Oh my, it's not often our two most popular themes intersect! Excellent.

In 2009, EMPIDOC posted images of this Volkswagen T1 van that has been awesomely transformed into a Star Wars Imperial AT-AT Walker.

Oh I think we need one of these!

Volkswagen has worked up a sequel commercial to last years Lil Darth Vader Superbowl ad. I am psyched as this teaser is hilarious. The walk-on dog at the end is my favorite.

"Visualizing the meaning of Darth Vader’s famous quote “The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force”.

Food for thought...

Got the heads-up from WebUrbanist, but unfortunately their take on the story is having the 404-flu.

There was a design contest for zombie safehouses (aptly named the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition) and the winners have been chosen. The winning designs range from personal sized emergency shelters to town sized safe zones. Well presented, fun and some great ideas.

Ahhh, the Star Wars incest jokes never get old. :)

Duane, you have a project for next years Halloween.

Wouldn't work on a pug, but perfect on a greyhound. (sorry Brian)

The IHL Port Huron Icehawks had annual "Star Wars" nights, wearing sweaters themed to Darth Maul and Boba Fett. On Saturday, the NAHL Port Huron Fighting Falcons hold their second annual Star Wars Night at McMorran Arena against Imperial forces the Jamestown Ironmen.

And they'll be wearing Chewbacca hockey jerseys. Which is awesome. From the Falcons:

This year's jersey features the mighty wookiee Chewbacca, with Rebel Alliance logos on the shoulders, and Millennium Falcon silhouettes around the waist. A pink breast cancer awareness ribbon appears on the upper left of the jersey's front side. The jerseys were designed by Great Lakes Garrison's Scott Withers.

The official Star Wars blog is looking for this customized Celica GT Liftback that was given away in a promotional contest in '77. Looks like a sweet ride: then and now.

I hope this helps the reader and my sitemates. It's never too early to talk about Star Wars with your kids...

I am totally going to be looking out for this guy who gets to take an AT-AT to work downtown. Such a lucky man.

I wonder how it corners on the city streets?

LOVE the wampa fur and that Adidas has put out a pair of Star Wars shoes that an adult wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen wearing.

Via Flavorwire's post about the 'Most Exciting Books Coming Your Way This Fall', there is a new zombie novel coming out in October: 'Zone One'. It's about a group of soldiers (?) who have to clear out a section of a city from zombies after the Marines have wiped out the hordes.

I'll give it a whirl.

What do you think JB, will this get you to run a marathon?

Oh, happy day! World War Z has started filming!

The sweater might be over the top, but the beanie might be just right.
