The Adventures of Tintin: I Shot First


Ah, why'd they have to go and make Tintin over as Han Solo? I had built up such a nice dislike built up about him. (I Shot First by Dan Hipp, via Super Punch)

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly


"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, Greedo: Those with blasters and those who dig. You dig."

Han Solo as Blondie, Boba Fett as Angel Eyes and Greedo as Tuco - taking the space out of the space western. Cool. (The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly by Michael Rapa; via pacalin)

Star Wars Antiques Roadshow


"I’m so glad your brought this in today, it really is a one-of-a-kind. This smuggler is encased in carbonite, Mr. Fett. Were you aware of that? Can you tell me about how it came into your family?

This carbonite Han Solo, if sold at auction today, in the great condition it is in, would probably fetch anywhere between 25,000 and 35,000 galactic credits."

Boba Fett: "He's worth a lot to me."

I can't be sure where this came from originally, but I found it Shopped Sci Fi.

Well, of course he did. But should you feel the need to emblazon that fact on your chest (or on your bicep), then today's your day — Scott Derby's Han Shot First tee/tattoo is on sale at TeeFury.

Koopa The Hutt


"There will be no bargain. I will not to give up my favorite decoration. I like Luigi where he is."

So Luke Skywalker is Mario and this Super Mario Bros./Star Wars mashup by Glen O'Neill is a fan's dream. (On TeeFury for just a few more hours.)

Wookie The Pooh


While James Hance hasn't returned (yet) to his comic strip of Han Solo and Chewbacca as Calvin and Hobbes he has given us something just as lovely — Wookie the Pooh.



"You'll most likely lose it again, anyway," Han told Eeyore-AT-AT.

Cal Solo and Hobbesbacca

The Kessel Run: Han and Chewie never said *when* they did it. Pop artist James Hance is proposing making this (which is just 'a doodle') a twice-weekly comic.

Please tell him you want to see this - I need it.

Samurai Star Wars

Darth Vader


Han Solo & Chewbacca the Oni

Artist Steve Bialik's shows us what the Star Wars characters would look like as samurais from traditional Japanese art. Weren't samurai one of George Lucas' inspirations for Star Wars? Mmmm, pop-art meta. (STEVEAPALOOZA via BuzzFeed)

Laugh It Up, Fuzzball


Han Solo and Chewbacca are The Odd Couple: Can two smugglers share a spaceship without driving each other crazy?

A mashup of a TV show off the air since 1975 with a film from 1977, made in 2009. A little late, but it works. (Link via Buzzfeed)

My Little Pony Madness

In the 1980s my sister was obsessed with My Little Pony. They were candy-coloured, sparkly and everything a teenage boy wanted nothing to do with. Some people have decided to do something about this. Tiffany, this is for you...

My Little Alien: I knew there was something wrong with My Little Pony, I just didn't know it would come bursting through my chest cavity. This, and several more are from Mari Kasurinen, who has a Flickr page, a Deviant Art site and a website devoted to her custom toy creations.


My Little Edward Scissorhands: A misunderstood My Little Pony with razor-sharp blades for hooves. Marvelous! It even looks like Johnny Depp!


My Little Buckbeak: Nothing really horrifying about this custom My Little Pony, in fact the Buckbeak was a friendly to Harry Potter. I just loved the look.


My Little Han Solo: Had carbonite freezing been available in my teen years, this is how all of my sisters Ponies would have ended up.


My Little Boba Fett: If you have My Little Han Solo, you naturally have to have My Little Boba Fett. Now no more of this before George Lucas gets any ideas.


My Little Borg: If the Borg were to assimilate everything then it follows that they would assimilate My Little Pony as well. But it would be there undoing...


My Little Cthulhu: H.P. Lovecraft's embodiment of extreme horror, terror and evil, Cthulhu is a perfect candidate for a My Little Pony mod.


My Little Worf: Comes with his own bat'leth. I think Klingons would secretly love My Little Pony, just like they love prune juice — because they are both so terrible.


My Little Master Chief: The Chief isn't quite as imposing as a pony, but I'd happily stick a few plasma grenades on him, just to see what happens.


My Little Trojan Horse: Ah, the Classical Studies education pays off once more. How could the Trojan's resist bringing in something so cute? Which makes me wonder about Trojan condoms — oh sure, it's clever, there's something hidden inside! But when it gets out (and it does) it will slaughter you and burn everything you have to the ground. Hmm, guess that's why I'm not in advertising.

And for good measure, Robot Chicken's Apocalypse Ponies: Pestilence Pony, War Pony, Famine Pony, and Death Pony.
