Wacky merchandise: Star Wars scrapbooking

March 4th, 2010 by Dunc · 1 Comment

Reader Rebel Without A Cause spotted this Star Wars scrapbooking paper, and it didn’t take much poking around to find some kits and even instant albums. I’m sure there are some traditional scrapbookers who’ve jumped on these, but I can think of plenty of uses outside the box.

Poll: The inevitable Halloween question and link-up

Halloween by Ralph Hockens (rhockens @ Flickr) CC BY-SA 2.0

We’ve been hearing that Star Wars costumes were a hot ticket this year. (Even at the White House.) Above, an amazing AT-ST spotted by Ralph Hockens in New York City. (Another shot here.) There are plenty of shots on Flickrfar too many to link – and StarWars.com has a roundup of their coverage, including action figure costumes.

My internet favorite has to be Darth Vader and the Death Star, though.

But our question is: How many did you see? Answer below or on the sidebar.

How many Star Wars partiers/trick-or-treaters did you see on Saturday?

Some last-minute Star Wars Halloween costume ideas

October 30th, 2009 by Dunc · No Comments

SpoooookyStarWars.com’s Bonnie Burton has a guest-post up over at io9 with a variety of tips and tricks for DIY Star Wars costumes from all around the internet.

I’ve always been fond of the quick and easy Jedi robe. Sure, it won’t get you into the Rebel Legion or anything, but it’s easy and instantly recognizable, and what more does one really need out of a Halloween getup? (And if you pair it with some of those old-school printable masks, like Yoda up there, actually kinda creepy.)
