Make A Wish: Slave Leia Carwash

Damn, SoCal. Not only was there a rad art opening for Thomas Doyle this weekend, there was also a freakin’ carwash full of Slave Princess Leias and a Playmate Padme!

It was all part of a Star Wars Charity benefit by G4TV. Not the first time they’ve dabbled in Leia-xploitation, in 2007 they dressed up Olivia Munn as Slave Leia. This time they used her powers for good instead of evil—the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Star Wars: Hitchcock’s North By Northwest Galaxy

Cary Grant stars as a hapless New York advertising executive who’s mistaken for a Jedi by a group of Imperial agents, and is pursued across the galaxy while he looks for a way to survive, is how I’m guessing the IMDB would read. More great imagery on NCOTB. (Thanks, Fang)

Watch: Galactic Empire State of Mind

So nerdy. Yet so freakin’ awesome. Oh, and I want Princess Leia’s removable buns! That sounds bad. You just gotta watch and check out the lyrics. (Thanks, Fang!)

Star Wars: Admiral Ackbar As Ole Miss Mascot? It’s A Frat!

The students of Mississippi University have voted to make Admiral Ackbar their official mascot. Now we wait for the Student Mascot Committee to decide. You can’t repel suspense of that magnitude.
More info at SFGate / The Force

UPDATE: IT’S NOT A TRAP

Ackbar For Ole Miss has an official site It’s Not A Trap and a Twitter. They’ve even got a killer motto, “Who wants a Colonel when you could have an Admiral?” Stay tuned for more. (via Daily Dish)

Fly Solo: Remote Control Millennium Falcon

Yesterday’s Star Wars math learned that crossing a Rancor Monster with the Sarlacc Pit equals the Kracken. Today, we learn crossing the Millennium Falcon with a Helicopter equals full on Geekgasm.

What I like about this, aside from being shaped like the freakin’ Falcon, is how the propeller’s protected from the inevitable bonk into walls. Instantly worth the $50 bone asking price. See video of it here.

More info at Gizmodo. (Thanks, Fang!)

Whoa: Clash Of The Titans Kraken Is Rancor Monster + Sarlacc Love Child

Took my son to catch Percy Jackson and saw this new Clash Of The Titans trailer (readers know I’m unabashedly amped for this flick). While the appropriately gargantuan Kraken made me even more stoked, something didn’t add up. So I did the math:

Kraken 2010 is the love child of Star Wars Rancor Monster and Sarlacc pit.

WTF: Japanese Star Wars Chicken

Damn, C3P0’s got some snug-ass gold lamay pants. And I think this chicken is made from imitation crab meat. Not sure what else is happening.

Geek Out: All Things Ackbar … It’s A Blog!

After yesterday’s post on SNL Digital Short “The Curse” I had a fever. And the only prescription was more Tim Cappello.

This is my contribution to a site I had the honor of naming, All Things Ackbar. A Star Wars character who’s moments were fleeting, but who’s magnitude the internets cannot repel. No, it can’t be explained. But like Selleck Waterfall Sandwich and Nic Cage As Everyone, we’ll help run this into the ground, too.

Scott, the Web Admiral, created the site and is now taking submissions.

Photoshop: Nic Cage As Pee Wee, Lando, Everyone

PW is Jeff Fang‘s entry to the blog Nic Cage As Everyone. Tyler’s is below. You may remember their skills tweaking classic albums and Microsoft ads. Fang even achieved 3rd place in Gizmodo’s Photoshop Watchmen Contest. Where do they find the time? Maybe they need more work.

Nicolas Calrissian! Way to make use of the Raising Arizona ‘stache, Tyler.

OMG: Double Bikini Princess Leias Circa ’82

Lucas had two suns on Tatooine and apparently, two bikinied Leias to soak’em up. Carrie Fisher and her stunt double. No pics of the crazy-ass tanlines. (Thanks, Scott!) via Giz via @Kottke.

SF: Roaming Star Wars Cantina Band In The Mission Halloween Nite!

UPDATED: Halloween night, a roaming Star Wars Cantina Band took over the Mission in SF. Hitting up bar after bar. And when they couldn’t get in (ahem … Bruno’s) they played on the sidewalk.

Great idea, Occlupanid.

It takes a band of Biths to bring Megatron and Hammerhead together. Here’s a video from Nate at A New Leaf; one of the members of the roaming rockers.
