Forget your ride; pimp your Vader helmet.

It's been said that art often follows the iconography of the age, and what's more iconic than Star Wars? 100 artists proved they know their Sith when DKE Toys handed them a 1:1 scale Darth Vader mask to mod. The resulting creations were exhibited internationally as a pop art show, and now you can own them all.

A full color collector's art book that served as the show's catalog can be yours for half-price only from GeekChicDaily. Pictured Vader makeovers vary from the fruit-tastic (Darth Carmen Miranda) to horrifying homages (Darth Fink). Hurry: this deal ends on Monday and Lord Vader does not forgive failure to act. C'mon...it's your chance to own a true objet D'arth!

Like Vader, trolls have had a hard time of it in Hollywood. Mocked in Ernest Scared Stupid and enslaved in Lord of the Rings, they're braying brutes again in Trollhunter. This mock-doc follows a group of film students who tag along with a veteran creature-killer who has a secret. Isn't it awesome when you're on a life-and-death safari and the only guy who can get you out alive isn't telling you everything?

Resembling giant videogame bosses come to life, the dim-yet-deadly destroyers take trolldom back to its threatening heyday...before Don King's hair made them googly-eyed pencil toppers. Trollhunter opens Friday in New York, then stomps its way across the country. We advise no sudden movements as you track it down.
