Darth Vader visits Disneyland



Many Star Wars fans have cried foul with Disney's recent purchase of Lucasfilm, and the announcement of an Episode VII. But that didn't stop Disney from opening their doors to the dark lord and allowing him and a couple Stormtroopers to visit Disneyland.

Star Wars: The Blueprints



One thing that has ALWAYS amazed me is the creation of worlds & galaxys in the minds of directors and how they put them on film. I have always had a vivid imagination, but most of the time it stayed just within my imagination. I was never able to transfer them from my mind. This truly is an art and something I have always appreciated.

One of the magical things about Star Wars in the world universe that is created and all the ships, robots & various lifeforms. This limited edition book contains the blueprints for buildings & renderings for characters like R2D2 & C3PO.

Press release:
Star Wars: The Blueprints brings together, for the first time, the original blueprints created for the filming of the Star Wars Saga. Drawn from deep within the Lucasfilm Archives and combined with exhaustive and insightful commentary from best-selling author J. W. Rinzler, the collection maps in precise, vivid, and intricate detail the very genesis of the most enduring and beloved story ever to appear onscreen.

Star Wars: The Blueprints gives voice to the groundbreaking and brilliant engineers, designers, and artists that have, in film after film, created the most imaginative and iconic locales in the history of cinema. Melding science and art, these drawings giving birth to fantastic new worlds, ships, and creatures.

Most importantly, Blueprints shows how in bringing this extraordinary epic to life, the world of special effects as we know it was born. For the first time, here you will see the initial concepts behind such iconic Star Wars scenes as the Rebel blockade runner hallways, the bridge of General Grievous’s flagship, the interior of the fastest “hunk of junk” in the Galaxy, and Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Never before seen craftsmanship and artistry is evident whether floating on the Death Star, escaping on a speeder bike, or exploring the Tatooine Homestead.

Star Wars: The Blueprints is a limited edition. Only 5,000 hand-numbered English language copies will be available.

Adidas x Star Wars: Hans Solo SL-72



Adidas continues their strong releases from their collab with Star Wars. You may remember the first releases from this project that came out at the beginning of this year.
A couple weeks ago, these arrived to my attention thanks to Josh at Adidas. It's no secret that I am a Star Wars fan, as it was the definition of my childhood.
As a kid, I always wanted to be Luke Skywalker; but with age & time, I began to realize that Han Solo was the man to be.. He's badass, he has a wicked ride; and he gets the girl.. Plus Harrison Ford? Dude was Han Solo AND Indiana Jones...




Now these shoes are any fanboy's fantasy; but what really blew me away is the presentation of these shoes. The first thing you notice is that this is no ordinary Adidas shoe box. The artwork on the box brings back many film memories. But once you open the box, the shoe is simulated to be frozen in carbonite, just like the epic scene in Empire Strikes Back. The boys at Adidas thought of everything.



Now I'm not sure if the '77 is supposed to represent the release date of Star Wars IV: A New Hope; but seeing as the inspiration for this shoe comes from The Empire Strikes Back, which was released in 1980. But I won't complain, as my number is '77..



Of course, this is the image Adidas would put on the tongue...



I don't think these shoes will ever see the light of day, as they are way to nice to ruin... Tahnks again to to Josh & Adidas.


PS - Han shot first...
