Quotables. Alice in Wonderland producer Richard D. Zanuck calls George Lucas “the Thomas Edison of our time.”

Weequay Thranta Fambaa. A girl on German game show can ID Lego action figures with her mouth. That’s a skill that’ll take her far. (via)

Under the stars. Take a peek at this Star Wars nursery.

Well, it is kind of true. Yoda is one of Cracked’s 6 famous movie wisemen who were totally full of shit.

This Mara Jade minifig is a custom creation of Andrew Becraft, aka Dunechaser, one of the contributors over at The Brothers Brick. (He has a Kyle Katarn, too.)

Or death? Cake Wrecks went on a Star Wars twofer last week. First the bad cakes, then the good ones. At right, one of the more disturbing cakes, which I’m pretty sure is what happens when Yoda mates with a certain fertility idol.

• Events: R2-D2 Builders and more at Texas Build Off 2009. Meanwhile, last weekend Star Wars LEGO fans took over San Diego’s LEGOland. Get started on those pics at The Brothers Brick.

• Humor: If villains used internet forums.
• T-shirts: Bow-Tie Fighter. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

Madness! Artist and Lego maestro Craig Stevens recently finished a minifig scale Rebel Blockade Runner that measures in at a whooping twelve feet long. And that’s only one of his Star Wars creations, which also includes the Millennium Falcon. (via)

So Gizmodo claims, anyway. We’re not Rebelscum, so I have no idea. Nice eye candy, anyway.

I hate to use the term ‘scrapping the bottom of the barrel,’ but LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary? DK, I’m sure you can come up with something better than that. (via)
