Nesting: R2-D2 Popcorn Maker

I love watching my favorite movies or shows and having some popcorn while I watch them. And I've been thinking of getting a new popcorn maker because the one I have is nearing it's end. I found this R2-D2 one and it's so cool. However, the price makes me think that this is not the droid, I mean popcorn maker that I'm looking for. I know, I just had to say it.

This is pretty cool but I'm a geek on a budget, so I'm wondering if this is worth getting? But as as a Star Wars fan I think this is so cool and it's totally caught my interest. I love all the details and it truly looks like R2-D2. I do make a lot of popcorn so my reasoning would be that this will pay for itself in the long run. I'm definitely going to think about it.

Fashion Meets Fandom: Princess Leia Tote Bag

Two things I love: reading and Star Wars. And if an accessory combines both that's a total win in my book. This Princess Leia Organa tote bag is not only cute with 80s graphics but it encourages reading with the slogan "Read, It's Our Only Hope".

I really love the other side of the bag with Leia reading a book while sitting next to R2-D2. I don't know this just seems like a cool bookworm find. And as Princess Leia fan, it's an equally cool Star Wars find.

Storytime: Anthony Daniels reading "Star Wars: Galactic Adventures"

I wanted to end May the 4th with a storytime video of Anthony Daniels. For anyone who doesn't know, he stars as C-3PO in the Star Wars movies and voices the character in animated series and movies. Anthony Daniels also wrote the book, I Am C-3PO - The Inside Story that was released last year.

For this storytime, he's reading a story from Star Wars: Galactic Adventures about about R2-D2 going on a mission to save his friend C-3PO who somehow got captured by the Empire. I would love to know how that happened. I hope you'll enjoy this story for Star Wars Day!

Nesting: Star Wars R2-D2 Tea Set

This is so cool, the set includes two cups, two saucers and a tea pot. I know I'm a total geek and it's little things like finding this R2-D2 tea set that warm my geeky little heart. I may have to get this.

What do you guys think, is it a great find?

Fashion Meets Comics: Two Her Universe Halloween Star Wars T-Shirts

Just in time for Halloween, Her Universe has two new Star Wars T-shirts to celebrate the holiday. I like both of the shirts but my favorite is the one with the skeletal form of C3PO and R2-D2.

And a suggestion for anyone who is not really into wearing costumes why not wear one of these instead. It's a simple no hassle "costume" leaving you worry free for Halloween.

Side Note: I check the sizes before I posted and noticed that the Skeledroids is limit with the only sizes available (at the moment) are: XS, S and L. I did contact Her Universe to see if more will be available.

In Remembrance: Kenny Baker

It's so sad to hear about the death of Kenny Baker, he died at the age of 81. He was best known for his portrayal of R2-D2 in the Star Wars films. In honor of Baker I wanted to post this beautiful artwork below by Jason Juta. Baker has portrayed the little astromech droid since the first Star Wars movie A New Hope, which was released in 1977. According to reports, Baker had been suffering from an illness.

In a statement released by his niece, Abigail Shield, she said: "It was expected, but it's sad nonetheless. He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we'll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world. We're all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime."

Star Wars were not the only movies Baker starred in, he was also in the cult classic The Goonies. I believe that Kenny Baker will be missed by fans all over the world and even perhaps in a galaxy, far, far away. RIP Mr. Baker.

Geek Find: R2-D2 Humidifier and Star Wars Tumbler with Straw

I was at Target earlier today and saw this Star Wars R2-D2 Humidifier sitting on the shelf. This looks very cute but I'm not so sure how cute the $59.99 price tag is.

Below is a picture of the product from the Target website.

I may not have bought that humidifier but I did buy this Star Wars IV: A New Hope Tumbler with Straw. It was only $6.99 which is not a bad price. I'm pretty sure I will be using this a lot especially this summer.

30 Days of Geek Chic, Day 4: R2-D2 Teapot

What can I say besides how cute is this? Can't you just imagine this teapot sitting on your table when you're have tea. It would be quite the conversation piece, that's for sure.

I'm a tea drinker and a Star Wars fan and I would love to add this to my collection.

30 Day Geek Chic Challenge, Day #3: Star Wars Kitchen Accessories

Day #3: Star Wars Kitchen Accessories

I love to cook but I have to admit beside my superhero mugs my kitchen doesn't have a lot of geek charm. My goal is to add more personality to my humdrum kitchen. I've been looking at a few R2-D2 items as well as some superhero stuff.

I'm looking for a few smaller items that will stand out and be a focal point instead of getting one big thing that would overpower the room. However, I don't want to have too many small items then it would look cluttered especially since my place is small.

Since R2-D2 is one of my favorite characters, I decided to post four kitchen accessories that I think are pretty cool.
