Darth Vader Helmet Blueprints Reveal His Inner Secrets
I think we are all mesmerized by the sheer originality of Darth Vader. Even though we see his evil deeds, we still have compassion for him, at least after we've seen the prequel where Anakin Skywalker become Lord Vader. There are many ways we can stumble onto the wrong path of life, and Anakin is pu ...
Retrofied Super Mario Lego Aquarium Decorations
The ways we continuously try to make our homes reflect our style and become more personal are never ending. It's one of the most creative endeavors we can undertake, and we can either do it in one day or keep doing it over a whole lifetime. I don't think I need to go through the different ways we ca ...
X-Men Characters As Disney Cartoons
Is it just me or is everything seemingly disneyfiable? It sometimes comes as a surprise when we see new and fresh mashups between Disney and lord knows what. The weird thing is that it actually still does surprise us. No matter what it is, we always raise our eyebrows when we see that something has ...
Death Star Grill Turns Your Barbecue Into A Star Wars Adventure
My thoughts are never too far from a good barbecue with friends and family. Sure, it's not the most common of events since work has to come first, but when the summer is looming, I can't wait to relax for a few hours and just enjoy the company. For a dedicated person, it's anything but easy to let g ...
Trippy Full Face Star Wars Hoodies Cover It All
I can honestly say that I currently don't own one single t-shirt, hoodie or any other kind of clothing with something related to Star Wars on it. How frickin sad is that, right? I don't know why really. Either it is because I haven't had the time to find something worthy of wearing, or I am just the ...
Controller Cushions: A Geek’s Choice Of Pillows
No matter how much you may deny it, we all need to rest every once in a while, right? You can be super excited, dedicated or even inspired, but the fuel will run out sooner or later. It's just how it is. Some people sit in front of the TV for a few hours to relax, and others take a couple of hours t ...
Cthulhu Barbie Will Devour Every Single One of Your Toys
There have been some crazy Barbie dolls over the years. From the fishnet stockings-wearing DC Comics Black Canary to the world's first tattooed Barbie to the upcoming Hunger Games Barbie, the blonde bombshell really has done it all. Or so you'd think.
Then along comes Sabrina Zbasnik, the creativ ...

Cyberpunks From The ’90s: An Unusual Kind Of Retro [Chart]
We write about a lot of retro gadgets and art on Bit Rebels. I think the reason why, besides the fact that it's fun to look back in time and remember what it was like, is because technology is advancing so fast that what is here today could easily be considered retro tomorrow.
If you were stuck i ...
Living Cyborgs: Now People Can Live Without A Pulse
I’m a cyborg. I’m rather proud of this fact, even though it is a pain much of the time. You see, one of my body parts doesn’t work, so I rely on a medical device to do the work for me, with a little help from my brain. I have type one diabetes and wear an insulin pump.
Unfortunately, so far being ...
Star Wars Recycling: Ships Made From Floppy Disks
I remember back in the '90s when my friend and I created software on the Amiga. We created everything from demos to some software for educational purposes that we thought was missing out there. It was back when all we used were those plastic 3.5 inch floppy disks to store our data. We had boxes of t ...
Find Out What Your Favorite Video Games Smell Like
As we all sit and wait for the smell-o-vision technology to become a reality, the question still remains, what exactly would our favorite video games smell like? In case you don't know what smell-o-vision is, it's a layer of technology that will supposedly add a new dimension to gaming while assigni ...
Trekkies Rejoice: The Dark Chocolate Star Trek Voyager Cake
For those of you who don't already know, Voyager is one of my favorite Star Trek series. I faithfully watched nearly every episode as it aired. If it wasn't for Battlestar Galactica, it might possibly be my favorite series. In either case it lands squarely in my top three. As a series, it holds the ...
Open Wide… The iPad That Dispenses Beer
We've always heard people say that you can do just about anything with an iPad, but dispense beer? That's one I hadn't thought of before. The best part is, all you have to do to make this work is attach a spigot to the front. I know beer lovers around the world who have seen this video are hoping so ...

Happy 35th Anniversary Star Wars [2 Timeline Infographics]
It's hard to believe that tomorrow, on May 25th, it will be exactly 35 years since Star Wars was first introduced to the world. I wonder if anyone back then had any idea about how that movie and all the ones that followed in the series would affect the world and multiple generations like it did. It' ...
Creative & Colorful Nail Art Inspired By The Avengers
It's definitely a current trend that when a movie does well at the box office, artists create manicures and eye makeup to complement the film. I didn't see that type of art very much before Pinterest launched, so either I learned about it from Pinterest or people just started creating that stuff spe ...
