The Empire is watching U

Unfortunately, this new TIE webcam offered by Wesco LTD has a clip that looks like a butt, or one set of Yarna's boobs. That won't hold us back from adding it to our ultimate collection of Star Wars computer peripherals! (Amazon.uk, via Engadget)

Just How Cute is the Chewbacca Mouse?

This handmade miniature Chewbacca Mouse by Etsy (spotted by i09) is so cute, that it was tested against Ewoks. The Chewbacca Mouse trumped the Ewok's in cuteness so much, it actually made the Ewoks look like ogres. Just see the test results for yourself:

Even in a standalone trial, the Chewbacca Mouse is undeniably cute



= CUTE







But when put side by side with an Ewok, the results are quite clear. Ewoks start looking like slobbering ogres, and the Chewbacca Mouse actually becomes even cuter!





= OGRES









= CUTER






The trial was even performed with baby Ewoks after the beta stage, just to be sure. I think you can guess what the outcome was.





= HIDEOUS










= CUTEST EVAR





No Chewbacca Mice or Ewoks were harmed during this trial (Well, not a lot of Ewoks anyway)

Giant Star Wars Pez dispensers... totally awesome!

Technabob posted this heads-up to the giant Pez dispensers now available at BulkCandyStore. The foot tall Pez dispensers don't just give you a single Pez, they spew out a whole pack at a time! I wanna see Palpatine puke one of these up.

When two perfect worlds collide, or... Star Wars Muppets!

I'm not just talking about Yoda and Salacious Crumb...

Soon we'll have nostalgic figures from the Muppet Show episode from 1980 which featured Mark Hamill (and his cousin Luke Skywalker), as well as the Muppet Star Wars comic featured in a 1983 edition of Muppet Magazine. These babies are mine, as soon as they hit Disney store locations. Starwars.com reports.

More than meets the eye...

That's an understatement. Un-packaging was about 35 percent of time spent. Here's pictures of the Millennium Falcon Transformer from box to fully transformed as per mirax's wishes. Click on any image for humongous view.

Recent and random reportings...

Snow on the ground here in the mountains of the northeast, day off, and a little downtime, so I bringeth forth tidbits regurgitated from the bowels of the web...

Star Wars toys are still among the most popular, and up near the top are Star Wars Lego and Transformer stuff. Color me kid at heart, but the Vader Transformer is totally hot!

Star Wars stuff kids big and small want for the holidays

-------------------------------

Never heard of this company, but it's not like I'm a crazy hardcore gamer. This teaser trailer looked pretty sweet!

Obviously it's not by Lucas Arts, so I dunno if this will be hitting any stores... anywhere.

-------------------------------

I'm currently working through Star Wars Lego: The Complete Saga which is totally rocking. I hadn't really been into gaming at all in recent years (since my friend who had all the consoles moved away :p) but now with my shiny new PS3 I am loving life... when I have the time. I'm currently only about 20% through the game since I'm playing straight through story mode first. About to start Episode V, which is appropriate since snow is now on the ground where I live. Maybe that will help me get into the groove of winter, which I am really resistant to right now. I'll probably dedicate an entry to the game in the future. I just wanted to say that now, I am starving for ALL Star Wars games - more than ever before. Even the once much more wildly popular Star Wars Galaxies. RPG's have always been much lower on my list, but after reading about the new Chapter 7 Galaxies stuff.. of course I want. Now I just need an updated PC and XBox 360. And maybe a couple more jobs to pay for it all. Nah. If I did that I wouldn't have the time to play with them!

Um, did I mention that I started Renegade Squadron on the PSP too? Yeah. Started being the key word. Then Lego Saga entered my life.

Perhaps Lego SW will have to step aside for Lego Batman and Lego Indy! Of course, when Force Unleashed is out, I won't be leaving my PS3 unless absolutely necessary.

-------------------------------

Forget about games - how about real life stuff? The Royal Air Force are on their way to becoming true X-Wing pilots! I wish there were pictures available - RAF fashions helmets after Star Wars. Thankfully they're not making them like the original Battlestar Galactica King Tut helmets :p

-------------------------------

Yoda or Darth Vader slippers? Bah. I want Chewie or Ewok slippers! But when it comes to backbacks, I don't want Chewie. I want a Yoda pack so I can be Luke in training! I don't like the head and face on the Yoda pack tho.

-------------------------------

There's a ton of other Star Wars stuff out there right now, of course as the holidays are upon us. Bleh.

Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son (Happy father's day)

Ha! It's a little after the fact now, but tomorrow I might make a semi-annual pilgrimage to good old Wal-mart for a Star Wars exclusive (pretty much the only reason I'll willingly set foot in Wal-mart).

As announced on starwars.com, a Hasbro toy exclusive for father's day featuring a Vader and Luke figure, and a card to boot, is available only at Wal-mart stores, and "select" stores at that. I already observed father's day with my dad, but if there are any of these left he'll be getting a little something extra in the mail soon. I know he would get a kick out of it. My dad's a fan.

Thanks to Club Jade for the pointer on this, and I agree with Dunc. I want the version with Leia and the torture droid too. Any of you dads get to pick this one up (for yourself)? :)

Come with me. It is the only way... It is your destiny.

*gasps*
