The Ewoking Dead: Zombie Ewoks from Killer Bootlegs

December 4, 2012 - by specialK
The Ewoks always irritated me... that Ewok celebration in Return of the Jedi produced more eye-rolls than a mall full of teenage girls. It always seemed to me that Lucas couldn't come up with anything fresh so he made the Ewoks look like annoying baby Chewbaccas. The only way to make Ewoks remotely cool is if you make them evil zombies and that is just what Killer Bootlegs has done with their new "Ewoking Dead" figure.

Russian Star Wars Movie Posters

November 26, 2012 - by specialK
These psychedelic Russian Star Wars posters were created in 1977 before the world really knew what Star Wars was all about. As far as Communist Eastern Europe was concerned it was a sci-fi western that took place on space ships. The posters have more of a polished 2001: A Space Odyssey look about them rather then the grittier Star Wars aesthetic. The Cat-Vader with the light saber hair is awesome! In addition to Cat-Vader & the Space Cowboy pictured above, there is a poster of Greedo some of the Cantina characters & a poster of an emotional Jabba!
