Clinton Felker Shows Us What Feudal Japan Would Look Like In A Galaxy Far, Far Away

I have seen many artists try to add the feudal Japan twist to the members of the Star Wars community, but I can't remember ever seeing a complete group that nailed it as well as Clinton Felker's bunch does. He gets the samurai & bushido stylings of the era down pat and completely kills this series of paintings. Not only do you get to peruse these wonderful pictures here on CCD, but if you click here you can even follow the links to purchase  these pieces for your own collection. Just hurry up before Mr. Buzzkill himself George Lucas gets wind of these...

Star Wars: Asian Warrior Edition

Artist Steve Bialik & Spoke Editions present his interpretations of what certain Star Wars characters would look like if  they were born in the era of Samurais and Ninjas... and they are awesome. Not only are they phenomenal, but they are for sael... nice! Just click the link above and you will be brought to Spoke Editions Big Cartel page, which is like a marketplace for artists to sell their work. The prints will run you $15 bucks a pop, or six will cost you $75 bucks... not to bad. They are 11x27 prints and are limited, so act fast. I love the way Bialik chose to use fan favorites such as Boba Fett & Admiral Akbar alongside all the rest of the usuall suspects (Luke, Leia, Jabba, Han, Chewy & the Emperor). Here you go... enjoy! Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

Luke

Admiral Akbar

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The original 'Legend of Zelda' game's Like Likes were my favorite  villains that I loved to hate!

They were these little evil-doers which resembled a delicious
stack of buttery pancakes and whose sole mission were to suck you dry of a hard earned weapon you had just paid mucho rupees for. That is why I've decided to name a new feature article I've been preparing for 'Cultural Compulsive Disorder' after them. Like the fortunate bottom-feeder that I am, I will be scouring the blogosphere for loosely related images, video clips, and articles that I found interesting, exciting, or maddening on other blogsites. Things that someone else has, no doubt, painstakingly worked on for weeks, even months, yet I will show no remorse borrowing from them and regurgitating on C-C-D, for you guys to appreciate as well, with all due credit given to it's origins, of course. Things that they liked...and I like...so I'd like to see if you like. So without further ado, I give you "Like!-Like?"

'Sillof' is a neat little site that showcases custom figures that you could swear were made by the best toy company around. They reimagine Superheroes and Star Wars characters as if they were circa 1942

Speaking of Star Wars, 'STAR WARS Uncut'' is a brilliant piece of film
featuring 15 second spurts of footage done by various film makers and
spliced together to form one full length rendition of STAR WARS.
Here's a portion of it.
