Get Your Own Face Frozen In Carbonite
By David Ponce
Han Solo frozen in Carbonite is one of those movie icons that never ceases to be popular. Call it a classic. But now you can get your own such figurine, except instead of Han Solo’s face you can have your very own likeness. First you have to go to Disney World in Orlando during a Star Wars Weekend, which is a special event celebrating the movies and such. Then you go to the Carbon-Freeze Me area where you’ll sit for about 30 minutes while expensive cameras take your pictures from several different angles. Once you’ve found that perfect shot, you pay a cool $99 plus shipping and go on your day. 4 weeks later your 8 inch figurine will arrive in the mail. You also get a commemorative bracelet for your troubles.
Know that this starts on May 18th, but that you’ll have to reserve your spot in advance and you must have purchased tickets for the theme park as well. You can reserve now by calling 407-WDW-TECH (407-939-8324).

LEGO R2-D2 Set For May Release
By David Ponce
There aren’t many things that tickle a geek quite as much as Star Wars and LEGOs. So you can imagine the excitement at the news that the LEGO Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 is set to be released in May. Measuring over 12 inches in height, the 2,100 piece robot features a 360 degree rotating head, “a retractable third leg, front panels that open to reveal a universal computer interface arm and a circular saw, and 2 fold-out front spacecraft linkage control arms.” It’s big, it’s heavy and yes, it’s also expensive at $250. It’ll be available directly through the LEGO website.
You should definitely hit the jump to see a video detailing the development process. And watch until the end, it gets a little funny.

Stormtrooper Replica Motorcycling Suits
By David Ponce
Bitchin’ motor runnin’, head out on the intergalactic highway…
Oh, sorry, didn’t see you there while humming my cleverly modified Steppenwolf song that I’m awkwardly using to segue into a description of this motorcycle suit that’s shaped like a Stormtrooper outfit. It’s made from grade-A cowhide and has the following features:
- Incredible attention to detail, featuring form molded details like never before.
- Raised rib detailing on the sleeves, shoulders, legs, torso and midsection perfectly replicating the look of rigid armor.
- Adjustable forearms, biceps, thighs and shin leather armor allow for a personalized ‘custom’ body fit.
- Waist belt is part of the jacket and not removable. Cleverly hidden is the main front zipper which has 3 main access points providing function, while allowing the main torso armor to be uncompromised and true to what was seen on screen.
- Snap buttons on the cuffs and wrist zippers.
- Jacket and Pants zip together at the waist essentially converting this to a one-piece body suit.
- Removable quilted cotton lining.
- CE-approved body armor in the shoulders, forearms/elbow, back spine protector, thighs and knee/shin armor is standard for riders but is easily removed for day-to-day wear.
Sounds like some serious suit right there, and there’s a serious price to match: $1,165 CDN for the whole set, although you can buy it in separate parts. Like, the books cost $150. But let’s face it, you’d look pretty stupid wearing only part of a Stormtrooper biking suit. You’ll still look weird wearing the whole thing, but no one gives a damn because, well, Star Wars is what.
Sales close January 31st, 2012 with delivery in Q2 of that year. The essential helmets, however… don’t appear to be sold with this.

Light Up LED Death Star T-Shirt
By David Ponce
This is a T-Shirt with a Death Star on it. We talk about it because we’re geeks and are bound to talk about Star Wars stuff. This particular T-Shirt is also special because it can light up on command and make it look like the Death Star is firing. And it’s got little sound effects too.
You’re gonna be the life of the party with this!
It’s not available just yet, but the ThinkGeek people are working on getting this in stock by December. Best part is it’s only $30 which is decent for a T-Shirt, let alone one that lights up and makes little sounds.

Here’s A Knitted Death Star
By David Ponce
This won’t be the first time we’ve brought you a cool crocheted creation. Only this time, it’s the Death Star. You guys know you’re gonna miss a few meetings at the Stitch and Bitch club to get this done, right?
Best part, the pattern is free to download.
(Disclaimer: no one at OhGizmo! has ever been near a needle. For reals. At least, not a crochet needle. Heck, we don’t even know the difference between crochet and knitting… Alls we know is tis’ a Death Star)

Spruce Up Your Room With Star Wars Wallpaper
By David Ponce
Looking a little Victorian in its execution, this great Imperial Forces wallpaper is sure to make any Star Wars fan seriously consider its purchase. Covered in repeating patterns of “Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and members of the Empire, this hand-screened, flocked, designer wallpaper is an artistic way to decorate your office, collectibles room, or space station.” Legitimately licensed from Lucasfilm, the wallpaper has the price to match its authenticity: starting at $75 for a 27″ x 90″ that is able to cover 17 sq ft, up to $350 for 27″ x 540″ able to cover 101 sq ft.

Listen To A Couple Of Floppy Drives Play The Star Wars Imperial March
By Andrew Liszewski
I acknowledge that this video of a couple of old 3.5-inch floppy disk drives playing the Imperial March theme from Star Wars could be completely fake. But there’s enough evidence—like how the read/write lights on each drive seem to match the notes being played—to make me optimistic that it’s authentic. If it’s not, it’s not like having to sit through John Williams’ awesome Imperial March is a bad thing.
