    Your Stormtrooper getup works great for conventions with A/C, but what do you do in the dead of summer? That plastic doesn't breathe. Luckily, Jakks Pacific is releasing a large line of Star Wars inflatables. More »

    X-Wing Red Five Is Most Detailed Model Ever

    This is the biggest and most accurate X-Wing model since the movies. In fact, each of the thousand units made from resin, aluminum and LEDs were created from a digitally-scanned original Red 5 miniature body. Update: EFX Collectibles has sent us amazing high definition pictures so you can see all the amazing detail. More »

    X-WIng Sled is Porkins' Transport of Choice in Tahoe

    We've had X-Wing Fighters that go up and down; here's an X-Wing that just goes down. The venue was Minneapolis' Powderhorn Park, and the event was Minneapolis' annual Art Sled rally. Photographer Tony Nelson took pictures of the day, including a rather spanky la-la double robot one, which you can see below, alongside another shot of the X-Wing after its tumble in the snow. More »

    Steampunk LEGO TIE Fighter Beats the Crap Out of X-Wing, Shows Amazing Vision of Star Wars Universe

    This TIE Fighter, and the X-Wing after the jump, is what happens when you put together Star Wars, LEGO and steampunk in the title of a contest. That and a collective geekgasm. Truth is, as fun as the official Star Wars LEGO models are, home-made models like this steampunk TIE Fighter have a charm that the former can't achieve. The most amazing thing, however, is the source of inspiration for some of these: More »

    Video: The Rocket-Powered X-Wing's Flight...and Death

    You might have seen the liftoff, but here's a video of the day we spent in the desert, awaiting the first (and explosively final) launch of the 1/2 scaled rocket-powered X-Wing fighter. I cried a little when it went down. (Turn up the volume, there's some good dialog drowned out by the din of burning baltic birch hitting the sand.) Reporting and video by James Lee. Updated with more on the event by James: More »

    Honda Civic Del Sol X-Wing Starfighter

    Hot diggity damn. This Honda Del Sol was completely converted into a X-Wing Starfighter from Star Wars. Good thing the Del Sol is only a two-seater because there would be no way to haul around all of the babes in this ride. Hit the link for more pictures. –Travis Hudson More »
