Darth Vader As A Busty Pin-Up Girl? Nice! [Images.]
Yayzus Graphics went ahead and re-envisioned token male characters from the Star Wars universe as pin-up girls. I don’t know what’s more disconcerting; the idea, or the fact that I find myself mildly aroused. Yes, yes, Admiral Ackbar with breasts. Oh, so glorious. I can’t tell if this is sharp subversion of powerful male figures, or just good natured fun.
Who the fuck cares?

Director Sausage Fest
From left to right: Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis, and Coppola
Yesterday was Spielberg’s 64th birthday and the HollywoodReporter posted this photo from George Lucas’ 50th birthday party. Makes sense.
I love how everyone is dressed up except for De Palma. He totally photobombed them. It’s like he doesn’t really like Lucas but heard there was going to be free booze. What’s so funny, Ron Howard?! Sweet tie, Lucas. Coppola’s such a lush.
Sneaker Alert! Preview of the Star Wars x Adidas 2011 Line.
Sneaker Freaker carried a preview of the Preview of the Star Wars x Adidas 2011 line. Some of it is dope, some of it is gaudy, but the important thing is this: it’s all fucking Star Wars. Freaker breaks down what we’re looking at here:
The collection is broken into two parts – the ‘Select Pack’ that is closely modeled on characters from the original film franchise, and the ‘Direct Pack’ which fuses the Star Wars universe with sports and pop culture. Highlights include a AT-AT Pilot El Dorado with a jumbo tongue similar to the Jeremy Scott Mickeys; a vividly detailed Skyline with the urban skyline replaced by an illustration of the Imperial planet Coruscant; and a deathly dark ZX-8000 with crackling energy beams on the midsole representing Emporor Palpatine. There’s also a nod to the Imperial Guard, a rasta Boba Fett mash up, plus some Ewing inspired Storm Trooper ballers.

C-3PO Female Bathing Suit Gets The Fluids Going, Completes The Droids Fantasy
Since the wonderful unveiling of the R2D2 bathing suit, there’s been an obvious question: where the C-3PO suit at? Well here it is, true believers. Here. It. Is. If you’ve ever wanted to have a threesome with the two beloved droids, this may be your closest chance. Actually, it’d probably be two monsters in clunky cardboard suits. But still. Just imagine it’s with two hot women, one donning a C-3PO one-piece, the other in an R2D2 of similar like.

Empire Strikes Back Director Irvin Kershner Passes Away. Bummer.
The director behind the Empire Strikes Back totally became one with the Force today. Lame jokes ahoy! Seriously though, Irvin Kershner passed away tofay at the age of 87. Goddamn. As the director of my favorite installment of my favorite thing ever, the dude has a special place in my heart. Ah, mortality! You son of a bitch.
Rest in piece duder, high five Nielsen for all of us.
So it goes.
adidas Originals x Star Wars Fall/Winter 2010 Conductor Hi “Super Death Star†Stormtrooper. Hotness Alert!

Frank Teran’s Force Unleashed II Concept Art Justifies Game’s Existence
Browsing over at Super Punch today (god damn it, read it already!), I came across a link to a bunch of artwork by Frank Teran. I had been ignorant to the existence of Teran prior to about forty minutes ago, but it is officially love at first sight (of gorgeously painted lightsaber).
I haven’t played either Force Unleashed game. I heard the first one wasn’t worth sixty-bucks, and then despite getting like totally stoked! for the second one because of some trailers, I heard the similar refrain: decent. Well! A sequel is totally justified in my mind, if alone for these works of sexy Sith glory. Hit the jump to check out Teran’s gallery of Force Unleashed concept art, and by the good lord, give his website a visit too.
Darth Vader Spoils Empire Strikes Back In 1978. Oops.
[Source: io9, Click to Enlarge.]
Back in 1978, the man behind the stature of Vader, David Prowse dropped a bombshell on an adoring crowd in Berkeley, California. He revealed that he was, in fact, Luke Skywalker’s father. The crowd went bananas batshit about the information. The most impressive part? The dude was probably full of shit.
As everyone knows by know, even George Lucas didn’t have a fucking clue who Luke’s father was. His father’s identity was bandied about, and for a while it was considered to be Obi-Wan. In fact, even when it was decided that it was Vader, Lucas had Prowse say the lines “Obi-Wan killed your father!” (fixed to save geeks from apoplexy) while filming the ultimate emo-kid asshole scene of the actual reveal. James Earl Jones’ dialogue with the actual paternity megaton was dubbed in later.
So did Prowse know before everyone else? Or was he just spitting garbage? Either way, it’s amazing. And as io9 points out, this was before the internet. Shit like this happened now, it’d be everywhere, and Lucas would probably have Prowse assassinated.
