Remember those annoying Microsoft commercials on the television that had random people saying that “Window 7 was my idea”? I do love Window 7 (but everything is better than Window Vista), but those commercials rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t know why, but it just did. Well, thanks to “sneakyzebra”, we get to see a parody of those commercials that asks the important question of “who’s idea was the Death Star”? Well, so far, Stormtrooper TK-421, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca are all taking credit. I’m not sure why Chewie would be included in that mix, but whatever. It’s just really funny to see a Wookiee speak.
Hit the jump and check out the parody commericals for “The Death Star was my idea”

This is so awesome. Apparel designer/illustrator, Atomic Child (based in Denver, Colorado) newest creation “Teen Wook” is getting the spotlight over at TeeFury. A cool mash-up of ‘Teen Wolf’ and Chewbacca from ‘Star Wars’.
Tired of being relegated to the role of sidekicks, Wookie-kind took their talents to the NBA where their height and team spirit allowed them to earn million-dollar contracts and throngs of adoring fans.
It is pretty obvious that a Wookiee like Chewie would be extraordinary in the NBA. He is big enough to play center and would be amazing on defense. Especially if stacked up against guys like Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic. The problem I see would be the fact that Chewie would probably get ejected from every game for ripping off a ref’s arms and beating him with it for a ball call. Also, no matter what you say, Chewbacca would be a Los Angeles Laker. Trust me on that.
As usual, the ‘Teen Wook’ tee will only be on sale for 24 hours today (March 17, 2011)
Where to buy: TeeFury

Illustrator Bobby Chiu of Imaginism Studios shows us a glimpse of what Chewbacca may have looked like during his youth. Bobby drew “Baby Chewy” during his “Chiu-Stream” sessions where he draws live on USTREAM for fans to watch online.
As a fellow illustrator, I have to say this is probably one of the most adorable pictures I have ever seen of Chewbacca. Everything is perfect, but whats up with the lunch box? How dare you…
