1977 Dodge Tradesman Van Has Star Wars Mural, Geek Love
This 1977 Dodge Tradesman200 van represents years' worth of lonely Saturday nights filled with geek-love and rightly so. It's adorned with a Star Wars mural fit for a Jedi. The van itself has seen some better days. This ladies-mobile has 100,000 miles on the V8 engine and the inside boasts a poorly-maintained lounging area and mini-bar.More »

Commenter Of The Day: Biggs Darklighter Edition
While Murilee and Jonny continue to trek towards their mission of TOTAL LeMONS COVERAGE DOMINATION, we're here at the home base scouring the comments for the commenter with the mysterious power known around some parts as "the force," or in France as le force. It's what allows a reader to take a subject worthy of something greater than mere mockery or reflection: allusion. We go way back to the first movie in a series of six movies that was actually the fourth movie. More »

But Will it Fly? X-Wing Fighter Madness in the Desert
If you don't have a girlfriend, you know it as the Incom T-65. Else, it's the X-Wing Starfighter, pride of the Rebel Alliance's strike fleet. Here's the backstory. A gang of aerospace hobbyists created a workable model of the X-Wing out of plywood, fiberglassed foam and whatnot. Then they hooked it up with booster rockets and RC gear, and hauled it out the desert, where they proceeded to send it on its maiden voyage. You have no idea how hard it is not to give away the ending. [Gizmodo]
question of the day
What Would Chewbacca Drive?
Another great question from a presumably great reader named Alex A. Have a read:In regards to the post on the GNX and the overwrought use of "Darth Vader" as potential owner to many a sinister blacked out ride, my question is: what would the other Star Wars characters drive? Because Han would totally drive a 455 equipped GMC motor home, your worship.Brillaint, though we see Han in an E63 AMG Wagon with a bald front tire and rust. Lots and lots of rust. Still, the question rules. Have at it. More »

Car Wars: Parking an AT-AT at the Mall
First of all, we had no idea the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) had a Powerstroke diesel. That's pretty impressive. Nonetheless, trying to maneuver an Imperial walker out of a mall parking lot takes the kind of finesse even the Empire's elite armor assault crews aren't trained for. Then again, this guy shouldn't be trying to go it alone — that's what a crew is for. But, as written in the StarWars.com databank, "AT-AT pilot training stresses their importance, and successful soldiers are often convinced of their invincibility, making them insufferably arrogant to the frontline grunts." Yeah, that's probably it. [Thanks to Mike for the tip.] More »

Maybe The Force Can Help The H-Wing Carfighter-amino, Luke
Holy hell, we thought we'd seen it all. We were wrong. It turns out the Honda Del Sol can not only be customized — it also can be retrofitted with a hyperspace drive, an R2 unit and some various assorted and sundry post-Clone War tech goodies. Chewie'd be proud. Of course we'll need Chewie — and a good hydrospanner (not the cheap-o Black and Decker variety) — cause apparently this little customized nerf-herder was smacked up by its owner real good. But we want to see this bad boy hitting the mean streets of Mos Eisley pronto — so hit that link below and show your love to a lover of the el-camino / Star Wars hybrid customizations (the PayPal link is on the left hand side of the page) — and may the force be with you friend, always.
