Tag: The Empire Strikes Back

So you’ve been freezing to death on the surface of Hoth, and spent the night sleeping inside of the smelly guts of your tauntaun pal to keep warm. Now that you’re done with your near-death experience, you’ve got to do something with that carcass, right?

While the Imperial AT-AT Walker was designed as a war machine on legs, it really ended up being quite a flop due to its fatal design flaws. That said, AT-ATs do make pretty cute pets, if you housebreak them.

Do or do not buy this collectible. There is no try. Your holidays are just not complete until you decorate with some cool Star Wars merch, like this 7″ tall Jedi Master Yoda Musical Glitter Globe. This fancy-schmancy snow, I mean glitter globe is available from The Bradford Exchange for $99.99.

Despite numerous Star Wars films being released in the 3+ decades since its release, The Empire Strikes Back is still the best movie in the saga for many of us. Sure, The Force Awakens was very good, but it’s a tall hill to climb to best the 1980 classic.

As good as The Force Awakens and Rogue One were, The Empire Strikes Back is still my all-time favorite Star Wars film. From the main and subplots, to the character development, to the ahead-of-their-time visual effects, it’s still one of the best popcorn flicks of all time.

Redditor PoorKidstoys daughter goes to a school that has a special “Drive In Movie” day for the last day of school. That sounds really cool, but the best part is that kids get to bring in a homemade cardboard car to sit in while they all watch the movie.

Halloween is a holiday that any adults and children of all ages can get behind. I love to see the custom costumes that people whip up each year, and the coolest kid’s costume I’ve ever seen is right here. Motorcycle leather artist Clinton Case created this epic cosplay for his son, earning him a nomination for Dad of the Year.

It would be great to be rich. You could have all the exotic cars you want, and your mansion could be filled with awesome themed rooms. If you have about $15 million lying around, you might want to drop that dough on this awesome California mansion.

They say the way you think has a lot to do with how well you adapt to your environment. If you think it’s hotter than balls, you will feel like it is hotter than balls. If you live in Texas and are getting into a car that has been closed up all day in the summer sun, you know what hotter than balls actually feels like and no amount of wishful thinking will change that.

If it’s snowy outside where you are, you probably feel like you are on Hoth already. You might as well have a Tauntaun to ride. Redditor Xnipek posted this photo of their friend sitting on the back of an awesome snowman that he built.

So, here’s the deal. In the MOC Madness competition, all the Star Wars things are going steampunk. The Steam Wars competition is broken into five rounds, which started this past July. The first challenge was to take a starfighter and re-imagine it as a minifig scale steampunk fighter.

The battle of Hoth. A song of ice and fire…power. An epic battle full of snowspeeders and AT-ATs. Now, Cinefix has brought back the awesomeness with a homemade remake of a scene from the battle in The Empire Strikes Back.

This Han Solo frozen in carbonite rug is perfect for hiding that trap door to your Rancor pit and it will match the real Han frozen on your wall. It really ties the room together.

This adorable crocheted Tauntaun will be a great addition to your other plush Star Wars toys. He will look great on your shelf, your couch, in your bed or wherever. He isn’t big enough to cut open if you are facing bitter cold temps though.

I’ve always thought it was creepy to hang the heads of dead animals on your wall. They always look like they are watching you as you move around the room. If you are a big fan of The Empire Strikes Back, you might not mind hanging this animal head on your wall.

Jewelry designer Paul Bierker of Paul Michael Jewelry is a busy man. When he’s not designing Boba Fett, Zelda Tri-Force or R2-D2 rings, he’s making pendants that look like Han Solo frozen in carbonite. This pendant is handmade from sterling silver, and features our favorite scruffy-looking nerf-herder, frozen peacefully in semi-eternal sleep.
