Back to Suvudu's casting call...I was fine with it when they were talking about characters like Mara Jade and Talon Kaarde- you know, the "new" people. But when they got to characters from the original trilogy it got a little weird for me. The saving grace? David Tennant was one of the choices for Wedge Antilles- I can totally see that, straight down to the Scottish accent. But the Han Solo choices? Give me a break! There's only one other man besides Harrison Ford who could play that part- Bruce Campbell. :) Sorry, Nathan Fillion- you played an awesome smuggler on Firefly, but Bruce totally has you on this one.
Okay, now that I've had my little rant, it's time to look at some other stuff from around geekville...
- Super duper awesome iPod dock made from an NES controller- because, as much as I love my iPhone, I'm really an 8-bit girl at heart.
- These adorable Star Trek cookies look like Wii Mii characters!
- Space Invaders. It rocks. And it rocks even more as an iPhone case. Viva la 8-bit!
- Have you ever wanted to be Mario in real life? No? Or just not willing to admit it? Either way, you have to check out this cool photo series of people punching the "?" box Mario style, for realz!
- Have I mentioned my love of Space Invaders and 8-bit gaming yet? Oh, well, here's a Coke (and Diet Coke) can set all decked out, retro style.
- These periodic table of cupcakes was made for a bar mitzvah- what an awesome party theme!
- Harry Potter nail art. And lots of it!
- I've seen all the Doctor Whos done as owls, but never as cats!
- Oh, for the love of cute! Crotcheted Teeanage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!
