This is a video of the folks at Youtube channel The Hackensmith testing the world’s first retractable plasma lightsaber, the construction of which they featured in a build video last week (included below).

This is a small series of children’s board games (plus Cooties) reimagined as horror movie posters by Nashville, Tennessee based merchandise designer and scary movie fan Justin Bryant (physical posters up to 24″ x 36″ available at his shop here).

These are several shots of the 65-foot tall, 82-foot wide, and 185-foot long giant Godzilla statue being built as part of the the Godzilla Interception Operation attraction at the Nijigen no Mori theme park in Awaji, Japan. When open, there will be a zipline ride that zips you right into

This is the 5-piece hand-knit Yoda costume for infants made by Fenbo and available on Amazon ($23 +$5 shipping). That seems like a good deal for something that was hand-knit, I hope they’re compensating the knitters fairly. Of course this isn’t an officially licensed product, so maybe they’re just passing
