A Steampunk Star Wars Film? MAKE IT SO.

My friend John Strangeway, aka Steampunk Boba Fett, stars in this epic short film, "Trial of the Mask." The visuals are just stunning - lots of great beauty shots - and I really love the storyline. No spoilers, just watch:


That's all fan-made, you guys! Sweet Staypuft, I LOVE MY FELLOW GEEKS.

(Btw, someday I want to get a picture in my Vadore costume with David Lee, the steampunk Vader in the film. Then I'll make a little steampunk Vader cat to hold, and turn the photo of the three of us into Christmas cards. It's brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT.)

(Ahem.)

(Hi, David! I know we've never met, but I promise I'm mostly harmless.)


Oh, and rest assured I've already reamed Strangeway out for that ending.



And to end on a laugh, you MUST WATCH this perfect snowflake of a find from my friend Chris:



I haven't laughed this hard in AGES. Oh. Migosh. Seriously. I foresee myself playing this at least three more times today. ("SHUT UP, WESLEY.")

  1. My sister shared the Picard "Let it Snow" with me yesterday, and I thought I was going to pass out from laughing so hard! Pure genius!

  5. I have now used Let it snow as my only concession to the festive holiday on the social networking site because everyone decided to call me Grinch and I may even play it on Christmas Day as well....it made my day :)

  7. Hehe, I've been seeing the "Make It So" video quite a bit on my Facebook feed for the last week or so, and I never got around to watching it until now. It's been ages since I watched ST:TNG but it still cracked me up hugely. :D

  8. Make it So is the best thing ever. "...tea, Earl Grey, hot...", "Shut up, Wesley!" Hahahahaha!

    James Covenant's BlackWhite game looks really cool, too.

    I liked the ending of the Boba Fett short!

  9. Ahh, Picard and snow-- my favorite geeky combo this time of year. Haha
    The Steampunk Boba Fett short totally works in the Star Wars universe, story-wise, am I right? Very fun. Thanks for sharing!

  11. What fun! I'll show my husband tonight, and he'll probably play it three or four times back-to-back. Love it!

  12. Love the "Make it so" video! I noticed that each make it so was from a different clip - clearly, he said that a lot!

  13. I met John at Gencon, while he was in a different cosplay, and we struck up a conversation after I admired it. He's such a nice guy, and someday I hope to see his Steampunk Boba Fett in person! I was working, and didn't get a chance to hunt him down after he changed.
