In an interesting move Comme des Garcons SHIRT has teamed up with George Lucas and his Star Wars franchise for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012/13 Collection. Known for its patchwork dress shirts, the sub-line by Comme des Garcons added Yoda and Darth Vader characters to the new collection, as well as script based designs hinting at the collaboration. We have seen Star Wars collaborations with everybody, ranging from Moleskine, Burton to A Bathing Ape, therefore we are not exactly sure how this fits in and if it was necessary or even a good idea.

Take a look at what product will come from this collaboration after the jump.

In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted and within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. Now they’ve released a full feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection. What a production!

Papercraft can be one of the most amazing things. What we always find most impressive is the amount of detail and patience needed in the craft, in order to achieve the very best. Today we take a look at Spanish illustrator Lobulo Design producing a papercraft illustration of the central character from Star Wars – Darth Vader.

Not only can we show you the final work, but also the process of making it, in the video here below.

Today we come across the photo series ‘Dark Lens’ by photographer Cédric Delsaux. The artist recreates hyper real cityscapes and includes Star Wars vehicles and characters into his photos. The Millenium Falcon sits in between construction in Dubai and Jabba The Hutt is found in a ruin in Paris. While the photographer first ventured out to capture modern landscapes, the idea of adding sci-fi characters only came after and he ended up getting a photography prize for the series.

The book “Cédric Delsaux: Dark Lens” has just been published by Éditions Xavier Barral of Paris and is being distributed in the United States by D.A.P.

Take a further look at the series after the jump.

From Lilsnob – “For Halloween, Laika House artist Katie Mello has created the ultimate costume for her dog Bones; a Starwars inspired AT-AT suit.

To create the costume, Katie first had to make a foam replica of Bones as to minimize the fitting on the actual dog. She than created a special hand made “speed suite” patterned after a pair of pajamas the dog wore at night. The suit was than painted to resemble the All Terrain Armored Transport.

The body is made from foam sheets that hardly weigh anything. Once painted, Katie hand sewed a lining into the body to pad and secure it to the dog. Finally, she made little feet covers out of yogurt cups, and voila! He looks straight out of Star Wars.”

We have seen so many collaborate with Star Wars and sometimes it certainly feels like an overload. After adidas, Bape, Moleskine, Medicom and many others, Burton is now also joining the party. One thing is for sure, we feel more comfortable having a Stormtrooper plastered all over our snowboard, than a t-shirt or a sneaker.

They present their Chopper snowboard in a series of iconic Star Wars designs. The board comes in all sizes, and there are overall 8 Star Wars artworks to choose from, featuring the most iconic characters of the movie series. A release date has not been announced yet, but we will keep you posted.

Check out the entire Burton x Star Wars Chopper Snowboard Collection after the jump.

We take a closer look at the adidas Originals x Star Wars Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. After having presented the lookbook already earlier this season, we now take a closer look at the individual sneakers from the collection.

We find these type of collaborations quite difficult, because most of the time graphics on sneakers do not work very well. The shoe seems overloaded and as a result turn out to look cheap. In the case of adidas and Star Wars the results are mixed, which is already not too bad. In this season’s release you will find sneakers dedicated to a series of characters and other iconic places of the films. The Forum, Stan Smith and other iconic silhouettes from adidas get the Star Wars remix.

Check them all out in detail after the jump.
