Craftster user, Kirsa, crocheted this adorable Darth Vader Amigurumi as a Christmas gift for her nephew. The coolest thing about this Darth Vader is the detail on his chest and…his helmet is removable! (Okay, so I lied, the coolest thing about him is that I got to use “adorable” and “Darth Vader” together in a sentence).
So I’ll just come out and say it, as far as Star Wars goes, ewoks are my favorite. Normally, I like the tough heroic types, or the super villains, but in Star Wars, I love ewoks. So when I was cruising the Star Wars Blog and saw this adorable Wicket the Ewok Amigurumi made by Angry Angel on craftster, I was smitten. The even more adorable part? She crocheted this cute little guy for her own cute little guy, and you can recreate it with her patterns!
I recently featured a Blackberry case made by a follower of geek crafts on twitter, Dawn Crawford. Being the good wife that she is, she made her husband, Brian Crawford send us a couple submissions as well, and so we thank her, because this Space Invaders Star Wars Mashup Skateboard he made for the Bordo Bello fundraiser for the arts this year is just awesome. Not only did he take inspiration from the awesome Space Invaders 8-bit look, but he incorporated into a Star Wars theme, and if that wasn’t enough for you, this baby lights up!
Pictures don’t really do this beauty justice, so be sure to check out their husband & wife craft blog Crap I Make to see the video Dawn shot of her hubby’s most excellent creation!

DawnACrawford is geek crafts new biggest fan, she has recently discovered our blog and tweeted about it around five times in the last two days, needless to say, when I saw a submission from her in my inbox, I was really curious to see what awaited me at the other end of the link. It was this That’s No Moon Blackberry Case that she posted on her blog. It has the Death Star on one side and the Tie FIghter on the other, perfect for the Star Wars geek that can’t bear to be separated from their blackberry! Too cool.
Our first Christmas-themed craft! Craftster user Ilia sewed Star Trek stockings out of fleece and canvas. She was kind enough to share a link to a free stocking pattern.
