It was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away when I last posted to this blog, well it's still a galaxy far far away, but now The Force has moved this young Jedi to make another attempt at the perfect Star Wars blog post.
I just have to convey my deep appreciation and very real pleasure when I lay my eyes upon this edible - and electric - tribute to Star Wars! This is a skillfully constructed chocolate, breakfast cereal, and gingerbread Ewok village and dazzling green LED deathstar! I can't say enough how magnificent this is; this fan has gone to such lengths to affirm their love of Star Wars, but also has done so well with it to create a priceless - and yummy, by the look of it - artefact. This is really an amazing use of The Force and impressive to say the least! The Ewoks look so cool and cute and are so well detailed they could even be toys if they weren't chocolate; there are even C3PO and R2D2 hangin' out with the 'woks!
This is the creation of baker extraordinairre Darcy at the Infinite Yums blog, and I also understand he received assistance from an entity known as Lemur on the deathstar. He built the Ewok village for a charity auction, and I'm sure it will fetch a good amount. Here is a great photo of the beautiful village but there are many more on their blog, and you can also read up on the whole process. Great work, Darcy and Lemur!
Mission statement
Star Wars: an epic film franchise that first began with "A New Hope" in 1977, although did it really begin then? Episode 1 - "A Phantom Menace" - was released over 20 years later as the batch of CGI prequels renewed interest in the Star Wars series, and there may even be more films to come. Star Wars is a hugely successful franchise, and has clearly captured the collective imagination. The archetypes and universal characters of the Star Wars world capture something deep in all of us. The philosophy of the Star Wars films is also very interesting, with the Jedi and the Sith representing polarities of experience. The Jedi philosophy is very related to Zen, and The Force is a direct reference to Zen and other eastern philosophies.
The premise of this blog is to showcase the many new innovations, inventions, artefacts and ideas that are inspired by the pop-culture phenomenon known as "Star Wars." It is amazing how many Star Wars-inspired things constantly pop up, and it doesn't seem like people can get enough. From Star Wars tattoos to Storm Trooper helmets and Darth Vaders made out of Lego, fans always find new ways to show their adoration. I for one am determined to get to the bottom of why our culture is so persistently fascinated by these films and the mythology surrounding them. This blog will explore and document the ongoing cultural fascination of the pop phenomenon known as "Star Wars".
