I consider myself the leading nerd cake expert here on Nerdbastards, with only one previous cake post under my belt, because of my vast knowledge of the c… Who am I kidding? I’m no expert, but luckily it doesn’t take one to bring you fellow nerds a slice of pun.. That didn’t even make sense. But either way, thanks to Goblinqueen, on Deviantart, we are now able to enjoy the “One Tasty Droid” cake. A Star Wars nerd’s fantasy cake outfitted with edible glitter and even a functioning light… Sad to say, I’m quite certain this isn’t the only fantasy a Star Wars nerd has involving edible glitter. But I’m not judging. Goblinqueen was even awesome enough to take it a step further and dye the inside a blue/green color to make is look like motherboards and circuitry. I know, I know. “Where is the Princess Leia boob cake”? I asked myself the exact same thing. That idea gives mays to a multitude of candle placing arrangements, all naughty. I suppose we’ll just have to wait. Or, pester her mercilessly until she concedes after breaking down from emotional stress and the shock of her financial situation after trying to pay for all the legal counseling she needed to try and file for restraining orders for internet nerds. Ahhh, but this is only fantasy, we’ll have to wait. But in the mean time we can most definitely enjoy this R2D2 cake. Although I didn’t find any other cakes in her seemingly endless pages of deviations, I did see some very talented, badass artwork. Be sure to give her a gander and Enjoy!

Well if this isn’t the best way to end a workday, I don’t know what is. Star Wars + Legend of Zelda + accordion – Weird Al hair = win! (more…)

Swordplay is a major part of a lot of movies. Anti climactic, final fights or downright dirty army vs. army brawls. But these men are usually lead or inspired by ONE amazing warrior. Or the ONE  amazing warrior has a reason to keep on fighting..This is a list of the most amazing wielders of the blade in movies.

I can’t put these in Order from 1 to 10. So what I’m gonna have to do is keep it has the The Top 10 BEST. Such as ALL of them are the best. But that won’t satisfy you all, I am required to make an actual countdown. So my hand has been moved not by me but of my pain.

Short films via Lego animation is nothing new. Well, if you have never seen one before then I guess it be new to you. Anyway, what we have here is perhaps the greatest example of what one can do with Legos and stop motion animation. The good and talented folks from Fancy Pants Productions put together an incredible video of a Lego Men lightsabre fight. Based on Star Wars: The Forced Unleased video game this duel is not only superior to anything you’ve seen in the game but it even rivals the duels in the actual movies. For realsies, this is some serious bad-ass shit. The cinematography and choregoraphy as well as tightly-intergrated sound effects make for a smooth, well polished, professional looking video . We remind you this was done entirely with legos. As Darth Vader would say “Most Impressive”.

Once again, someone proves to me that my childhood was incomplete and that LEGO’s is infinity times better than Better Blocks. A person by the name, 2×4, created a full working foosball table made out LEGO’s with Star Wars LEGO characters. The fact that its playable is just awesome, and even if it takes time to build it, it would be awesome to have at a party. Who knows, maybe you impressed that one girl with this… if not, you always got a miniature LEGO Slave Leia to look at. More pics after the break. (more…)

I always liked to draw but the best I could do was make a superhero with a basketball as a head and named him Boom-Shaka-Laka Man, yeah… too much NBA JAM one night. Anyways, Tom Whalen has been making awesome poster art, and like the Star Wars one you see above, he has done a lot others that most of ya’ll will recognize and also appreciate as well.

Check out more poster art after the jump. Did I also mention that Boom-Shaka-Laka Man also had a pet dog that had a basketball as its body… yea, sorry, here are some more poster art (more…)

Ever wonder what it would look like to see some random battle droids just hanging out on the street? Or the Millennium Falcon whizzing by your house? Well recently Cedric Delsaux, a french photographer traveled to Dubai and took pictures for his new concept ” stART Wars”. It shows, what he thinks, Star Wars would look like in real life. He shows some very memorable characters including Vader, C3PO, and of course R2D2. Thank god there was no Luke ( sorry guys and gals he is a bitch) If only things like this could be in the real world. Because be honest with yourselves, if you saw an ewok at starbucks would you not poop in your pants? If only we were so lucky.

At the 2010 New York Toy Fair, Hasbro unveiled their-rumored all new AT-AT vehicle for their 3.75-inch action figure line, available for somewhere in the $100 range on August 1. All I can say is that when the first, original AT-AT came out in the 80’s they must’ve only made 4, because I don’t know anybody who had one as a kid..Hopefully this time around they’ll make enough for all the children of the world!

Judge me all you want, but I can’t help it if I see something so awesome and cute at the same time and over at King Panpan, you will find a bunch more of these as I can’t help myself but love these.
