Star Wars

Darth Vader in a suit. This brilliant concept is the work of an artist named John Woo, who has imagined what pop culture favorites from 'Star Wars,' 'The Dark Knight' and more would look like as high-end runway models.

Chewbacca is the true man's best friend. In 'Star Wars,' he always had Han Solo's back, even when they were about to be shot in the head by a bunch of stormtroopers. He's the tough fur ball with a heart of gold, so it's only natural for someone to want to create their own real-life version, which is what happened to this dog.

We were first introduced to Chubbs, the adorable pug dressed up in a Wampa costume, in an adorable viral video. But now his owner, an obvious 'Star Wars' fan, has made Chubbs' first fan-made video debut by re-enacting the famous scene from 'The Empire Strikes Back' where Luke Skywalker encounters the snow monster on the planet of Hoth.

For the most part, iconic movie characters become indistinguishable from the actors who played them on the big screen. But what if the actors who were originally approached to play the roles had said “yes” instead of “no?” With Jennifer Hudson’s revelation in her new book that she turned down the title role in ‘Precious’ that put Gabourey Sidibe on the map, it’s a good time to take a look at some

Darth Vader may be an evil galactic overlord, but that doesn't mean he's above being a corporate shill for Madison Avenue. Hey, times are tough these days, even for a Sith Lord.

... Only the coolest hang out place ever. By mashing up the title song and sequence from 'Cheer's' with images from the Cantina bar in 'Star Wars', suddenly the notorious "hive of scum and villainy" doesn't seem so bad at all.

Here's a supercut showing every instance of characters uttering the words "the Force" in the six 'Star Wars' films.

Let's say the little green man arrive and they aren't very friendly. We could just use some of that good old human ingenuity and build a Death Star from 'Star Wars' to zap their home planet, right? Well, it doesn't seem likely. The folks at Centives.net net did some calculations, based on how other pieces of heavy weaponry are made, and determined 1.08x1015 tons of steel are needed to assemble a D

For every role that can be considered "Oscar bait," there are the roles that are completely out of the norm for the Academy Awards.  The actors on our list all gave performances that have transcended Oscars and are more well-known for their contributions to pop culture.

The force is strong in these two lightsaber wielding turtles. Who will win out in this display of the Jedi arts?

When it comes to babies, Star Wars robot R2-D2 speaks their language. You can "dada" and "mama" your infant all day long, but R2 knows what they really want to talk about is "blurpl zip."

'Star Wars: Episode 1-The Phantom Menace' is considered by many fans of the epic series to be the worst installment, largely because of one extremely annoying character named Jar Jar Binks. With the coming re-release of TPM in 3D, PistolShrimps, felt inspired to create a humorous alternate ending appropriately named 'Bye Bye Jar Jar,' blessing audiences with the not-so-unfortunate demise of this m

A man from Portland, Oregon who went on a tear in a toy store with a lightsaber has been sentenced. And it's not to be slowly digested in the stomach pit of a Sarlacc for the next thousand years.

In the extended version of this year's highly anticipated Volkswagen Super Bowl ad, a chubby dog named Bolt puts himself on a weight loss plan so he can catch a 2012 VW Beetle. And Darth Vader himself appears in a reference to VW's awesome "Vader Kid" commercial from last year.

As awesome as it is, some folks have a tendency to take the 'Star Wars' universe a bit too seriously. Count Tony Perkins among those who has trouble separating his fantasy from his reality after he railed against software manufacture Bioware's plans to allow gay relationships in their massive multi-player online game 'Star Wars: The Old Republic.'
