Welsh duo plan ‘Jedi Church.’ Wasn’t that whole census thing supposed to be a joke? Let it go. Please.
Adventures in collecting
From the realm of custom work, this 1/6th Mara Jade figure on eBay is certainly a step up from Barbie. And while the face may not look much like any of the half-dozen Mara variations floating around, at least the hair color is close. (And the fact that she has sleeves pleases my inner fangirl.)
Those with less EU-based collecting tastes may want to take this discerning gentlebeing up on their offer: an Ewok Village playset in exchange for a 12-pack of beer.
And for the fan who has everything: Lightsaber lighting. Oh Lucasfilm, what won’t you authorize?
The $30,000 protocol droid
And he can’t even do your laundry. Yes, it’s a diamond-studded Threepio brooch, taking the concept of ‘geek chic’ just a tad too far. (via)
Video du Jour: Girly man!
I feel the need to apologize in advance for this, but it is October, prime time for Thriller linkage, and it made me laugh so hard: Bollywood Thriller with Captions. (via)
Because what the Expanded Universe really needs is another deus ex machina!
Yes, there are Sacrifice spoilers in the links, so don’t even think about mousing over them if you haven’t read the book. No, I’m not posting any details here, but I gotta quote this:
Lucas Licensing apparently allowed this disaster to happen and now we should call on them to reverse it. The Sith have the power to bring back the dead and so too then does the Force.
Whether it is [CHARACTER] or [CHARACTER] or even someone else I don’t care. I just want [SPOILER] back.
I’m facepalming as hard as I can. Look, being sad/disappointed with the ‘event’ is all well and good, but internet petitions over spilt milk are just silly.
Dear god, why???
A piece of the Opening Ceremonies Birthday cake on eBay. If anyone is stupid enough to bid on this, I might bemoan all the cake that got thrown out… (Thanks to Liz!)
And I thought a $2000 Falcon was nuts
A $250,000 pure-platinum Gundam? That’s insane. (Thanks, McEwok!)
Speaking of the tonguesicle…
Sexually Suggestive Star Wars Candy To Be Marketed To Children! One can always count on Landover Baptist (yes, it’s a parody site) for the lulz.
My eyes! My eyes!
Truly awful Star Wars merchandise. All of which predate the Jar-Jar tonguesicle, and one which horrifies even me. Can you guess which it is? (I know you can.)
LFL’s next lawsuit?
Remember the Universal Life Church’s Jedi Certification? The Arizona Daily Star may have let Lucasfilm in on the secret… And you know what that could mean!
I think I may need an infringement category…
