George Lucas Reacts to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Final Trailer [Deepfake Video]

“This is great. It’s great because I didn’t make it. Ultimately, I’m not to blame.”

The film completes Lucas’ epic saga without any of his creative input or consultation. Watch as Lucas complains about the latest iteration of Disney’s version of the space battle, starring Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver as pale imitations of George’s beloved creations. The Rise of Skywalker opens nationwide against George Lucas’ wishes on December 20th.

Amazing Infinite Portal Sculptures

A cool series of sculptures by artist Anthony James that use LED light and mirrors to create the illusion of infinite depth.

“Icosahedrons – the geometric globes of twenty identical triangular facets – were a mathematical experiment in unity used by Plato to demonstrate an ideal compositional system of perfect symmetry in three dimensions. In a twenty-first century gallery space, the glass, steel, and LED structures bring a rigid and gleaming tangibility to the abstraction of the numerical calculation of flawless coherence. The objects are compelling approximations, facsimiles of understanding and belief thousands of years old that come down to us on our own terms of modern metals and technological light.”

True Facts: Stinkhorns

Ze Frank’s True Facts series normally focuses on animals, but this time he takes a left turn to a fungus, specifically the stinkhorn mushroom. Why? Because footage of stinkhorns and mushrooms in general give him the opportunity for unlimited double entendres and horrifying grossness at the same time. While this video is technically safe for work, adults will understand his non-stop raunchy allusions.

Man Turns Old Minivan Into Star Trek TNG Shuttlecraft

Cory Mervis-Bocskor wanted to go to Burning Man in style, and he had an old Ford Aerostar minivan laying around, so he decided to turn it into the Goddard shuttlecraft from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
