2001: A Space Odyssey is a classic in just about every sense of the word. Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke created a true masterpiece. Douglas Trumbull’s miniatures and visual effects even rival today’s movies. It’s definitely one of my favorite films of all time.

I’m torn. I could take several bites out of this awesome gingerbread xenomorph, but if I do, it’s gonna take some bites out of me. On one hand, it looks delicious, but on the other, it is terrifying.

Few things in this galaxy or any other are as intimidating as the sight of an Imperial Star Destroyer. If you are smuggling any contraband at all and you see one of these ships, you drop your cargo and run.

A few years back, we spotted a Death Star made entirely from ginger snap cookies, and while that one looked crunchy and delicious, I think this one is even more impressive because of its construction technique using flat sheets of gingerbread.

These are the voyages of the USS Gingerprise. It’s on a five year mission of deliciousness.Or at least it was, until it crash landed in the snow. This delicious starship was made by Redditor ejustice and modeled after the scene in Star Trek Generations.

Check out this gingerbread version of the hotly-contested Iron Throne. It was built by a group of friends who promised not to fight over it and cut each others heads off doing it. Have you ever seen so many tiny gingerbread swords in your life?

Michelle Sugar Art made this awe inspiring 4’x 5′ gingerbread version of the much contested capital from Game of Thrones. You don’t need dragons to conquer this city. The model was displayed at Taste of London 2015.

This gingerbread Millenium Falcon looks awesome, even if it isn’t completely made of gingerbread. Some of those bulkheads are clearly graham crackers. Hey, that’s fine with me. I’m looking to hire a ship, but I’ll gladly eat it instead.

We’ve seen Sauron’s headquarters as a tasty cake. Here it is as a gingerbread house tower. According to Turkulainen, Jarno Koivula and his friend Roy made the menacing model using about 30lb. of gingerbread. Jarno and Roy made the tasty tower a gingerbread house making competition, which awarded the two as the winners.

We’ve seen lots of geeky gingerbread treats, but none so tough as this gingerbread Wookiee. Let them win at games or they will rip your arm out of its socket. Eat a gingerbread Wookiee and they will likely punch you in the gut from the inside.

I can never decide which side I’m on. Autobots or Decepticons. This amazing gingerbread Optimus Prime has swayed me. It was made by a friend of a friend of Redditor downvotedagain.

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 confectionery crossover that has so far eluded us on the TV screen. The Doctor and the Detective together at last. Both shows are headed by Steven Moffat, both characters are equally crazy and brilliant, and now they are a part of the same Christmas treat.

Forget the world’s largest gingerbread house. We have all heard the phrase “It takes a village” and a gingerbread village is exactly what we have here. It is on display at Texas A&M University. Let’s all crash the party.

This time of year everybody is cooking. Well, sure, some of us are cooking in the kitchen and others are cooking in RVs, but one thing we can all cook up are cool gingerbread treats. Like this one.

At Christmas time everyone loves to wear those antler headbands, even AT-ATs. This awesome gingerbread creation captures an Imperial Walker getting in the holiday spirit. And a little snowspeeder too. I would love to wrap some tow cables around it’s legs and trip it into my hungry and waiting cartoon mouth.
