I’m not a huge collector of plushes, but these are pretty bad ass. Comic Images has been making ‘Star Wars’ plushes and back packs for a while now. They made super-deformed plushes of characters such as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca. Their collection has become pretty big now and I guess the next step is to make plushes of iconic vehicles from Star Wars. The first series will feature super-deformed X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, and the Imperial AT-AT. Out of the group, I think the AT-AT might be the coolest, but my opinion is a bit bias so whatever. Regardless, these awesome plush will be available in June for $12.99 a piece. I hope Comic Images makes a Death Star and Slave I plush. Now THAT would be cool.

Yes, I do realize these were out in 2007, but I didn’t know about them and I figure why not post these on iGT. There must be others like myself who doesn’t know about these amazing ‘Star Wars’ steampunk art by Eric Poulton. Poulton may have been the first to put the steampunk spin on our favorite characters from Star Wars. Unlike Bjorn Hurri’s designs which was more animated, these have a much different feel and texture to it. Featured in black and white, Poulton’s steampunk Star Wars collection seems more like something you might see in a dream and much more Victorian-like (I hope that makes sense). One of my favorites from this collection has to be “Captain Ackbar” and “Massive Solar-Orbiting Electro-Mechanical Analytic Engine, Mark 6″. There is something about these illustrations that I find very whimsical and vibrant even though it lacks color. I think the black and white theme works in it’s advantage. Even though its over 5 years late, it still amazing to look at!
Hit the jump and check out Eric Poulton’s Star Wars steampunk collection!

Remember back in March when I featured a video of a little girl named Sariah Gallego at Disneyland who decided to turn her back on the Jedis and swear her allegiance to Darth Vader and the Dark Side? Well, since than the video has gone viral and the world wants to know more about the “Sith Girl”. Well, thanks to actress and ‘Star Wars’ geek, Jennifer Landa (@jenniferlanda) was able to track Sariah down and spend some time with her at her home. Considering I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the video that maybe someone made her kneel down in front of Vader during the “Jedi Academy” stage show, it has become obvious that it was all Sariah’s idea. From the age of three (now eight), Sariah has been a Star Wars fan just like her family and since her lover affair with Star Wars, she has decided that her main goal in life is to kill Darth Vader and take his place as the Master Sith Lord just like her hero, Darth Talon did. Her love for Star Wars also gave birth to SithGirl.com (under construction) where young girls who love the Darkside can visit to talk about Star Wars and also watch future vlogs from Sariah. It is obvious that Sariah and her family will be taking full advantage of their newfound notoriety with a new website and apparel line. From the looks of it, the future is looking very bright (or dark) for the next generation of Star Wars geek girls.
You can follow Jennifer Landa on Tumblr and YouTube! Hit the jump and check out Jennifer’s interview with “Sith Girl”, Sariah Gallego.

There are people that love him. There are people that hate him. Steve Jobs is the face of Apple and he pretty much takes all the praise or criticism when it comes to Apple’s newest gadgets such as the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. So you can pretty much say that Steve Jobs is “public enemy number one” to Apple’s rivals. Well, what if they had put out a bounty on Jobs’ head and Boba Fett was sent out to capture him. Well, I’m pretty sure Boba Fett would get the job done (no pun intended) and would neatly hand over Jobs incased in carbonite. I guess this is why Greg Koenig’s “Steve Jobs in Carbonite” cracks me up. A beautiful merger between ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Apple’, this iPhone 4 case is sure to be a hit for all fans. If you aren’t into getting the iPhone case, you can also get it as a print, shirt, sticker, and more.

Just when I thought Rebecca Black’s terrible song, “Friday” was wiped from my memories, the team at Teddie Films’ smacks me in the face with a ‘Star Wars’ parody titled “Primeday”. Primeday, of course is one of the days in the week in the Star Wars universe and Teddie Film does a remarkably bad (in a good way) spoof for Black video that went viral. Everything that you expect from “Friday” such as terrible lyrics and ridiculous chorus is all found in “Primeday”. Maybe they did a too good of a job on this parody because I’m starting to get annoyed half way through it.

I find that the Force is incredibly strong with the next generation of ‘Star Wars’ geek girls. A way whiles back, we introduced you to the Sith friendly Sariah Gallego, and now, meet Elle. A three year old wiz who knows your Star Wars characters and vehicles like her ABCs. In the video, her dad (I presume) has his daughter go through a Star Wars pop up book and crank out the names of various characters, creatures, locations, and vehicles in the original trilogy. It would be already impressive for her to recognize characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and R2-D2, but she is able to take it even further and point on lesser and more obscure people, places, and things such as Wedge Antilles, Rancors, Tatooines, and more. I adore the part where Elle hums the iconic music played by “Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes” in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine. All I can say that the future looks bright for Star Wars fans and geek girls alike and I need to ask my wife is… can we have a daughter like Elle? Hummmm?
Hit the jump and prepare to be taken to school by Elle, the three year old Star Wars geek!

On April 1st, ThinkGeek put together a pretty hilarious April Fool’s joke for a fake Star Wars Lightsaber popsicle maker. One of the best parts of the joke was definitely the commercial featuring Darth Vader selling Imperial ice cream out of an old fashion ice cream truck. One of the things that fans took notice was the ice cream menu on the truck. We can roughly make out the items in the video, but what we didn’t know was that there was a dozen different Star Wars icy treats on that truck. Due to the demands of their customer and fans, ThinkGeek released the artwork of the Star Wars ice cream menu. Everything from “Admiral Snackbar”, “TIE Biters”, and “Falcon Fudgebar” is humorously illustrated on the menu. My favorite definitely has to be “Jabba the Push-Up” and “Wampa Claw”. I don’t know about you, but I could really go for a vanilla ice cream sandwich and a viewing of ‘Empire Strikes Back’!
