Mark Hamill Gets Reunited with His Original Lightsaber

In a recent interview, the legendary Mark Hamill was surprised with his original lightsaber from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Initially, Hamill assumed it was just a replica, but the host clarified that it was indeed the authentic prop. He also revealed that Alec Guinness wielded the lightsaber in episode IV.

It’s not a replica, this is the actual prop. This is yours from the third film……it was actually the same prop was used by Alec Guinness in the first movie as his special effects lightsaber. So you see how the the emitter actually spins and there was a motor in the handle here and as I understand it the blades were coated with a reflective material.

India’s Chandrayaan-3 Achieves Historic Moon Landing. Now What’s Next?

In a landmark for space exploration, India’s Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon yesterday, joining the elite group of lunar explorers.

This mission will focus on the Moon’s south pole, known for potential water reserves. Beyond the success of the landing, Chandrayaan-3’s findings could reshape lunar understanding and resource utilization. Watch this episode of Interesting Engineering

Unleash the Force of Cuteness With this Gorgeous Loth-Cat Plush from a Galaxy Far, Far Away!

Artist @doodlebethel has created what has the be the cutest Loth-Cat plush I have ever seen! After seeing the live action version of Sabine Wren’s feline in Ahsoka, I just had to search the net to see if one was available for sale. There is an official version available, but it’s nothing as cute or awesome as @doodlebethel’s creation, which unfortunately is not for sale.

This thing is massive (3 ft long)! But really light. The head has a styrofoam ball base, and the feet are made of foam clay. Most of it just faux fur and fluff. It’s floppy but has a jointed armature spine for easier posing.

I hand sewed the stripes so it took a lot of time. So I won’t be making one with sewn in patterns anytime soon. But I might try making another kitten sized one using foam clay for the feet.

And this Loth-Cat is a mom:

Gorgeous, isn’t she?
