Star Wars Postage Stamps

Dutch artist Stefan Van Zoggel makes sending love letters to your Wookiee easier with Star Wars-themed postage stamps. Add an extra stamp for addresses in a galaxy far, far away.

In a recent interview with Wired the artist said:

“The collision of the sci-fi futuristic world of Star Wars and the old, traditional world of postage stamps back in the day is what excited me about this project. It wouldn’t be as fun to just make droid holograms, or even stamps with randomStar Wars images on [them]. I like the fact that they look like they were used a century ago to send post to another planet.”

Volkswagen Imperial AT-AT Walker

This Volkswagen AT-AT Microbus sculpture was spotted by tech journalist Jack Schofield. While the exact origin of this elephant-like monstrosity hasn’t yet been discovered, it’s definitely fun to look at. If the photo is accurate, then someone has built a huge sculpture that features a VW bus that’s been modified to walk on AT-AT legs. The best use I've ever seen for a VW bus!
