Trek VS Wars - an update

The rivalry between Star Wars and Star Trek has recently been expressed through William Shatner and Carrie Fisher. I did an earlier post on the subject, and you can revisit it here. Now Mr Sulu AKA George Takei has given his input into the matter with a nice video and which he offers these wise words:

Fellow star folks, cool it down and shut your big wormholes! Each is wonderful in its own special way.

I agree, Shatner should shut up. Anyway, it's a cool video and Sulu is pretty funny. He wants to unite the two star camps against a common enemy: Twilight. I don't know what the star folks can do about the Twilight juggernaut, but it's a completely different type of movie. Who would you rather see: Princess Leia, Captain Kirk, or an emo Vampire?

Star Wars Christmas

It's almost Christmas, and who could forget that wonderful Star Wars Christmas Special starring Chewie and all his Wookie pals? Not to mention Bea Arthur's stunning performance, it was a very special festive sensation in all its kooky glory. As Adam Frucci says in his great post at Splitsider, it's a bit like a Tim and Eric episode; kind of surreal, goofy humour. Well here you can watch it again on Google Video and relive the magic!

Ninja Force Battle

A lone Jedi confronts an army of Sith ninjas in this amazing battle! Great fighting and Force action by Team2X! Love the ending!

Darth College Carol

The students at Algonquin College are studying hard for exams, when suddenly Darth Vader appears with a Santa hat and an electric guitar! He plays a few power chords and then conducts an array of disciples in a rousing rendition of 'Carol of the Bells'. See how he holds the entire library in his Force-Grip and shows that there truly is no limit to his power!

Cello Hello

Finally some high-class Star Wars references! This is an amazing video of Steven Sharp Nelson playing the Star Wars theme on cello. He plays both the Jedi and the Sith parts, and it's all acted out really real; completed with lightsabres for the cello bows of course, and lots of other cool action. I like it when Darth Vader turns up and starts playing Cantina Band on the accordian, and Chewbacca also features. Steven Sharp Nelson makes other videos as The Piano Guys, and he ends the video with some Jedi mind tricks and attempts at hypnosis to further The Piano Guys' Agenda.

The above was high-class, now the standard is very much lowered. There is this pretty dumb Youtube video response by MeganSpeaks, in which she asks whether you would rather be Jedi or Sith.

And this monstrocity from lovelliemain:

Star Wars Christmas

This is a pretty awesome home-made comedy video by a true Star-Wars fan. The story is great: while playing Skyrim, Francis is interrupted by his mum asking him if he wants to open some Christmas presents. Although Skyrim is an absorbing game and he seems to be quite a gamer, who could resist the lure of opening presents early? Not this guy, and it looks like this would be the only possible reason (besides necessities) that he'd willingly stop playing. See his eyes light up when she gives him two presents, which unwrap to reveal Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader lightsabres. When he is unwrapping one, he quite rightly says "This better not be that Qui Gon Jinn shit." Luckily it wasn't. The rest of the video consists of Francis going nuts and trying to duel his disabled brother, who is 'the worst Vader'.

This is actually, youtube user boogie2988 and he has a channel with a lot of videos and playlists. He does lots of videos playing this Francis character, but he also does serious videos. Even though this is meant to be funny and is scripted, only a Jedi could be this convincing..

Infinite and yummy village faces deathstar attack!

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!
