an homage/parody illustration, building from and upon the painting Snow Capped Peaks. (though, in all honestly, I'm still looking for the name of who actually illustrated the darn thing.)

See 1997 Jabba go head to head with 2004 Jabba for who's wearing the proudest and slickest CG costume and who does the best "OW!" face when "Han steps on his tail":

DOUBLE JABBA!

How well the two are synchronized will depend on how quickly and equally your browser loads the videos so if they're out click 'double up' to restart or close down other tabs and windows.

"A New Hope" - We're Expecting!

To share the happy news that they were pregnant with twins,
Jennifer and Jeff did what any normal, happy, expecting nerds would do:
They sent out a Star Wars-themed pregnancy announcement.

Mr. Vader goes to Wall Street

Darth Vader and his henchmen invaded the New York Stock Exchange on [December 22, 2009] with the Dark Lord presiding over the ringing of the opening bell.

Vader was accompanied by four stormtroopers on the exchange's podium as President of Lucas Licensing Howard Roffman opened trading on the world's most famous stock exchange.

Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker's trusty robot companion R2D2 roamed the trading floor, chatting with dealers and soaking up the atmosphere.

Clearly the presence of the force had an impact on traders, with stocks soaring to a 14-month high on the back of upbeat housing data.

The Arrival of a Star Destroyer by Avanaut

author's comments:
During the night before the assault on Hoth the Imperial troops had to land a
Star Destroyer to speed up the process of placing AT-AT's and massive amount
of other gear on the planet surface. The icy moonlit landing site had to be
inspected by foot to make sure it can take the immense weight of a Star
Destroyer without cracking.

These four guys were in charge of that task. Can you imagine the pressure?
No wonder they don't talk much...

A real dog and a Kenner AT-AT Walker.

Stumbling around the 'net today, I came across this Star Wars Weather forecaster:

Cool concept there. I didn't know there was such a thing, and now I'm wondering how many planets, atmospheres and conditions the weather service has programmed into it. Could be a little, could be a lot. Serves to check it out some more.

Pixar Star Wars by Sillof

author's comments:
I did these just as an idea. I am not really great at drawing, I generally sculpt, but thought this was a fun idea and decided to post them with the release of Toy Story 3.

At first I just filled in the drawings with solid colors, but later decided to try filling it with various textures, I actually like the effect. I drew the characters traditionally, scanned them, and then filled in the textures using Microsoft paint (Photoshop would have been better but I don’t have it.)
I plan on sculpting all them into maquettes or figures.
