Star Wars Uncut is a crowd-sourced project which divided Episode IV into fifteen second segments and then invited people to recreate and film them. All segments have been completed and compiled, and developer Casey Pugh is working on the legal issues that are delaying its release. Anyway, many clips are available at the link, which is the project page.

One of the highlights of Star Wars Celebration V was that R2D2 tied the knot. You can watch the video of the grand spectacle here (warning: self-starting). He married Bonnie Burton, the editor of StarWars.com.

Really, she's deluding herself if she thinks that he's going to be faithful.

Google Translate isn't being terribly helpful, but I gather that this is a custom bike design (not a finished product) modeled after the transformable armor from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. This series was integrated into the American Robotech universe by the late Carl Macek.

Meredith Woerner of io9 compiled a gallery of sixteen geeky wedding invitations, including professionally-made comic books and Star Trek and Star Wars-themed invitations.

Ashtar Command is either a band or a New Age religious group, or both. At any rate, here is a performance of a band by that name of "Deadman's Gun", a song from the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack. Guitars, a string set, and an accordion -- great choices for a fine song.

Zork was a text-based computer game from the late 1970s loosely based on Dungeons & Dragons. Brian Gaines, the artist responsible, wrote:

I loved Zork so much that a high school buddy and I made ourselves stained glass windows of the logo in 1983. To the best of my knowledge, they are the only such windows in existence (but I could certainly be wrong)

LA-based artist Misha does a lot of pop culture work, including paintings featuring Super Mario Bros., Star Wars, The Big Lebowski, and Donkey Kong. The above work is modeled after Michelangelo's Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Stan Lee, of course, is God.

It's been done before, but not this well. This one is finely executed, down to the warped film and John Williams theme played on a piano. It was made by a French team in 2007 and modified this past June.

In a brief 2009 interview, Mark Hamil denied ever shooting the long-lost lightsaber scene from Return of the Jedi.

It's a conspiracy!

In the comments, propose elements of and motivations for this plot.

What is the meaning of a double rainbow, asked Yosemitebear. The greatest minds are still pondering this mystical conundrum. In the meantime, YouTube user Disasteradio remixed the double rainbow video with scenes from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in which Bowman approaches the monolith.
