A special lightsaber

From now on, when you throw a party at your place, you can experience a new way of bottle opening, without destroying it... don´t believe me?
The picture says it all!

A partir de agora, quando organizarem festas lá em casa para a malta amiga, já podem experimentar uma nova técnica para abertura de caricas, sem destruir a garrafa... não acreditam?
A imagem diz tudo!

Star Wars: Blood Ties - A Tale of Jango and Boba Fett #1

A new comic book is about to hit the stands in August. Probably one of the most awaited Star Wars comics for the summer. It will get to Portugal in September or October. Can´t wait to grab it and check Jango and Boba together in action!

Corsets by Evening Arwen

California based costume and corset maker Evening Arwen has crafted a fine pair of fancy unlicensed corsets based on the costumes of Darth Vader and the Imperial Storm Troopers. These may be some of the most important corsets ever constructed.

Luckily for Mao, Stalin didn´t cut his hand off.
But I guess he should´ve...

A thought to my friends

Lately, I´ve been thinking about a very nice thing. As I run this blog, just for pure joy and for being a true fan of the Star Wars universe, every week I receive some new stuff about Star Wars from my friends. The line of thought is simple, if I wanted to I didn´t need to search for anything else about the saga, because my friends send me lots of info regularly. So, this post is for them, for always sharing with me this passion I have, keeping it going and making me happy. Love to all of you guys :)

::::::::

Ultimamente tenho matutado em algo bastante porreiro. Enquanto mantenho este blogue, apenas por puro divertimento e por ser um verdadeiro fã do universo Star Wars, recebo todas as semanas dos meus amigos informação nova, relativa a Star Wars. A minha linha de raciocínio é simples, hoje, se quisesse, já não precisava de procurar mais nada sobre a saga, porque os meus amigos o fazem por mim. Enviam-me montes de coisas com regularidade. Por isso, este post é para eles, por partilharem sempre comigo esta paixão que tenho, mantendo-a e deixando-me feliz. Um bem haja para todos vocês :)

Hoth concepts

The Old Republic will be the brand new release from Lucas Arts, a magnificent game that should be out in Spring 2011. While the project moves forward, new pictures, trailers and concepts come out. Today, I´ll focus my attention in Hoth, a well known planet from the saga. It appears that Hoth was already a war zone in past times...

Empire Hotline

"Enter Craig Miller, Lucasfilm's first director of fan relations, who recently uncovered his cassette copy of the phone messages (likely the only copy in existence) and generously shared them with us. To our surprise, the recording revealed five -- not four -- voice performances, including a previously unknown Princess Leia message recorded by Carrie Fisher!"

Keep on reading here. You can also hear the 5 samples from C3PO, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and of course, Darth Vader. Enjoy!

What if?

What if The Empire Strikes Back has had a different casting? Like, Kurt Russell was Han Solo, Cindy Williams played Princess Leia and Robby Benson was the hero Luke Skywalker? They all screen tested and nearly got parts in the movie. The great Toshiro Mifune was considered as Obi-Wan. It could've been a very, very different Star Wars...

::::::::

E se O Império Contra-Ataca tivesse tido um casting diferente? Tipo, se Kurt Russell fosse o Han Solo, a Cindy Williams fizesse de Princesa Leia e o Robby Benson tivesse o papel do herói Luke Skywalker? Todos eles fizeram testes e quase conseguiram papéis para o filme. O grande Toshiro Mifune foi uma hipótese para representar o papel de Obi-Wan. Podia ter sido um Star Wars muito, muito diferente...

Adidas Originals World Cup Party

Once again, Adidas has made an excelent job.
"The new cut seamlessly combines the original footage with new shots of our favorite electro-house droids, Snoop Dogg, Noel Gallagher, Ciara, David Beckham, Ian Brown and more. As far as we can tell, Daft Punk did not remix the original cantina music, though."

Enjoy!
