Stormtrooper waiting for a train–funny Star Wars

Ahh, the rat race – everyone has to catch a train to commute to work, even a poor old Star Wars Stormtrooper.

Funny Star Wars Photos–Let the Wookie win

Not much to say about this one. A T-shirt with Star Wars Lego characters battling it out. Good ol’ Chewbacca fighting a couple of Stormtroopers.

The ship that intercepted Han Solo and Chewbacca during their vital Kessel Run was called The Assessor. This was where Han was forced to dump the consignment of spice he was transporting, but was unable to recover it back and supply it to Jabba the Hutt. This put him severely in debt, and forced him to hide out on Tatooine. You know the rest … carbonite etc..

How to make Princess Leia bikini, slave Leia, Jabbas prisoner costume

A little about the costume first. I have read that Carrie Fisher said that her costumes in the first 2 Star Wars movies were so long that people couldn’t tell if she was a woman. Well, the scanty outfit she wore in Return of the Jedi changed that. The Leia bikini was created by Aggie Guerard Rodgers. The costume department made a mold of Carrie Fisher's body so they could do a custom fit and they made forms of the slave bikini to suit different scenes in the movie. One was a hard metal one that she wore when she was not undertaking any stunts and one was made of formed rubber and lined with leather so it would be a bit more comfortable when doing stunts.

Anyway – How to make a Star Wars Princess Leia Metal Bikini

Put on your favourite cute bra then wrap your chest and shoulders in plastic wrap but not tight so it doesn’t flatten your chest, then use cotton cloth strips and watered down PVA glue as a cloth version of papier mache – I guess cloth mache. Get someone to help you as you can’t glue and stand still at the same time. Work fast as it dries fairly quickly.

When it goes hard you'll have a realistic cast of your breasts and chest area. Use a marker pen to make lines where you will build up on the bra with paper clay (you can get it at art shops - it's like a premade papier mache like soft clay) to mould up the raised metal patterns on the bra. Once it's all dry take it off and seal it all over with PVA then paint in metallic paint etc so it looks the part.

The bottom plate you make the same way and then finish it off by sticking two long strips of red, stretchy fabric to it. The strips should be wide enough to cover the insides of the thighs, about 250mm wide The strips should hang from the front and back of the bikini bottom down to the floor. Straps to hold it all together can be made from leather.

For the headpiece, once again, mold one using paper clay on a piece of cardboard.

 

Dark Side Darth pimped out blinged out

Another good drawing, like a linocut drawing. Darth Vader with a bit of gangsta bling!

Some Star Wars trivia - Darth Sidious sent Darth Maul to a planet called Chryya to make sure that the huge spice business on the planet was controlled by the Trade Federation. What happened though was the natives destroyed all the spice-making factories and all the equipment inside which in turn made the economy there worthless. Darth Maul did not foresee this and was punished by Darth Sidious for the massive failure.

Feel The Force–Pulp Fiction style

Cool cult movie Star Wars meets cool cult movie Pulp Fiction. What would the movie had been like if Quentin Tarantino directed Star Wars? Feel the Force, Motherf***er.

painting of boba fett and jango fett

Very nice drawing of boba and jango fett. Can’t remember where I got the pic from , probably a friend emailed to me but thanks to whoever created it.

Boba Fett and the Assassin Droids is the name of the Star Wars galaxy's original talentless band. The band members originated from the planet Adarlon, where they got a fairly steady cult following despite their terrible lack of ability in music. They only ever released singles and Blow'em All Away was there biggest single. It was so bad it has been banned by the Imperial Board of Culture.

Death Star, too big to fail

Death Star, too big to fail. They said that for the Titanic as well didn’t they?
