Star Wars Rebels Just Sent Shockwaves Across The Entire Star Wars Galaxy

This was the kind of Star Wars Rebels episode I truly love. One that added a whole new layer of mystery to not just the show, but the Star Wars universe as a whole. And this mystery has to do with Inquisitors. Last season, a single Inquisitor was the primary adversary of the Rebels. This…

That Remote Control R2-D2 Mini Fridge Is Going To Cost You Over $8,000

Did you hear that? That’s the sound of thousands of disappointed Star Wars fans who just realized that a life-size remote control R2-D2 refrigerator that can deliver them drinks will never be theirs. Unless they can find a way to justify spending $8,000+ on a tiny fridge that can only chill six cans. First revealed…

The Heroes and Villains Of The Force Awakens Are Being Turned Into Lego Figures

Earlier this year, Lego announced a line of “Constraction” Star Wars toys—Bionicle-esque poseable figures that you built out of Lego pieces. It’s perhaps not surprising to hear that the line is being updated with characters from The Force Awakens, but now we’ve got a good look at what these figures look like! We’ve seen the…

You Might Not Be Able To See Star Wars: The Force Awakens Dressed As Your Favorite Character

Part of any huge film premiere these days includes people showing up in costume—and The Force Awakens is going to be no exception, as Jedi, Sith, Stormtroopers and Smugglers take to the streets on December 18th.

Where The Hell is Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

One person was conspicuously absent from last week’s final poster and trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Luke Skywalker is becoming perhaps the most central mystery about Episode VII. The only surprise is that it’s taken so long to start asking: Where is Luke? Warning: Some spoilers and a lot of speculation ahead… When…

This Star Wars Game Trailer Is Everything We Want From Life

EA just released a new trailer for their upcoming Star Wars game, and it looks amazing. Well, we already thought it did—but if you didn’t know Battlefront was a video game, this just looks like a crazy Star Wars trailer. Boba Fett! Leia! The Emperor! Oh, this looks fun. Battlefront will be out November 17th.

No, Maybe This is the Best Boba Fett Figure Ever Made

A while ago, I called Revoltech’s Boba Fett figure the best plastic Bounty Hunter around. I might be wrong though—because Medicom has just shown up with an awesome rival figure that might just take the title for itself. https://gizmodo.com/this-might-be-the-best-boba-fett-figure-ever-1692341656 Medicom’s MAFEX Boba Fett is in the 1:12 scale, so stands at around 6.3” tall.

So You Want To Join The Empire: Connecting All The Dots

We’ve talked a lot about gluing and piecing together armor throughout the course of this thread. Now, it’s time to start getting it assembled to wear. Some parts of the armor are just worn because they’re closed together: forearms, legs, and so forth. Other parts require some slightly different connective tissue: strapping. In my older…

Here’s How To Build Your Child The Best Stormtrooper Costume Ever

Store-bought costumes are always a bit … lacking.

Canadians rejoice: in 2016, the next installment of the Star Wars saga will be available to stream on Netflix. According to Variety, The Force Awakens will hit Netflix in Canada “approximately eight months after the movie leaves theaters.” Why Canada? Apparently it comes down to prior agreements.
