The Empire Strikes Back Uncut: Illustrating the Empire

Casey Pugh | March 1, 2013

Yoda arms Star Wars Uncut

As scenes for The Empire Strikes Back Uncut continue to fill our inboxes, we see all kinds of awesome live-action remakes. Adolescent Lukes, cat Yodas, and all kinds of cool handmade sets.

Speaking of handmade, some of the fans really thinking outside the box are the ones who have started from a blank page, pen in hand. The sky’s the limit when you’re drawing your own Hoth or Artoo, and these illustrated scenes bring all kinds of imagination to the Star Wars Uncut project.

Check out some of our favorite recent illustrated remakes after the jump and maybe try your own.

Star Wars Celebration II: The Summer’s Biggest Action Hero

Mary Franklin | February 19, 2013

CII_Biker_Scouts

Of the many memories and impressions that are dear to my heart from Star Wars Celebration II, these two come to mind immediately: what Star Wars fans contributed to the show, and Yoda.

First, about Yoda… What we at Lucasfilm knew, and what the audience in the Indiana Convention Center had not seen, was that Yoda would have his first real lightsaber fight in the upcoming Attack of the Clones. We’d not released any clips of the Jedi Master in action before the show, having saved the excitement for those seeing it first on the big screen.

The Empire Strikes Back Uncut : Many Different Dagobahs

Casey Pugh | October 26, 2012

Yoda Dagobah Paper Cut
I grew up on Dagobah. Or, the next best thing: Florida. Our Jedi training was slightly different (we paddled boats instead of lifting X-wings) and we had no Yodas to guide us (manatees aren’t good instructors), but we did have an awesome swamp for a backyard.

Which is why it’s so awesome to see fans remake the classic Dagobah scenes. Users are hard at work on The Empire Strikes Back Uncut right now (psst, there’s still time to sign up and claim a scene).

DIY: Yoda Coffee Cup Cozy

Jennifer Landa | September 19, 2012

Yoda Cozy Main

I’ll admit it…I’m a coffee lover.  Whether it’s a Dark Side Roast or a Coruscant Blend, I always look forward to my cup of caffeinated bliss.  In fact, I quickly turn from Jedi to Sith if I don’t have my usual morning cup o’ Joe.  But sometimes my local coffee shop makes my latte hotter than Mustafar!  So in order to cool my hands and show a little Star Wars flair, I decided to make a reusable coffee cup cozy.  I think this eco-friendly Yoda cozy is a great way to go “green.”  (In more ways than one!)

Project Greenhouse Features Yoda Chairs

StarWars.com Team | August 9, 2007

Project Greenhouse is an environmental initiative in East Hampton where the architecture, design and engineering of a house — and lifestyle enjoyed within — is strictly eco-friendly. Part of the project includes eco-furnishings by Philippines-based designer Kenneth Cobonpue, whose team creates modern hand-made furniture. Among the pieces featured in this piece from the Huffington Post is something called the Yoda Chair. We would have pegged the smaller circular ones to carry Yoda’s name, given his furniture choices seen in the prequels.

If all that gets a little too heavy for your daily read, HuffPo is considerate enough to spice up their article with a YouTube video of Yoda breakdancing.
