			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Star Wars were meant to happen a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but what if they actually happened on Earth? French photographer <a href="http://www.cedricdelsaux.com/">Cédric Delsaux</a> imagines the scene if <em>Star Wars</em> was set in Dubai of all places.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27972" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/020910_rg_StartWars_01.jpg" alt="020910 rg StartWars 01" width="600" height="449" title="020910 rg StartWars 01 photo" /></p>
<p>You might wonder why Dubai. The main reason is that with the current economic crisis, a lot of buildings under construction haven&#8217;t been completed. The city is littered with cranes that aren&#8217;t building anything anymore. Needless to say, this creates an eerie, surreal backdrop for these images.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27973" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/020910_rg_StartWars_02.jpg" alt="020910 rg StartWars 02" width="600" height="449" title="020910 rg StartWars 02 photo" /></p>
<p>Delsaux&#8217;s series of photos is called <em>The Dark Lens</em> and is worth a gander over at <a href="http://www.fubiz.net/2010/02/09/start-wars/">Fubiz</a>. These are my faves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Darth Vader cake is simply amazing, no two ways about it. It&#8217;s well-designed (just look at those fabric folds!) and perhaps even better executed. But regardless, there is something completely hilarious (to me) about choosing a filling for your Darth Vader. Should there be choice here? Shouldn&#8217;t you take what you get and like it, or risk some heavy Force mojo dropping on your face? That seems more appropriate.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20446" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tb-darthvadercake.jpg" alt="tb darthvadercake" width="600" height="931" title="tb darthvadercake photo" /></p>
<p>Seriously, banana creme? Darth Vader shouldn&#8217;t taste like bananas. He should taste like anger, hatred, and old man sweat. You know it had to be rank under that mask at the end. I doubt he was really keeping up with his dental hygiene, either.</p>
<p>This compelling piece comes from the House of Cakes in Dubai, and so I&#8217;m a little surprised it&#8217;s not even more of an architectural wonder&#8230; though anything more would probably be pretty excessive.</p>
