DIY Lightsaber Makes Attacking Whiny Jedi Nerds More Authentic

For those of us that saw footage of the drunken Darth Vader attack and found ourselves slightly disappointed by the... well... un-Star Wars-like nature of the Sith Lord's weapon, Instructables has a DIY kit to ensure that our next drunken rampage is truly worthy of the Dark Side. More »

Actual Video of Drunk Darth Vader Attacking Jedi

Remember the case of the drunkard dressing up as Vader and beating some Jedi-wannabees with a crutch? Here's the vid. I can't believe someone got charged with assault for this. Footage of the actual attack just takes all the juice away from the tale. I mean, in the old days, you had to take off someone's arm or head, or scorch their Jedi robes at least. Kids these days.

Darth Vader Given Arrest Warrant, Pleads Guilty to Assault

After Darth Vader kicked a Jedi Master's ass with the Dark Side of the Crutch, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant against the Lord of the Sith. After dictating it, he added: "I hope the force will soon be with him" (really—God save the Judge, Queen, and English humor.) Vader arrived later, pleading guilty to assault. During the trial, however, the court found that the events weren't exactly as we were initially told: the Jedis were actually even more moronic than previously imagined. More »

Darth Vader Kicks Jedi Master's Ass With Crutch

A drunk guy dressed as Darth Vader, wielding a metal crutch, and probably making sounds like *swwoooshh* and *pew*pew*, assaulted and effectively kicked the ass of the founder of the first Jedi Church of England. The dork, a hairdresser called Barney Jones whose Jedi name is Master Hehol, was beaten down in his garden by the anonymous Vader while he was being interviewed for a documentary. Really. We mean this. The Jedi actually had this to say after the assault:

Samurai Stormtroopers Hunt Down and Exterminate Ninja Jedis

If Star Wars took place in Japan and Jedis were ninjas, this is what Stormtroopers would hunt them down in during the Great Jedi Purge. They're obviously smarter than the average clone, too, since they're too dumb and clumsy to wield katana. Created by artist Yoshi Isao and on display at Gift Show 2008 in Tokyo, Giz Japan brings us this follow-up to his rendition of Darth Vader as Dark Lord of the Shogun. [Yoshitoku via Giz Japan]

Jedi Ginsu Knife Brings Out the Chef/Jedi in You

Have you had enough of lightsabers? Wasn't the breakdown of how we roll on Thanksgiving enough to keep you entertained? Wasn't the synopsis of why Superman would be futile to a lightsaber attack enough to fill your Jedi/lightsaber/superhero demand for the week? Are those two questions the stupidest you have ever been asked? Should I stop with all the damn questions, and let you just watch the Ginsu Jedi lightsaber commercial? Yeah, I'll just do that.

NY Jedi School Trains Lightsaber Enthusiasts (To Be Bigger Geeks)

We'd heard of the NY Jedi School before—for those who haven't, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like—but we'd never seen a class in action until we spotted this clip on ABC. Given that lightsabers don't actually exist, we were confused just how the...logistics...worked out. Now we know. And yes, it's every bit as dorky as we dreamed (or nightmared) it would be.

Metal Japanese Star Wars USB Drive

If you love C3PO more than the baby Jesus, you might want to wear this fancy metallic USB drive around your neck instead of that old cross granny gave you. It comes with a leather strap, looks like man-jewelry, and holds 256MB of memory. You can pick from the following: C3PO and R2D2 in 3D, Darth Vader and Jedi in a black and silver print, or Clone Trooper and Bobba Fett in etched metal. What, no Han Solo in Carbonite? More »

MacBook, or Lethal Jedi Weapon?

Few people will deny that the Apple's MacBook and MacBook Pro are two pretty decent machines. Yet, how many of these people are willing to transform their fancy new computers into a whooshing and whirring Jedi-inspiried weapon of doom? Thanks to MacSaber, nerds everywhere will get the chance to do just that. More »
