After Star Wars: R2-D2
Sep 10th
This sad image shows us what has happened to the beloved little astromech droid after the Star Wars movies. Sad to see such a promising career end this way. Looks like it was cheaper for Industrial Automaton to reconfigure him into a kitchen utensil. At least he’s good for squeezing lemons.

Ackbar Potato
Sep 10th
I am not quite sure but this might be a trap! A potato in the shape of Admiral Ackbar, the Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance Fleet? Not really. What we have here is a clone experiment gone wrong! This is exactly what happens when you get your cloning equipment from Aldi instead of reliable quality sources like the official cloning facilities on Kamino.

Princess Leia vs. Ace Ventura
Sep 10th
There is no escape from the shenanigans of Ace Ventura but Princess Leia and Wicket have a plan. Because Endor has already suffered enough.

Is this a case of Midichlorians gone bad or do they just serve a lot of beans and cabbage in a galaxy far, far away? You decide!
JEDI JACKASS
Dec 8th
Now here’s a a fine specimen of what the young people these days call a “mashup”.
Take two sources that have nothing to do with each other and mix them in a video blender and out comes something new.
That’s how I would explain it. For a better definition you should look up the word in ye olde wikipedia in your local public library (if you still have one). Or “google it”, whatever that means. All this internet mumbo-jumbo is making my head dizzy. It also could be the fumes from the cans of paint in the garage I’m sitting in as I can’t afford a decent office. The life of a freelancer, what a joy! Thank you, world economy, for making my life even more miserable than I could possibly imagine.
But I digress.
This video features well known Star Wars characters doing crazy things that you would normally see on the MTV show Jackass (also available on DVD, you know.) That’s why it’s called Jedi Jackass and it works suprisingly well. I can imagine that this is what the people in the Star Wars universe are up to when there’s nothing to watch on holonet, or all the womp rats have been shot but there’s still time to waste.
Can these reviews from well-renowned papers lie?
“A new low”
-Bespin Star
“A plunge into depravity”
-Mos Eisley News
No, they can’t. So you know it’s good. Because it’s bad. And this Star Wars/Jackass mashup is tantalisingly awesome. Really.
And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!

Especially if you don’t wash it…
Its the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag!
Please note the “guts pattern” lining.
Almost makes me want to have kids.
Almost.
Tesla Coil Imperial March – old hat already?
Mar 19th
To answer this rhetorical question in the most journalistic way possible: YES.
Proof: posted to the ugc video sharing site youtube on 19th February 2009.
In internet terms this is, in fact, a very old hat. Or old cheese. Runny, old cheese.
Well, so much for our journalistic integrity on reporting just the facts. Of course we have to post this. It’s (yet another) Star Wars related video. And this is what this site, the safe haven for embedded Star Wars nerdism, is all about.
So without further ado, please do applaud these true heroes of our time for their bravery in, er, science. Or something like that. There’s a Tesla coil, so it must be something to do with science. Possibly.
Power! Unlimited power!

Fierce competition for Max Reebo and the Cantina Band
Mar 13th
With the credit crunch and the downfall of the economy affecting everyone in the known universe, even intergalactic crimelords like Jabba the Hutt have to look into saving a credit here and there.
If anyone remembers the musical movie Return of the Jedi Special Edition with the horrible muppet band playing in Jabba’s palace… well.
What can I say?
I feel your pain.
It was horrible and over the top.
But I am not here to rant incoherently about a movie that is partly to blame for me being a crazy bitter old man.
Oh noes! Oh noes indeed!
I am here to show you something that should have been in the movie instead of the muppets musical number. A little boy. A little boy playing the harp. And he is playing the Cantina song from Star Wars.
His rendition is so beautiful that it would have melted Han Solo from his carbonite block.
Aren’t you a little short for a harp player?
Little LEGO people building the Millennium Falcon. In LEGO and in stop motion.
Mar 13th
I have watched Watchmen twice now and I am over it – back to the essentials.
This is secret video footage of the rebels building the Millennium Falcon. Many bothans died to bring us this information.
Of course, that’s nothing new. Bothans dying that is. They are probably the worst spies in the known universe.
In any case, what you probably haven’t seen yet is lovely little LEGO people building the LEGO Millennium Falcon in stop motion animation. This is awesome and pisses on Lucas’ later work.
Nevermind that this video is not historically accurate. We all know that Han Solo won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game of cards. Still good though.
Yeah. So there we are, back to Star Wars. It only took a couple of days.
Bring me the hydrospanners!
