely got creative when she made my lunch. I think once or twice she pulled off a crustless star (which sort of sucked, because I fucking loved the crust), but about 99.99% of the time, my sandwiches were limited to the diagonal or vertical cut. Either way, it still tasted the same. Now that I’ve got another woman ...

Star Wars Blaxploitation: Blackstar Warrior, the Lando Calrissian Story
First there was Shaft. Then there was Huggy Bear and Mr. T. And in some parallel fictional universe, Lando Calrissian finally gets a piece of the spotlight, after decades of playing second fiddle to Han Solo’s scrounging ways. Blackstar Warrior is the story of Lando Calrissian and his ascent from smuggler to gas mining entrepreneur and eventually a general. The ...
Read More »Are These The Droids You Were Looking For?
This is why Facebook was invented. The entire progression of the Facebook UI has led up to this moment. I expect Mark Zuckerberg will announce the discontinuation of the site’s development later on in the day, having finally reached their ultimate goal. Facebook’s a hell of a drug. As I’ve said before, I’m not much of a Facebook gamer, but ...
Read More »All of Chewbacca’s Dialogue from Star Wars
The language of the Wookiee is one filled with mysteries. I’m not quite sure where Han Solo found the time to learn the ins-and-outs of the finer linguistics of Chewbacca’s native tongue, but he found a way. I’d personally love to learn the language, but I can’t even generate even the most simple of guttural Wookiee sounds, even with proper ...
Read More »Star Wars Cupcakes Are From an Oven Far, Far Away
Including all of your favorite Star Wars characters (except Han. Carbonite wasn’t deemed edible enough. But really, whoops!), these Star Wars Cupcakes by Flickr user Iclllc are even worthy of entering the confines of my sacred stomach. For free. Feel honored, I charge tapeworms $1500 a month for that honor. Or my doctor does. I just get to maintain this ...
Read More »Because It’s (Almost) Friday: Chewbacca Riding a Squirrel and Battling Nazis
Little known fact: without the aid of the Wookiee army of Kashyyyk, it’s very likely that the U.S. and the allied forces would have been unable to control the Nazi advancement. While the Wookiee’s intervention is still kept out of most textbooks, most historians have come to accept our nasty little secret. But why would Chewbacca choose to help little ...
Read More »Lichtenstein-Inspired Star Wars Pop Art
Inspired by the 1963 pop art piece “Whaam,” Deviantart user bergie81 created this awesome Roy Lichtenstein-inspired Star Wars print. And besides that, bergie81 is even offering a high-quality PDF of the vector art piece absolutely free, which is more than we can say about other artists on the internetz. This Rebel fighter is one bad-ass. You’ve gotta be bad to ...

I guess if you’re not gifted with a feel for The Force like I am, you have to rely on other methods of balancing your spiritual and physical prowess. It’s totally understandable. Not everybody can be a student of the Jedi ways. But it’s still important to keep on your toes. You just never know when your planet might be ...
Read More »Han Solo in Carbonite Throw Blanket
Woven with a blend of soft cotton and Harrison Ford’s pubic hair (only one of these is made up), the 52″ x 68″ Han Solo in Carbonite Throw doubles as a blanket or a wall decoration. Plus, it’s officially licensed, so… yeah, bragging rights, baby. You can pre-order the throw now for $59.99. The ship date is expected to be ...
Read More »Darth Vader Blinds Unveil the Dark Side
Natural lighting. Vader’s not a fan. Over at the Rebelscum Forum, TheMadman was selling these airbrushed mini-blinds for $75 or best offer. Whichever came first. The forum entry was from May, so the blinds have probably been long gone, but it’s unclear if they ever sold or not. So, what the hell, it’s worth a shot right? The blinds themselves ...
