The Bright Bricks crew sure now how to design and build impressive LEGO creations. This time around, for the Star Wars: The Force Awakens première in the UK they built a life-size BB-8. I was a little disappointed to see how much steel they used to hold up the model but it turns out that […]
Mandalorian madness: Sideshow’s impressive Boba Fett model
This model of Boba Fett complete with specially crafted Sarlacc base comes from Sideshow Toys. The model is expected to ship any time between May and July 2016 but you can pre-order now, as collectors will be doing. The sixth scale figure is 299.97mm high (I’d call that 300) and has over 30 points of […]
Short film: Rebel Scum
A Star Wars fan made film set on Hoth. We’re not talking Disney special effects with this one but what the Nguyen brothers achieve with stop-motion and the -30°C location on the Columbia icefield is impressive. A rebel snowspeeder is shot down and survives the crash. What next? He’s stuck on Hoth with hunter killer […]
The Star Wars car decal we’re not brave enough to use

That time Darth Vader started a guitar band
It’s the famous Star Wars opening theme with a rock twist. The band even have a Facebook page at @Galatic Empire Official with nearly 45,000 followers, some extra photos and posts to catch up on. Would you put Boba Fett on the drums? Makes more sense than asking the Stormtrooper to do it, I suppose… […]

His talents really show in Troopers series which looks at Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers from Star Wars universe and the now expired extended universe. I dare say after The Force Awakens we might […]
This video is an impressive scale comparison of 45 spaceships
This is one of those videos that builds slowly and then starts to wheel in the surprises. Star Trek, Halo, Mass Effect and EVE Online dominate towards the end but we’ve also got V, The Dark Zone, Warhammer, Star Trek and others in here. I’m reminded of the very impressive sci-fi spaceship comparison chart by […]
Star Wars landspeeder bed
Reddit user Ghostfaceace made this Landspeeder bed for his son. Did you know that the landspeeder has its own huge wikipedia page? Luke Skywalker’s is an X-34 but the X-35 also appeared in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. The landspeeders were built by Ogle Design around the chassis of an old three-wheel car from the […]
