Star Wars Death Star Bedding: The Softer Side of the Dark Side

Posted on by

You won’t have to steal any plans to get into this cool Star Wars Death Star Bedding. That’s a good thing, because you would probably end up dead if Rogue One is any indication.

You will not know the comfort and warmth of The Dark Side until you hop into this bed. Besides, it will be fun saying “That’s no moon!” every time you enter your room and look at your bed, which is so awesome that it draws you to it as if by tractor beam for a nice long nap.

The imposing spherical space station is printed on the duvet cover, while the shams rock TIE fighters and imperial star destroyers, the pillowcases have Star Wars logos, and the sheets are printed with black and white line art.

You can get this cool bedding from ThinkGeek, with prices ranging from $49.99 to $89.99 (USD).

Death Star Tea-for-one Teapot and Mug: That’s No Matcha!

Posted on by

If you like tea, and need something geeky to drink your warm beverage out of, here is just the ticket. It’s a teapot and mug set that looks like the Death Star. It’s fully-armed and operational, though it does have one fatal flaw which could be easily exploited by the Rebellion – it’s made from ceramics, so it could be destroyed without even having to find its exhaust port.

The teapot rests on top of the mug and the pot holds 12 oz. with the mug holding 6 oz. Both pieces can be put in the dishwasher or microwave. The markings on the set look sort of like hieroglyphics to me.

ThinkGeek has this for $24.99(USD) and you can pick one up today.

What the What!!! Death Star Trench Isn’t Where We Thought It Was

Posted on by

Remember back in Star Wars: A New Hope when Luke destroys the Death Star on that trench run? Well I always thought that trench was the line you see through the equator of the Death Star, I would wager nearly all of you did too. As it turns out, we’re all wrong.

This little fact came to light during a production meeting on Rogue One. The trench Luke flies through actually runs perpendicular to that equator trench. If my elementary school self had paid attention to the meeting where the Rebel Alliance planned the attack, it’s made quite clear that it’s not the equator trench right there on screen.

Still, my mind is a bit blown that all these years I thought that trench run was across the middle of the Death Star and it wasn’t. Don’t act like you knew either.

Turn an IKEA Lamp into an Exploding Death Star

Posted on by

I don’t know how many times I’ve thought to myself, “This room could really use an exploding Death Star lamp.” Well, now I can make one thanks to Instructables contributor MariaK64. She built this exploding Death Star lamp, modded from an IKEA pendant lamp.

You can follow a tutorial she made here or here to make one of your own. You have to buy an IKEA PS 2014 pendant lamp, then paint it to look like the Death Star. Since the lamp expands when you pull its string, you have yourself an exploding space station. Explode it as often as you want.

The Rebels would be proud. Also, it saves them the trouble of blowing it up themselves.

Death Star Popcorn Maker: The Dark Side Has Snacks

Posted on by

If Darth Vader was into crunchy snacks with hulls that get stuck between his teeth, you better believe that he would use this awesome popcorn maker. When you aren’t using it, the bowl clamps over the top to complete a cool and shiny Death Star sculpture sitting on your counter.

When you want to use it, you take off that cover and use it to catch the popped corn that comes out. Plus, it’s a hot air popcorn maker, so no oil is needed to make the corn making it more healthy. It can hold 1/2 cup of kernels and makes 8 cups of popped corn.

Epcot Spaceship Earth to Become the Death Star

Posted on by

Disney is working to get all the mileage possible out of its Star Wars purchase and as such it plans to turn that boring Epcot Spaceship Earth silver ball into the Death Star tonight. The catch is that the transformation appears to be for one night only and will be done after normal park hours.

disney_death_star_1

The transformation is to celebrate Rogue One hitting theaters in a few weeks. The temporary conversion to the Death Star will be done with projectors. Lucky registrants via the Disney Parks Blog will get to attend, but sadly all of the slots are already filled up.

I wonder why they won’t leave that up at least until after the movie premiers. I think turning the Epcot ball into the Death Star would be much cooler than what it is now. I rode that ride as a kid not long after it opened and I thought it was boring. The least they could do is replace Walter Cronkite’s voice with James Earl Jones.

Death Star Would Cost All the Money to Run for One Day

Posted on by

I never really put much thought into what it would cost to actually make and operate the things we see in sci-fi movies. Take the Death Star for instance. It never crossed my mind to think about how much it would cost to build. Estimates peg that cost at $852 quadrillion bucks if you are wondering.

death_star_costs_1

As it turns out, the cost of building the Death Star would be a drop in the ocean of money it would take to run the thing on a daily basis. You can check out the infographic below and see more detail, and to find out just how much it would cost to operate.

death_star_costs_2

Ovo Energy got help from real scientists, and they estimate that it would cost £6 octillion (~$7.58 octillion USD) daily to power the Death Star. I don’t even know how many zeros that would be. What we do know is the amount is 30 trillion times more money than there is on all of the Earth. Good going, Darth.
