Alright, here is the rest of the galactic shoe collection: Star Wars by Adidas | It's Hyssop Lounge
The collection for the first season is split into three packs — The Characters Pack, the Vehicles Pack and the Direct Pack. The products in each pack take inspiration from the respective aspect of the Star Wars lexicon from legendary characters and crafts to classic scenes and fuse them with iconic adidas Originals silhouettes. The pieces will begin to hit all adidas Originals stores and other select retailers in January. Also, look out for a very special web application announcing the adidas and Star Wars collaboration which will hit the internet within the next couple of weeks. Below is an overview of the products within each pack. http://i47.tinypic.com/zwaqfp.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/vytitx.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2j3603s.jpg |
Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) {It was also featured by Fremen in this thread} scenario: "My friend Amanda had never seen a whole Star Wars film. When I asked her if she wanted to watch the original trilogy she said that she would, but that she already knew what happens. So I took out my voice recorder and asked her to start from the top." |

Also came across a few posts that link into the topic, courtesy of the Los Angeles Anime Convention, 2010: Cosplay Action at Anime. L.A. - Los Angeles - Slideshows http://i47.tinypic.com/w12muq.jpg Star Wars car (and the empire symbol that Fire was talking about) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Shogun Vader, the Ultimate Cardboard Cosplay - Los Angeles Art - Style Council http://i49.tinypic.com/fk1obb.jpg For those who look down upon the idea of using cardboard in your cosplay, we suggest checking out this ridiculously cool Shogun Vader design created by Alexander Lam. We first met Lam at Tune in Tokyo's New Year's Eve party and then bumped into him poolside at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott during Anime L.A. last weekend. He's a member of L.A. Jedi, a non-profit performance group that teaches people how to properly engage in lightsaber tricks and makes appearances at various children's hospitals. You might have seen the group on BoingBoing TV a while back. Lam conceived Shogun Vader back in 2007 after reading about the samurai influence on Ralph McQuarrie's conceptual designs for Star Wars. He chose the name because Shogun means "general." In the few years since he began working on Shogun Vader, Lam has gone through three costume designs and is currently working on a fourth. -- thank you to Liz Ohanesian |

hasn't Star Wars become so ingrained in our culture that it is impossible for it to be counter-culture?
|
I believe that was discussed on page 1 or 2...

Quote:
But, when the film trilogy was first flourishing, the diehard fans of the genre were seen as outsiders, geeks, and, in some circles, dweebs. It took decades upon decades of continued rallying for this once "counter-culture", once reserved for the sometimes-too-passionate adolescent who may or may not have enjoyed laser light shows in their basement, to become a mainstay of our now popular culture, where we have anyone from the age of 4 to 74 joining in to, I don't know, marathon the films every 4 years or so. Simplified: It's an ironic twist in the title of what the history once was, and trying to recapture it, modern day. |

Turns Out There's Something Darker Than The Dark Side
Having a zombie overload? You still might want to save some room for the "zombies in the Star Wars universe" book, Death Troopers, which came out (sometime in Mid-October). It turns out stormtroopers and zombies do mix. Spoilers below. The storyline for Death Troopers is pretty simple, really — an Imperial prison barge, during the years right before the original Star Wars movie, runs into some engine trouble. Good thing they find a Star Destroyer in the middle of nowhere, which they can cannibalize for parts. Unfortunately, the Star Destroyer has some kind of weird virus on board, which kills everyone it comes into contact with... and the people who die don't stay dead. And that's about it. The survivors from the prison barge have to run a gauntlet of Imperial zombies and try to escape in one piece, while facing their own personal traumas and uncovering a sinister biological weapons program that comes straight from Lord Vader himself. |
as if zombies weren't enough...

Star Wars Gangsta Rap: Chronicles | animated music video | Atom Originals | Atom it really is hard to describe how much I loved the above piece. I thought it was gonna be super corny, even though it does have that cheeseball effect to it in the beginning, the producers of the rap really embraced it to make this video, really larger than life. The lyrics are what really draws you in, progressivel becoming more complicated and so character-driven, especially when all the appropriate voice cues are laid down for them; the animation, though, (for me) is a bonus throughout. This would have made a great single regardless. here is a one minute youtube preview of the 'SWGR: C'... but if you can, you must really expose yourself to the full-length song. Galactic gangsta genius, I tell you. great bonus addition: if you go offsite to the youtube video above (oh, you'll have to seeing as how they have disabled the video embedding feature; just click the the title of the video, real simple) it has the full lyrics to the rap, plus a compilation of 3 websites' videos that have all featured the song, either in a new animation, or as a fan response. |

LEGO Millenium Falcon (heavily-custom-modified)
Author's synopsis: (heavily-modified by me correcting spelling/grammaticial errors)
The UCS Millennium Falcon from LEGO is brilliant, and outstanding in terms of detail, but I was disappointed seeing the lame interior, so I built the model from the ground up, and adding a full movie-accurate detailed interior, along with some lights. The work isn't finished I'm still working on the backlights-engine and some other details, so... I hope you enjoy! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2764/...a8ce453540.jpg interior shot http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3593/...4a19833414.jpg cockpit http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2708/...1cbf7bcd42.jpg Latest upgrade of my UCS millennium falcon.
