Star Wars Cereal Boxes = Fug Yes. Wash It Down With Aunt Beru’s Blue Milk.
Holy crap, this shit is dope as fuck. Lucky nerds are going to get these Star Wars cereal boxes at the upcoming Star Wars Orgy of Nerdiness, Celebration V:
via comics alliance:
Sixteen mini-boxes will be given away at Collectors Panels during Celebration V in Orlando from August 12-14, according to StarWars.com. The parodies of classic grocery store varieties include Hothsted Flakes, Raisin Han, Troop Loops and Vlix, which only the most hardcore of Star Wars fans and “Droids” cartoon series followers will likely understand.
Artists Jeff Correll, Mattias Rendahl, Grant Gould, Bill Cable, Chris Reiff, Jeff Carlisle, Scott D.M. Simmons, and Chris Trevas contributed imagery to these freebees, whose production runs will be capped at 400 boxes each. Count Dookula actually looks mighty tasty. If there’s a cereal manufacturer taking notes out there, there are plenty of lightsaber spoons out there ready to dig into this deliciousness if given the chance.
This is ridiculously win. Hit the jump to check out all the other boxes that belong to this line.
R2D2, Where are you?

Trying to remember how to draw R2-D2 while waiting on some pasta last night. Realized I never looked at him very closely.
Paul Pope doodling Star Wars? Nerd heaven.
Holy Mung! Stormtroopers Track Leia’s Ass Down To A Subway Car
I came across this video today over at Slashfilm, and it’s pretty tremendous. Why can’t this shit ever happen to me on the subway?
via slashfilm:
Improv Everywhere is a group of New Yorkers who love to “cause scenes of chaos and joy in public places.” You’ve surely seen many videos of their previous stunts, as many of them have gone viral around the interwebs. Their latest mission was to reenact he first Princess Leia / Darth Vader scene from Star Wars on a New York City subway car.
Seriously, what the fuck. Whenever I’m on a subway the most exciting thing that happens to me is that guy who is leaning against the last seat on the train, smelling of piss and reminding me of my future.
Hit the jump and check out subway action not involving homelessness or urine.
Leia’s Slave Outfit = Hotter In Sand

Ohhh shit! Who knew that Tatooine has such ballin’ beaches?
Forget Dogs, AT-AT Walkers Are A Man’s Best Friend
Patrick Bolvin, the dude who brought us Iron Baby, concocted a cute-as-fuck short in which he addresses the important question: what would it be like if man’s best friend was an AT-AT? The results are predictable: it would be fucking sweet. Check out the video after the jump, and try and console yourself that you cannot, in fact, own one.
Skywalker? Dark Side My Fuggin’ Ass!
They’re always like “Luke is so dark in Jedi! He’s positively tempted!” Dark side my ass! Look at him, he’s positively jovial. The only thing dark about Lukey is that he’s spilled mayonnaise in his southpole wookie fur while thinking about his sister.
Frak Yes, Maim Yourself With A Real Life Lightsaber!
Ohhh fucking shit! I got midichlorians coming out of the fucking ass, and I’m ready to rock! A real life lightsaber? With the ability to blind and kill my friends in hot pursuit of amazing Darwin awards? Let’s fucking do this!

Built with the blue-laser diode of a dismantled Casio projector, the $200 Spyder III Pro Arctic is the world’s most powerful portable laser. It can permanently blind you and set your skin–or anything else, really–on fire almost instantly.
“With greater power comes the need for greater responsibility.” That’s actually what Wicked Lasers, the mad geniuses behind the Spyder III, wrote to us in an email describing this terrifying piece of technology. They wanted to make one thing very clear: this is not merely a laser pointer, and it’s certainly not a toy. What it is, really, is a weapon.
The diodes in Casio’s new mercury-free Green Slim projectors apparently allow for unprecedentedly powerful portable lasers, and Wicked Lasers has gleefully harvested them for the 1 Watt Spyder III. Comparing it to the $2000 Sonar, the company’s reigning portable laser powerhouse, Wicked Lasers explains that the blue Spyder III laser is 2000 times brighter to the human eye, and, at $200, 1/10th the price.
Grab a couple of pairs, reenact the Empire Strikes Back duel, and leave your friend in the hospital! It sounds like prime local television news fodder! Maim the force me with you!
