LOL! Star Wars, Meet MacGyver!

Just watch.  Enough said.  If you’re a child of the 80s this is the perfect thing.  I totally would have watched this.  I think I’ve seen every single MacGyver episode ever, and don’t get me started on the original Star Wars.  I had the Underoos!

Thinkgeek’s hilarious April Fools day ad for a Tauntaun Sleeping Bag may become a realilty due to overwhelming response for the product.

From Thinkgeek:

Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for.

Who say’s we’re in a recession when there’s a demand for a Tauntaun sleeping bag? Heck, I totally want one for myself!

The things people do with Legos amazes me.  Thomas Benedikt created this 7 Foot Long Mon Calamari flagship from Return of the Jedi.

From Gizmodo:

“The stunning Lego model—created by Thomas Benedikt—was created to scale with the official Lego Star Destroyer, which is an impressive 3,104 pieces beast on its own. According to Thomas, the ship was almost impossible to recreate in Lego because of the difficulty of its surfaces: There’s no right angles at all.”
