LEGO’s new Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon Exclusive First Edition (gasp, wheeze) set is available for purchase at $499.99 with a limit of 5 (cough) per customer. With over 5,000 pieces it is now the biggest LEGO set made and will surely take some "Force" to complete. It’s sized at a convenient minifigure scale so that the included Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa minifigures can hang out inside and steer, push buttons, and twirl knobs and stuff. Dorkatron bonus: First Edition sets include an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity and a display card with detailed ship specs.

Thanks J. Choe

Are you sitting comfortably? Then let me breathe heavily. Schooooooooooooo. Once upon a time, there was a Jedi Knight called Anakin Skywalker, who went in search of the Dark Side. Schooooooooooooo.

$40 bucks at novelty stores, or you can Jedi mind trick someone for it.

Star Wars 2

holo darth sidious Star Wars 2

Yet again I have managed to write about Star Wars. This time its about holograms for video games. It was developed by SeeReal in Dresden, Germany, is the largest holographic video display ever built. For those of you who don’t know, holograms recreate all the light that would come from an object if it were really in front of you. A surface, or screen, diffracts light shone onto it to generate waves that interfere with each other to create the 3D effect.

This is some really cool technology (for the full article read here) and personally,  I can’t wait for holographic phones, so when someone calls their image pops up in an eerie and malicious way. Yeah, kind of like Star Wars.
