In 1982, a group of young Star Wars fans trekked into the California desert to crash the outdoor set of Return of the Jedi, and this seven-minute video of scenes from the Sail Barge, featuring Luke, R2-D2, Slave Leia and Boba Fett, was the result.

Shot and edited on Super8 film with Amiga titles. Filmed in Sand-o-Vision

LEGO builder Paul Vermeesch put together this wonderful rendition of M.C. Escher’s Relativity using Star Wars LEGO pieces. Each axis is based on a different scene from the films.

It’s a holographic LEGO window display. In Norway (but apparently on view at every major LEGO retailer right now). Youtuber H1tmonchan sez:

When me and my friend walked trough the mall (Amfi) in Steinkjer, we got nerdgasm as we saw this brilliant Star Wars-Lego hologram in a toy store.

Well, it sure beats the Phantom Menace.

A highlight of the the annual Star Wars Weekend at Walt Disney World is the ‘Dance-Off with the Star Wars Stars’ aka the ‘Hyperspace Hoopla’.

Yes.

There’s an extended 20 minute version of this year’s event if you’re feeling anyway short-changed.
