WTF – Is George Lucas re-releasing another Blu-Ray cut of the Star Wars Trilogy with additional scenes and new 3D effects? Nope. This time, Dark Horse Comics is publishing the original “Star Wars” rough draft by George Lucas before the mega-iconic 1977 hit film Star Wars.

Future Flicks: Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM update!
I think Guillermo del Toro is about to crush the Transformers franchise with a single Pacific Rim blow!
The fact is, Pacific Rim touches on all popular elements of a fantastic science fiction in the near future which includes sleek but robust militarized technology armor suits, giant manned battle robots as tanks and a fight for humanity in a war against gargantuan beasts unleashed from the sea as it appears from the trailer. And from the trailer, I would have to say Pacific Rim is much more layered than a Transformer flick and promises to give us the equivalent of what Star Wars gave to audiences in 1980s – a jaw dropping awe. Watch out George Lucas!

Drinking Tea with the Death Star
I am more of a coffee drinker but this will definitely give me an excuse to drink more tea – a Death Star tea infuser. It’s so cool that it even comes with a Tie Fighter at the end of the chain – as if it is guarding the Death Star. Can you imagine the hours of fun you will have playing with this…..I mean while drinking your favorite brand of tea of course.
MSRP: $19.99USD

Lightsaber Chopsticks!
I tell my friends I’m buying these lightsaber chopsticks for my son but seriously, we all know this is for me. This is the newer version by Kotobukiya with LED lights glowing while you eat. You never know the next version might have an actual laser instead of an LED light. Imagine how cool that would be – just press the button and the lightsaber will slice your food.
Origami Yoda
Can’t wait until the rest of the Star Wars characters are made into origami form . Can you just imagine how awesome it will be to see the X-wing Fighter, Tie Fighter, or Darth Vader folded in paper?
