Little Darth to Have Open-Heart Surgery

In honor of Little Darth, I'm re-posting this video on my blog.  You may remember Little Darth from the Volkswagen commercial during the Superbowl in 2011.  If you've never seen it, you can see it here.  It's a real hoot!

7-year-old Max is having open-heart surgery today to repair a congenital heart defect.  If you haven't read about this, I highly recommend this article.  He is a brave little boy who has been contributing his time raising money for other children with heart defects.  We pray that he pull through his surgery with flying colors!

Things That Make You Go Hmmm... Star Wars vs. Facebook

So this is how they did it...

Things that make you go hmmm...

Star Wars Conceptual Drawings

These are not some random Star Wars pictures, these are the original hand drawn conceptual drawings for the original trilogy.  Credit is due to this guy here, who passed away on Saturday, March 3, 2012.

Vintage Star Wars Characters

I thought these were pretty cool. Unfortunately, I do not know the artist, but if you're a Star Wars fan you'll get a chuckle out of these character portraits.  C-3PO, Boba Fett, Chewbacca and Darth Vader are those pictured.

Darth Vader Montage

Being the iconic character that he is, no wonder so many corporations use him.  But they left out the best commercial of them all.  Last year's Volkswagen Superbowl commercial, featuring little Darth.

In either case, it was pretty cool to see some of the old cheesy ones compared to the newer ones.  Makes one feel older.

Worst Star Wars Costumes Ever!

Is it me, or are these the worst Star Wars Costumes you've ever seen? LMAO. Poor R2D2.  Sad thing is, they'd probably win the costume contest for being original.

Cello Wars: The Phantom Cellist

I'm sure none of you have ever seen something quite like this.  Those who have been in a high school band, college, or elsewhere would probably appreciate this video more.  I actually enjoyed it, it was pretty cool.

The guys behind the video never expected it would take them 70 days to put this together, but it did.  It took more than 7,000 frames, 72 audio tracks, 24 hours of filming through the night in front of a green screen, the most props and costumes they ever used, several broken bows and strings, and over 1,000 hours of editing and rendering -- they felt like they had taken on the entire EMPIRE! 

So without further ado, The Piano Guys and Steven Sharp Nelson present to you...

Cello Wars: The Phantom Cellist

 

Asgard Is Yours!

Remember that hilarious Volkswagen ad which became the most viewed, and most popular commercial during the Superbowl - the Darth Vader one?  

Well Marvel Comics thought it would be a good way to promote it's new movie, "Thor" in much the same way, and it is downright hilarious.  Take a look.

Little Girl Bows in Public

This young Padawan took it upon herself to bow in allegiance to Darth Vader while on vacation with her family; It was cute and hilarious at the same time.

I guess she realized the power of the Dark Side, but Darth wasn't having any of it.  He quickly had her escorted off to train with the Sith.

May The Force Be With Him?

I'm sorry, this video was too cute not to share. Not one word was used in the production of this commercial, but it got the message across... Don't f*ck with The Force. Oh... wait, I guess you don't want to be on the Dark Side.
