Star Wars Episode VII: Weird Crazy and Absurd

'Snow White and the Seven Stormtroopers' (thumper-011 at deviantart.org)

To mash up two wildly different movie quotes: I wish I knew how to quit Star Wars, but just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. This time, it's prompted by a collection posted at online magazine Dark Roasted Blend, which has rounded up a massive amount of links under the all-encompassing theme Star Wars for Your Mind, Heart and Soul.

I knew that SciFi Squad readers had recently voted Star Wars the best sci-fi movie franchise of all time in The Ultimate Sci-Fi Fan Poll, but with all due respect, the true mark of admiration and/or inspiration and/or madness is to spend time and money creating Boba Fett's full-size armor out of LEGO. Or crafting the Millennium Falcon out of a single sheet of paper. Some things are in questionable taste: the charred remains of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, packaged in plastic as a toy. Then there are the mash ups, like Snow White and the Seven Stormtroopers. Professional creations are not ignored, like original concept art by the great Ralph McQuarrie, which makes The Empire Strikes Back look like an old Republic Western, or a series of recent theme park advertisements featuring our favorite characters dealing with the logistics of modern travel.

Watch This: Boba Fett Does Flashdance

Filed under: Comedy », Fandom », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Trailers and Clips »



Only because I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars yesterday and need a video to accurately sum up how this one fits in with the rest of the franchise. Ahem. Not that I thought Clone Wars was horrific, pointless or catastrophic -- I just thought there were some choices that might, um, upset a few Star Wars fans ... and we'll leave it at that ... "Punky muffin." Okay, I'm done -- saving it for the review later this week.

In honor of the lighter side of Star Wars returning to theaters this Friday, check out this pretty impressive stop-motion video above featuring everyone's favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett (in action figure form) as he reenacts that classic scene from the film Flashdance. That is, until he has some jet pack issues (foreshadowing??) and, well, I won't spoil it for you. Gotta love The Fett!

Oh, and don't forget to participate in our Are You Excited About New Star Wars Poll. Unfortunately, as of now, it seems the majority isn't very excited. Get excited people!
