A long time ago (starting in 2009) in a galaxy not far, far away (at StarWarsUncut.com), Star Wars: A New Hope was sweded in its entirety, one user-submitted 15-second clip at a time. Here it is in… erm… its entirety. Read more »
Finally something of actual worth has come out of this idiotic “Shit Girls Say” meme. Remember that? December? 8 million hits? Don’t worry. Here’s an educational anti-dote. It will educate you on when to shut up. Read more »
Here’s a French-dubbed Star Wars clip re-subtitled almost entirely with monologues of existentialist despair courtesy of Jean-Paul Sartre. If watching C-3PO and R2D2 wander the Tatooine Desert, “abandoned in the midst of infinite possibilities” won’t make you chortle, may I suggest The Empire Farts Back? Read more »
Designer Wayne Dorrington has created this extremely thorough infographic to detail the happenings in Star Wars Episode V so you can see the Empire striking back in an ordered outline of minimalist icons, arrows and thought bubbles with further informative icons and arrows within. Fellow young ones unfamiliar with the epic and its Cold War subtext may refer to Dorrington’s previous work on Harry Potter, you babies.

These understated Star Wars planet posters from justinvg are the sort of space opera franchise inspired stuff that would not only look good on your wall but be handy at charming pants off people outside of gk2gk, no Force required. Also, they’re a less self-alienating of a geekout than say… the Yoda back-pack, Vader slippers or this tattoo. |eyeteeth|

Star Wars New Era Hats Are Fittingly Ridiculous
Two leaders of pervasive franchising, New Era and Lucasfilm, have teamed up for a Star Wars collection of baseball hats. The intergalactic headgear features 18 different designs including some all-over prints and a bunch of dome piece disguises, mostly of the inhuman or Dark Side variety. Among the characters on caps are Darth Vader, Jabba the Hut, Yoda and Chewbacca, whose furry ear flaps will run you more than $100 (and your dignity). |High Snobiety|
Why is Chewbacca pawing Princess Leia’s breast? Because it’s from the 1970s and that’s how they got down back then. Actually they’re from a set of rare and behind the scenes photographs that were wisely released years after they would inflict any psychological trauma on die-hard Star Wars fans. |LifeLounge via CityofSkies|
