Like all of my desktop wallpaper, I don’t know exactly where I picked this up but this sweet Pink Floyd/Star Wars mashup was created by James Lillis. You can see some cool t-shirts created by James by following this link.

Though I’m a bit more of an Indiana Jones geek (despite the Crystal Skull abomination), I’ve got to give it up for the ‘wars. For some great Star Wars-themed geekiness, check out Distracted By Star Wars, which is where I found this image.
When you decide that you’re going to build something as ambitious and ubergeeky as a fully articulated and mobile costume of Luke Skywalker riding a tauntaun (like in Empire), it’s important to remember to build it out of 100% pure win. You’re not going to want to cut corners in this regard, because a lot of places out there will try to sell you Fail at such a great discount that you’re going to be tempted. Bite the bullet and spend the few extra bucks for top quality Win, and get the imported stuff when available.
I’m happy to report that this is exactly what Scott Holden did when building the incredible costume featured in the video below. He must have worked long and hard on it, which is especially admirable considering that the tauntaun will undoubtedly freeze before it reaches the first marker.
Check out the design/build photos over here.
