New and Improved! Lightsaber 2.0 (DIY Foam Noodle Lightsabers)
For generations, the lightsaber has been know across the galaxies as the weapon of heroes. Elegant, swift, lightweight and very effective in the right hands. One could assume such a design would never be improved upon. However, with version 2.0 we have added an amazing new feature! Now you do not have to cry if it gets wet from a spilled Banta milk, or wipe off all that Tauntaun spit. It is perfectly safe if you plan on visiting Otoh Gunga. The new and improved Lightsaber 2.0 is waterproof and, it floats!

It’s All in the Ears! (DIY Yoda Hat)
- My #1 modeling my Yoda Hat!
Yoda is just over 2 feet. I am almost 6 feet. He also has some 850+ years on me, so I don’t really look much like the Master. But just like him, I do make a mean rootleaf stew, I have rebellious Padowans that I am trying to guide into responsible Jedis, and I’d like to think that I am wise…ish. So, this Yoda hat has become my favorite. It is warm and cozy for cold Halloween nights; fun, convenient and out-of-the-way while dong M4P prep; and always an ice breaker when the kids have costumed events at school. In geeky good fun, it all is!

Coolest T-shirts Around
People are always wearing cool T-shirts to our M4Ps. But, I have to admit I always enjoy the homemade ones the most. (I also like the DIY costumes the best too. It is just so much fun seeing what people can make with some duct-tape, foam, spray pain, fabric and lots of imagination)
Amy, artist extraordinaire, designed, and made her custom shirts. (She is an illustrator, designers, crafter and just all around amazing artist – you should check her other work out here: amyblandford.com. It will TOTALLY blow you away)
Mace Windu Perler Bead Coaster
I read in an article once that stated that Samuel Jackson might be the only actor considered a genre all by himself. He exudes cool! Him + the name of the movie “Snake on a Plane” made me go see that movie. I have forgotten everything about he plot (I am sure it was pretty bad), but still, it sounds awesome! Unfortunately Mr. Jackson doesn’t get to do ALL that much in the Star Wars prequels, but him just loitering about makes Episode I, II and III better. I heard that he specifically asked for a purple lightsaber because his character was so bad-ass that he was the only Jedi that could harness part of the dark side, and yet stay a Jedi. His lightsaber hilt even had the letters “BMF” on it. (Who isn’t a Pulp Fiction Fan?!)

Dagobah Swamp Jello

Me to Hubby: Honey, can I submerge one of your X-Wings in Jello?
Here is how that question arose… We need a cool new dish this year. What have we made in the past? What do we not have? We don’t have any soups… hm, what is liquid in the movies? Lake Paonga on Naboo? Yoda’s swamp! Swamp! Green soup? X-Wing? X-Wing will melt! Cold soup…Avacado? (Google recipes….) Cucumber? Ugh! X-Wing in something green. Swampy? Slimy? JELLO!!!!
