Death Star Cushion: the Ultimate Softness in the Universe

Posted on 20/08/2014 by Conner Flynn

This awesome throw cushion or pillow is fully operational and will soon be the ultimate power in the whole wide living room. It was created by Pops de milk and is crocheted into a perfect sphere of Imperial destruction.

This pillow is perfect for your living room, bed, wherever you need a space station that can wipe out planets, but still be cuddled with after. It measures 28″ in circumference, but if that seems big, she also made a cute little version.

I have asked you once, where are the plans? Tear this ship apart. I will have those plans and build one for myself!

Death Star Rug: The Ultimate Power in the Universe Is Easily De-feeted

Posted on 18/07/2014 by Conner Flynn

Decorate your room with the Emperor’s ultimate weapon, the Death Star. The Empire’s prized weapon and space station can now be the center of your room.

Death Star or not, if you have cats, it will just get covered in cat hair until it looks like a Wookie Death Star. And it will wear down after so many passes with the vacuum.

This 6′ x 6′ Death Star rug by Totem Rugs is handmade with some really nice detail. Even so, I’m not sure the price of $3,600 CAD (~$3,353 USD)is justified. It might be better to wait for the Empire to have a going out of business sale. I’ll just save my money and buy more Star Wars toys.

In all seriousness, if you don’t mind a smaller version, they offer a 3′x3′ tufted Death Star rug that’ not nearly as detailed for just $330 CAD (~$307 USD)…

Death Star Rug: That’s No Moon!

Posted on 17/07/2014 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

Get the rug that really ties your room together. That’s no moon, that’s a Death Star Rug. This 52″ diameter polyester pile rug looks just almost exactly like Darth Vader’s evil weapon…. except a bit flatter. And maybe a little less deadly. Just a little. Look out R2! This officially licensed rug will be the centerpiece of your Star Wars mancave.

Even if you don’t have a Star Wars mancave (one can only dream, right?) you can still put it in any room of your house provided you don’t have any miniature Jedi noobs trying to do a little trench run on your floor coverings. Luckily this soft carpet doesn’t have an exhaust vent, so your Empire is safe.

DIY 12-Foot Inflatable Death Star: Your Lack of an Air Compressor is Disturbing

Posted on 04/05/2014 by Paul Strauss

If you haven’t already heard from a million other people, today is Star Wars day. So I figured we couldn’t have May the Fourth arrive without at least one Star Wars post on the site. So here goes. In celebration of the day, our friend Caleb Kraft (of Hack a Day and now Make: fame) has gone and built himself a giant inflatable Death Star.

Or more precisely, he has bought himself a giant 12-foot beach ball, and covered it in fabric and paint to look like The Ultimate Weapon in the Universe. If Caleb brings this thing to the beach, people will cower in fear – unless he happens to run into Princess Leia in her bikini – then all bets are off.

Want to make your own Death Star Beach ball? Just assemble a clone army and head on over to Make:, where Caleb will show you how.

Death Star Gown: The Ultimate Power in the Fashion Universe

Posted on 02/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

This image comes from the Badlands Garrison of the 501st Legion, who Tweeted this picture from their booth at the recent Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. I’m sure everyone was having fun until some woman with an Alderaan dress came up to the booth. Needless to say, only one of them walked away.

Its maker and model, Deathstargirl, looks menacing wearing the ultimate power in the universe. The outer layer of gray is actually double layered and there are 900 foam tiles on it, 250 LED lights, and 12ft of EL wire. This thing must be pretty heavy. It also takes 9 “D” batteries to power the lights.

That Star Destroyer? It is a handbag. Awesome stuff – assuming you aren’t Alderaan.

Death Star Cake Attacked by Various Starships

Posted on 23/01/2014 by Conner Flynn

So. Neal recently had a birthday. I don’t know Neal, but clearly he is a lucky guy. He had a very happy birthday thanks to this amazing cake his wife got for him. It has a delicious and deadly Death Star, but that’s not all.

It depicts an epic space battle between some of the most iconic spaceships from TV and movies. There is a Klingon Bird of Prey, Serenity, a TARDIS, the Millenium Falcon, and even the Enterprise D. Now that is a battle I would like to see.

This cake is yet another awesome creation from the folks at The Regali Kitchen in the Philippines. That’s no moon. That’s dessert!

Death Star Cheese Ball: The Ultimate Gouda in the Universe

Posted on 22/12/2013 by Conner Flynn

That’s no moon, that’s a cheese ball! It is almost operational and when it goes online, it will be the ultimate power in the universe. This awesome cheese Death Star was made by Jennifer Landa who has her sights set on Alderaan and isn’t afraid to fire.

The edible Death Star was made with cream cheese, bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, garlic, brown cumin, cayenne pepper, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and a jalapeño. She mixed it all together, shaped the mixture into a ball, then refrigerated it for an hour. The lines were carved with a knife and then she dug out the concavity for the superlaser with a spoon. Want to make one for yourself? Check out the instructional video below:

When the rebels attack, this large cheese ball is going to blow and become an explosive cheesy poof.

Gingerbread Death Star: The Empire Bites Back

Posted on 19/12/2013 by Conner Flynn

This awesome gingerbread Death Star is the ultimate power in the universe. The tastiest too. In fact, it recently won a gingerbread house-building tournament at The Swedish Centre for Architecture in Stockholm, Sweden. It comes from Redditor Sillstryparn.

This is the second Death Star as you can see. The first was obviously destroyed by snowmen piloting X-wing fighters made from candy canes.

This spicy space station took 12 people to build it and it is made out of about 1,200 cookies. The creator says that it took friendship, cooperation and sense of purpose to create this special project. It was seen as a “metaphor in the challenge to all the world’s people must practice love for each other to maintain and build up our planet.” That’s a nice sentiment, but I just need to know where I can get a tall glass of milk so I can get started on this thing.

Light-up Death Star LED Ornament: That’s No Silver Bell

Posted on 11/12/2013 by Conner Flynn

Do something different with your Christmas tree this year and build a light-up Death Star ornament. Nashville-based craftycounterpart will show you how with a step-by-step Instructables article.

You will use supplies like clear acrylic balls, LED tealights, clay, spray paint, painters tape, and of course the blood and sweat of countless clones. When you are finished, this space station will be the ultimate power in your Christmas tree universe. Just be on the lookout for those pesky X-Wing fighter ornaments.

The end result looks really super nice and it will be the focal point of your geek decorated tree. The LED light really makes it look like a working station. I would suggest a small diorama nearby that is basically space debris, for what was formally Alderaan.

Death Star Wall Tiles: Now I Just Need a Spherical Room

Posted on 14/11/2013 by Conner Flynn

Thanks to these custom tiles, I can finally turn my room into the Death Star. They look amazing. You really could turn any room into a Death Star. Death Star shower? You could do that. And it would be amazing. Of course then you would need some Death Star soap to go with it. This station would be the… ultimate shower in the universe!

Artist and designer Victor Brown collaborated with Tom Spina Designs when his client wanted a sci-fi inspired custom home theater. One requirement was wall tiles that you can’t just find at your local Home Depot. They came up with tiles that look like the Death Star Trench run scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

They designed 14 different 12″x12″ sculptures, then artist Lonnie Hale reproduced a total of 120 Death Star tiles in cast resin. They were installed under the home theater’s screen and along the lower walls and steps. As you can see in the video and it really completes the theme. I want a whole wall full of these amazing tiles.
