C-3PO Raps, Sells Out

Even though his rhymes are more than a few parceks west of terrible, you have to admit that the chatty Droid’s all gold chasis is probably the heaviest piece of bling in hip-hop history. And that’s a long, and bizarre history.

Manly Art: Star Wars VII Poster By Adam Shickling

With news of the new J.J. Abrams-helmed Star Wars movies, the geekosphere has been atwitter for months. Artist Adam Shickling decided to imagine what the sequel would look like if it starred middle-aged Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams and a clearly pissed Harrison Ford. We have to tip our hat to him for being merciful to Carrie Fisher, and Chewbacca, because last time we checked, he aged pretty badly.

Emperor Obama? The American People Petition for a Death Star

You have to love democracy, as long as politicians rely on a popular vote, they’ll be beholden to the people. Case in point, The White House, started the “We The People” page on their website to create a platform for voters to express the “issues that matter to them,” and promised to respond to any petition that reaches 25,000 signatures. Well, America has spoken, and 29,000 and counting Americans want a Death Star.

“By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense,” the petition says.

If you thought they were an Evil Empire before, just wait until our American Cousins have a giant orb of death floating above the earth. Damn you democracy.

Manfographics: Star Wars Explained

There’s something about The Star Wars series that puts it squarely on the intersection between “manly” and “nerdy.” Truly though, the “nerdy” can keep the uninitiated (read: girlfriends and wives) from getting in the game. Thankfully, these infographics from Portuguese designer Murera should help you distinguish your Wookies from your Jawas and make some type of sense of all those Galactic Senate hearings.

Just kidding, that sh*t made no sense to anyone.
