Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank

2010-07-23T10:37:00.001-05:00

Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank: "Apparently the destruction of the second Death Star has stretched the Galactic Empire's coffers so thin that Lord Vader himself is robbing banks. From the article: "Impotent Rebel Alliance security forces tell Newsday (paywall) that Vader marched into a Chase bank in Setauket around 11:30 a.m. today. Brandishing a completely unnecessary handgun—as he had the power to choke the oxygen out every teller's throat—the fallen Jedi demanded cash."

Looking At Stars Wars Candid Shots Is Like Looking At Your Old Prom Photos [Star Wars]

Looking At Stars Wars Candid Shots Is Like Looking At Your Old Prom Photos [Star Wars]: "
There's an endearingly goofy nostalgia about these vintage Star Wars pics. It's like seeing photos of old friends and laughing about their atrocious haircuts. Check out C-3PO smoking cigs, a boneless Chewie, and a Hoth family portrait after the jump.

Seeing the cast of the original trilogy goofing off on set is surreal, and the non-CGI props and alien puppets just compound the unreality of it all. These photographs - and a slew more - can be found at Total Film. Look out for the photo of the Chewbacca pelt - it's akin to seeing Santa Claus take off his beard.

Poor design-choices in the Star Wars universe

2009-08-20T11:06:00.000-05:00

Poor design-choices in the Star Wars universe: "John Scalzi's list of bad design decisions in the Star Wars universe had me LOLing when I should have been working:

C-3PO

Can't fully extend his arms; has a bunch of exposed wiring in his abs; walks and runs as if he has the droid equivalent of arthritis. And you say, well, he was put together by an eight-year-old. Yes, but a trip to the nearest Radio Shack would fix that. Also, I'm still waiting to hear the rationale for making a protocol droid a shrieking coward, aside from George Lucas rummaging through a box of offensive stereotypes (which he'd later return to while building Jar-Jar Binks) and picking out the 'mincing gay man' module.

Lightsabers

Yes, I know, I want one too. But I tell you what: I want one with a hand guard. Otherwise every lightsaber battle would consist of sabers clashing and then their owners sliding as quickly as possible down the shaft to lop off their opponent's fingers. You say: Lightsabers can slice through anything but another lightsaber, so what are you going to make a hand guard out of? I say: Dude, if you have the technology to make a lightsaber, you have the technology to make a light hand guard.
