Star Wars “Rebel Scum” hat

So Star Wars is finally out on Blu Ray, and while I won’t be buying it, my brother did and he’s really excited about it. So in honor of everyone who is excited I present the knitted “Rebel Scum” hat! greenchick knitted this hat for her husband to wear when the Trilogy originally came out on dvd back in 2004.

I haven’t seen all of the changes made to the movies, what do those of you who bought the blu ray think of them?

Serenity crew amigurumi

“Just focus! The Alliance said they were gonna waltz through Serenity Valley. And we choked ’em with those words. We’ve done the impossible, and that makes us mighty. Just a little while longer. Our angels are gonna be soaring overhead, raining fire on those arrogant Khags. So you hold. You hold! Go!”

Firefly Amigurumi crafts I do love me some Joss, especially in the form of Firefly and Serenity. So when I saw these fabulous Firefly amigurumi by Lucinda879 on Craftster, I just had to share. Aren’t they shiny?

Be sure to click through to check out more pics. I love how she combined crochet bodies with fabric clothing, and the finely detailed hair. And check out the realistic version of Vera, sitting quite cunningly on Jayne’s utility belt.

Easy Crafts Wikia Interview with Bonnie Burton

Loved this Easy Crafts Wikia interview Christina Loff did with Star Wars author + blogger extraordinaire Bonnie Burton this month! It’s full of gems like this one:

EC: Which Star Wars character do you think would be the craftiest?

BB: I’d like to think that Yoda knits when he’s alone… I’d love to see the kind of craft projects Yoda would come up with. He probably has a model of the Jedi Academy made completely out of toothpicks.

That I’d like to see!

You know it’s only 103 days ’til Christmas?

Yup… tell me to shut up, I would! ;-)

Or even better, use your force powers to pin me up against the wall by my neck.

Natalie from Rose Colored Glass Half Full has a glorious tradition of making Star Wars themed Christmas ornaments every year. Check out the 2009 and 2010 collections here.

Reader Submission: Star Wars Manatees

FUN FACT: you can use the Submit a Geekcraft link to show us stuff you think we might be interested in. It can be something you’ve made yourself but you can also submit geeky-goodness made by another fine citizen of the interwebs… Is there a prize for being featured?… well… no. But you will get the kudos of having your name mentioned here on the blog. High Five.

This imaginative embroidery piece serves to answer the question that you didn’t know you asked. What would Princess Leia look like as a Manatee?

“This is not my work. I saw it on Craftster today and had to share it with you. The Star Wars manatees were created by another member of craftster’s website, Erica_Tattoos. Love your site!”

Thanks Robin, and well done Erica Tattoos :-)
