Star Wars As '80s Teens of the Day

Star Wars has seen millions of redesigns, from steampunk to medieval, Anime to velvet painting. But few are as exciting as DeviantArt user Denis Medri's vision of the classic characters as teenagers from the '80s.

Make sure you see the whole set, including Yoda as a Mr. Miyagi archetype, and the Imperials as a hoodlum biker gang.

First there was Artoo, now it's our favorite smuggler -- encased in ROCK!

Here in his carbonite, he feels safest of all.

Obligatory Mashup of the Day

If you were worried that nobody was going to mash up the "Harrison Ford plays ..." meme and the recently-released footage of Han Solo embarrassing himself in a Kinect Star Wars Galactic Dance-Off, you can breathe easy now.

The Internet always delivers.

New Low of the Day

New footage from Kinect Star Wars's much-mocked Galactic Dance-Off mode shows that even Han Solo isn't immune to the childhood-destroying combination of Star Wars and Dance Central.

Han gets down to a remixed version of Jason Derulo's "Ridin' Solo" -- "I'm Han Solo," natch -- in a dance-off against Lando Calrissian. No matter who wins, we all lose.

Kinect Star Wars is out tomorrow, so you still have one more night to think about how much you really want that R2-D2 Xbox.

Pop-culture painter James Hance returns with another Star Wars mashup featuring Han and Leia. This time, he's portrayed the galactic power couple in the sentimental style of Norman Rockwell, copying the poses from Rockwell's iconic "Boy and Girl Gazing at the Moon."

Hance has replaced Rockwell's bright-orange harvest moon with the twin suns of Tatooine, and swapped out the family dog for his adorable Chewbacca teddy-wookiee, "Wookiee the Chew."

"Little Rebels" prints are available at Hance's site.

Etsy seller extramoneyformommy has created a Jabba-the-Hutt-approved set of crayons in the shape of a miniature Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

They come in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown and black, but strangely not in carbonite grey. Still, they'd probably make a great gift for kids who want to be bounty hunters or wax museum proprietors when they grow up.

If you're hoping to actually draw with your Star Wars crayons, though, the R2-D2 model might be a better choice.
