Death Star Lamp: The Light Side of the Dark Side

Posted on 31/05/2015 by Conner Flynn

I would love to have this Death Star lamp in my home. Can you imagine how awesome this thing would look at night? This custom Death Star lamp was actually made from a globe – which is fitting since this thing is all about destroying planetary structures.

It has green light that simulates the powering up of its weapon as it fires and a “warm glow” underneath. Grand Moff Darken, I mean Tarkin would love this. As would Vader.

The laser can even be positioned in multiple directions or removed for a different look. This is the Star Wars decor you have been looking for. It’s only about $189(USD) from Etsy.

LEGO Friends Death Star: That’s No Play Date…

Posted on 06/05/2015 by Lambert Varias

LEGO enthusiast Steve Price shows what could happen if the girls of the LEGO Friends set got their hands on the Galactic Empire’s Death Star. In Steve’s The Friends Star, the Heartlake City kids gave the Star Wars space station a bright and pastel-colored makeover, then they invited their buddies for what has to be the largest children’s party in the galaxy.

Note that they kept the superlaser running. These kids have a mean streak. Head to Steve’s Flickr page to see more of The Friends Star.

On top of that, this shirt has a Star Wars print making up Geekception layer number two. On close inspection, you will find schematics of AT-ATs, Walkers, and TIE Fighters with tags pointing out their parts. The shirt even has Imperial logo buttons.

It’s perfect for the summer pool party you have no intention of swimming at. You can pick one up for $49.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

If you are a fan of LEGOLand California, you’ll be happy to know that they have a great new addition coming just for Star Wars fans. The park has been building a massive Death Star made entirely out of LEGO bricks. This will make LEGOLand the ultimate power in the universe.

It is impressive. Most impressive! And the folks at LEGOLand are good enough that they intend not to unveil it by blowing up a planet. It will debut on March 5th at LEGOLand’s Star Wars Miniland area. There are no X-Wings ready to make trench runs, just the Death Star itself in all it’s glory. Check out the silent video below see them putting it in place. Be sure to hum along the Imperial March. Or try this instead.

The World’s Second Coolest Grandpa Made This Death Star Fire Pit

Posted on 31/12/2014 by Stirling Matheson

If you want to be a cool granddad, make cool stuff for your grandchildren. Mine made me a waxed Captain America shield that protected me from water balloons, thrown dirt clods, and many other projectiles, as well as a tree house, and a ton of other stuff that kids love. Moreover, he’s more or less a Clint Eastwood character; when I went to visit him shortly after his 87th birthday he was climbing a tree while one-handing a running chainsaw upon my arrival. As such, the titles of “World’s Coolest Granddad” is taken.

A different granddad has taken building cool stuff for his descendants to heart, and is now the runner-up for that prestigious title on account of this awesome Death Star fire pit. Redditor Bandia5309 just received this as a present and took to the web to show it off. We’re all thankful, and a bit jealous. Why couldn’t grandpa have also made a picture tutorial?

Star Wars Inflatable Christmas Lawn Decorations

Posted on 03/12/2014 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

Droid to the world, the Lord (Vader) is come. Geek up your Christmas decorations this year with these awesome inflatable Star Wars lawn decorations. Starting with the dynamic droid duo of R2D2 and C3PO bringing you a witty holiday message at the bottom and decked out in Christmas lights. C3PO measures 5.5″ tall and R2 is… let’s just say he measures a little less than that.

Next up is the Scrooge of the galaxy, Darth Vader in a Santa Hat. He’s 42″ tall, lights up, and wants to bring cheer and goodwill to mankind this year- nah just kidding, death and destruction. Unless you join the Dark Side. But maybe we can step it up a notch…

By adding the Death Star! The Darth Vader with Death Star not only features a larger more imposing Vader (at 6′ tall), it also plays music: the Imperial March, natch. But wait, there’s more. The Death Star snowball lights up with a kaleidoscopic effect. Epic.

Last but certainly not least (well, maybe least in height) is Yoda as Father Christmas Santa. Calm, all is. He’s 42″ tall, lights up, and is full of Jedi knowledge and holiday cheer. He’s decked out in a seasonal robe. For indoor or outdoor use. Christmas, a merry one, I wish you.

Death Star Wireless Speaker

Posted on 20/11/2014 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

That’s no moon! Because it’s a speaker. The Death Star Wireless Speaker is a Bluetooth speaker on an acrylic stand fashioned after Lord Vader’s little weekend project. Not only does it pump out the tunes, it also lights up. The Death Star is powered by an internal battery that’s good for 8 hours of playback per charge. It most likely won’t destroy your home planet (we hope!).

Don’t have a bluetooth music device? No problem, it also has a 3.5mm audio jack so you can hook your turntable right in to it you hipster/oldtimer. The speaker/planet sized weapon measures 6″ tall by 4.5″ wide and 4.5″ deep.
