Artist Travis English made these amazing minimalist posters for all six Star Wars films. They’re good enough to make you want to watch the series through. Yes, this does mean sitting through The Phantom Menace again, but it almost seems worth it. Almost! Read more

I suck at ‘laundry basketball,’ I always miss. Good thing French designer Pierre Vedel has created this simple cardboard backboard, inspired by the sarlacc pit in Star Wars, that you can build yourself out of cardboard.

A Darth Vader action figure riding a kitten like it’s a tauntaun? Sure, why not. I just hope he doesn’t wind up cutting it open to make a sleeping bag.

It’s baby Chewbacca! That’s all I can say apart from D’awww! Does anyone else wonder if this is just a regular baby that was born a little hairy? ‘He is a Wookie baby, fashioned after Chewbacca from Star Wars. I have never seen a baby Wookie but I imagine they are probably somewhat like a puppy given that they are born lighter and get darker as they get older’. Let the bidding way commence! Read more

Would it be racist if I did one of these videos with R2D2 as a Chinese dude? P.S. I am a Chinese dude, so don’t get mad.

Every child either wants to be a Disney princess or be with one (maybe even both). Artist Tim Shumate appeals to the latter with his Tattooed Princesses’ series: a collection of Disney favourites transformed into pinup bombshells. And if sci-fi is more your thing, he’s also done a smouldering Princess Leia just for you. Read more

The title of Best Mom Ever has officially been won. Julie made her babies these Star Trek and Star Wars felt activity books. With a couple of tribbles, er, quibbles, I have to say these are possibly the only books a toddler could ever need. Now I understand the hipster fetish for Mormon Mommy Blogs. Sign me up for adoption. Read more

Ever notice that Spoonful of Sugar and The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme) are eerily similar? This mash-up from statikluft combines video and audio from Mary Poppins and Star Wars, making a creepily convincing case that the beloved nanny may have a dark side. YouTube artist Stephanie Boone also contributes a chorus (along with Julie Andrews, of course.)

The amount of fan tributes to Star Wars must eclipse that of any other nerd extravaganza of the past thirty years. But of all them, this is the one scene that we wished had actually been in Mr Lucas’ imagination. Not too late for an edit?

Artist Bodie Dennis ‘recently stumbled upon these unfinished mashups while cleaning out’ his archives. We’re buzzed that he did. May the force be with them indeed. Read more

Have you always wanted to see a steampunk re-imagining of Star Wars? A feudal Japan Star Wars? Western Star Wars? Whatever obscure Star Wars crossover you secretly write fan fiction about, a guy called Silloff has the accompanying action figures.

Hailing from Waterloo, Iowa, freelance illustrator and designer Michael B. Myers Jr. has created this epic series of pixel Star Wars posters. We love. Read more

I was as big a Star Wars fan as anyone else who grew up in the ’80s and I have fond memories of those films, but my enthusiasm for the franchise didn’t survive the first prequel. I honestly felt like George Lucas thought he could get away with spewing garbage across the screen because of how much mileage he got out of the original trilogy, and I could genuinely sense his disdain for his audience. This is why posts like this open letter to Mr. Lucas make me smile inside. He’s a jerk.

The hangar in the Death Star was one of my favorite design elements in Star Wars, so I’m really stoked someone paid homage to it in the form of a LEGO replica. Read more
Architect and artist Paul Laffoley diagrams esoteric and convoluted theories, philosophies, and spiritual concepts with his large-scale crypto-mythic paintings. Read more
3fram.es is a website made by Eyebeam fellow Aaron Meyers. It uses your computer’s webcam to take a series of pictures and uploads them into the site’s always-growing gallery of animated gifs. There’s an iPhone app for it, too, which we used to document moments of our last tour. Gifs are great because they’re way smaller than movie files, and they’re more exciting than still images.
How old must Kermit be now? Not to old to collaborate with skater-friendly retailer Supreme and photographer Terry Richardson. Kermit, who usually wears nothing, has been hooked up with some new threads to advertise the brand. It seems Kermit and Terry are the perfect work partners: they’ve even released a video clip documenting the shoot.
This is a house near Adelaide by architect Max Pritchard designed like a bridge (it’s actually built over a creek) to feel airy and unobtrusive in the surrounding nature. Read more
The Big Picture’s photo essays are some of the best around: insightful, timely and often confronting in the way great photo essays are. Complementing The Big Picture is The Big Caption, a parody site ‘wherein jokes and statements are made using typography’. Sometimes insightful and always snarky, it pairs poignant photography with blunt observations using a thread of hostility. Read more
Pre-eminent Norwegian Viking metal band Enslaved has evolved over the years from a straight-forward black metal band into a moody, post-rock outfit without completely abandoning their roots. Their last few albums have seen a shift towards English lyrics, sweeping and majestic instrumentals, and diverse influences — everything from Pink Floyd and ’70s prog and psych rock to ’80s goth and shoegaze pop.

If zombies had no teeth, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have our body parts in their mouths. These plush zombie slippers simulate that very experience.
