Wow. Just wow. And it only cost $150 to install.

Disguised as a bookcase holding the owner's Star Wars collectibles and knick-knacks, the shelving can be pushed to reveal a hidden home cinema. On the other side of that door lays the best part—Han Solo himself. Whatever this guy does for a living should be given up pronto, as I'd be willing to fling him a few dollars to build me a secret room. [Instructables via TechEblog]

<![CDATA[Han Solo Encased in Guacamole is a Delicious Twist on Star Wars]]> This gigantic bowl of guacamole is titled "He's no guac to me dead." It contains 50 avocadoes worth of guac and one happy Han Solo.

The body was created using a plastic torso I found at a used mannequin/store display shop downtown. It only went down to the top of the thigh, so I had to build out the rest of his legs to the knees using molded chicken wire. The hands were tough... If I knew used male mannequin hands would be so tough to find on a whim, I would've used eBay. Given that I was running out of time, one hand was made using one of those articulated wooden artist's hands you can buy at an art store, and covered it in papier mache. The other hand, not nearly as nice, was foil covered in papier mache, and had to do for now.

<![CDATA[Han Solo In Carbonite USB Drive Was Too Good To Last]]> This USB drive featuring Han Solo frozen in carbonite was so cool (cute? weird?) that it sold out in five days, apparently before we could even write about it. I am a fan of the cartoony style crafted by jasonscreations, likely without the permission of Big George. All I can say is, I hope Jason makes more of 'em. Meanwhile, the action figure of Solo's woman in bounty hunter guise is not part of the deal, but since you can't buy any of it, the point is moot. Jump for a closeup of the drive. [Etsy - Thanks Brandon!] Update: OK, so they're apparently pieces from a Hasbro set. Still cute as hell and a USB drive I, for once, wouldn't lose. Somebody make more!

<![CDATA[Irony: Boba Fett Cast In Carbonite (Well, Bronze) For the Wanton Pleasure of Others]]> An artist named Scott recently cast a Boba Fett PEZ dispenser in bronze using the lost-wax process, and ended up (I think accidentally) giving it a "battle scar" that would make George Lucas proud. It's haunting, seeing that lifeless helmet stare out at the world, moving only when the cruel and greedy snap back its neck for a tasty treat. It may be a fate better than the Sarlacc pit, but it's an irony that I'm sure would tickle Han Solo. [Geekologie]

<![CDATA[Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Desk Reminds You That Someone Has it Worse]]> Hate doing your taxes? Balancing your checkbook? Grinding for loot in World of Warcraft? Just take a look at Han's face to know that someone has it even worse than you. As painful as it is to look through all your receipts from the last year, it's much worse to have all the cells in your body lowered to such a temperature that you make that face. You know the one. If you want one of these desks, and we bet you do, you'll have to ask Tom Spina Designs to create one for you. Money will be involved. [Therpf via Boing Boing]
