Wow. Who and how did this behind-the-scene video from ‘Return of the Jedi’ hit the web? The video features puppeteer, Tim Rose testing out a Admiral Ackbar puppet by moving the mouth to match with the word “penetrate”. Now, I do have to ask how the word “penetrate” will help with performing with a puppet, but I’m not a master puppeteer so what would I know. All I know is the Admiral Ackbar constantly saying “penetrate” seems a bit dirty. Who knew that Ackbar was a sexual deviant?!
Hit the jump and check out this disturbing video!

Holy crap this is so freaking awesome. Some awesome bastard created a stop-motion flick that retells the whole ‘Star Wars’ original trilogy story (A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, in LEGO form in two minutes. Whats makes this fan-made film so awesome has to be three things. First, the pace is quick and straight to the point. Even though about six hours was condensed down to two minutes, the most important parts are included. Second, the narration was hilarious. I don’t know who the kid was that did the narration, but someone get him a job! Third, the iconic music of Star Wars redone on an electric guitar was a nice touch. I definitely enjoyed the nice rifts they got going in the beginning and ending. Now, stop reading and hit the jump and enjoy this awesome fan-made stop motion Star Wars film!

I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! I love old school video games like Donkey Kong. I love Star Wars. Thanks to Threadless and Carlos Escarrega (AKA Yimbo), I might get the opportunity to enjoy both of those loves in one t-shirt. As usual, Threadless is asking its loyal fans about which illustration they wish to see on a shirt. Yimbos entry, “Return of the Bit” is a humorous mash up of the epic scene from Star Wars Return of the Jedi where Luke Skywalker and Han Solo is trying to save Princess Leia from the greasy grips of Jabba the Hutt with the iconic ladder and barrel tossin’ game of Donkey Kong. Yimbo illustrates a worm like Donkey Kong fashioned to look like Jabba with a less than sexy Leia in her slave outfit. Unfortunately, Leia looks like a guy with a pony tail rather than a hot princess in a bikini, but who cares! It’s a pretty funny shirt and I hope Yimbo gets the nod to have his great illustration graced on a shirt on Threadless.
