Toronto Interesting Star Wars Links...

I'm going to try and post up interesting Star Wars related links as I come across them, or learn of them... this could be vids, items, info...

Starting with...

The R2-D2 Dvd projectors are here for pre-order! God I want one!!

I have an R2 Tuque already, but not like this one... I can't say I like this version... look and see...

Yeowch $4000 for a projector. With that money I could build 2 droids

 

what you should do is install a dvd player into your R2... with cables to conect to a TV... lol

 

Check this out... someone coverted a Vader mask into Steampunk style... and the chestbox too!!

Here's a guy that knows how to show off his collection!.. I love this page... a bit of a bugger on Dialup I'd think...

Ever wonder what the Action Figures would look like were Star Wars done in Steampunk?... check this out...

With the exception of Han and Vader I would love to see a series based on those. They look awesomely victorian...like something out of Oz...ironically.

 

Nice! George Lucas in Carbonite! http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/07/23/george-lucas-in-carbonite/

Check out all the pictures taken at Celebration Japan by following the flicr link on that page... and like me, there'll be a lot of things to goo gaa over!.... I want a Trooper Hoodie!!!

 

Jar Jar as played by a chimp.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlwQQsDYrpQ

 

Check out these wheels!! http://www.geekologie.com/2008/08/guy_makes_full_size_driveable.php

 

These are great... Star Wars in the Olympics... http://www.flickr.com/photos/seven13avenue/

 

Wow lot of work in those

 

Okay... Keeping things interesting... and I know theforce.net covered it already. but I thought I'd bring it back!

R2-D2 - The sideshow collectable... http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=2215
C3P-0 - The sideshow collectable... http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=2212

These are amazing looking and read to me like they are being toted as Life-Size Action Figures... but WOW, talk about toys for the rich! R2-D2 is $5450.00 and C3P-0 is only $5950.00. Act fast! quantities are limited!

 

Oh no low quantity alert. People better get their order in soon or they may be SOL

LOL

Toy trains 'Star Wars' fans to use The Force...

Could The Force be with you? A toy due in stores this fall will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities.

The toaster was a bit pricey. The force thing doesn't look like much but the idea of the maze sounds good

 

Alex

why not try and adapt a projector to your R2

~Marcy

 

That'd be definitly something interesting to play around with. I may have to get to the states for that toy and a couple of others.

 

It sure would be cheaper then the $4000 but then there is the problem of moving the projector up and down stairs. This is Episode 4-6 R2. No jet packs

 

Maybe on the next R2 eh Alex?

 

So, what do you all think? Good name or not?

Get this though... they had a LOT of interest!

 

That's so cute.

 

The new Earth Day SW shirts are kind'a cute. My favorite is "Recycling. It's not just for Jawas."
