Teh Internet is Full of Cool Things, Part 19,354: NFL Helmets Redone in Star Wars Universe

So this has been around at least since 2013, but what can I tell you? Ferglutz you, bub, my hyperspatial ramblings ain't what they used to be.

Here are John Raya's reworking of NFL franchises as if they existed in the Star Wars universe. Bonus points on the Greedos' helmet, for the non-infinite regress on the helmet worn by the figure pictured on the helmet (my head hurts), a defining attribute of the old Dolphins helmet (in which the Dolphin wore a helmet whose logo was a giant M). 

Go here for the AFC and here for the NFC. And yes, there's a team that involves Jar Jar Binks' grim visage.

For more work by Raya, go here.

Tip via Tony Pierce's great Twitter feed.

We've become jaded to the immense offerings on the Internet. I think it's a worthwhile pursuit to pause a second and point out whenever we find cool, weird, useless, and fun stuff online. Reason has been beating the drum about "cultural proliferation" for years now, and for good reason: We live in an age in which it's easier than ever for people to make and consume whatever they want in ever-more-varied circumstances. That's a real flowering of self-expression and freedom.

    The Modells being the Siths is a nice touch.

  2. Pro Libertate   11 years ago

    I've been getting tired of these NFL helmet mashups, but this one isn't bad. I liked the one for the Bucs, too, and will now lobby to have the change made officially. Disney will get a licensing fee and should allow. Raymond James will be renamed the Jutland Wastes. Excellent.

    1. Warty   11 years ago

      Wait, Star Wars took place in Denmark?

      1. Pro Libertate   11 years ago

        Yes, that I had that reaction when I heard that term, too. Probably not the first time, but somewhere in my teens. Lucas had some odd influences, I guess.

      2. waffles   11 years ago

        The last time I watched Empire it was a pirated copy dubbed in Dutch with english subtitles. You may not believe it, but I think it was even better.

  3. Brett L   11 years ago

    OT: Texas CPS has neglect finding against it supported by judge. First of all, it is awesome that this parent will get a chance to save her kid from the CPS. Perhaps more importantly:

    That is because if you apply CPS's own rules when it comes to child placement, CPS may now have a problem.

    "If there is a finding of child abuse or neglect or family violence, then you no longer qualify to have a child placed," said Ketterman.

    Now it is the agency itself that now has this finding of abuse. A hearing in Brazoria County could make the order against CPS permanent for two years. We contacted CPS and the agency told us simply that they would be answering the allegations in court.

    I assume that CPS won't be bound by their own rules, even locally. But still, its a nice victory against some of the more thuggish agents of the state.

    1. Apatheist ?_??   11 years ago

      Brazoria County, obviously this is Ron Paul's fault. Somebody should ask Rand Paul why he abuses children.

  4. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    Not enough lens flares.

    1. Pro Libertate   11 years ago

      You're thinking of Star Trek Wars VII: The Wrath of Khan, Dark Lord of the Sith.

      1. dinkster   11 years ago

        Needs more back to the future.

    2. Tim   11 years ago

      In the new version, Luke cuts off Vader's hand...

  5. William of Purple   11 years ago

    This has little to do with PSH or Lou Reed!
    I'm disappointed.

    1. Pelosi's Rabbit   11 years ago

      I feel like I've been let down by the Jawas.

    2. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

      Not a fan of Czech rap? Well, can't say I blame you.

  6. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

    So concussive brain damage is the explanation for those awful prequels?

  7. Corning   11 years ago

    Speaking of teh Internet drudge is reporting that Clinton had sex with a woman who is actually attractive.

    I don't believe it.

    1. Pro Libertate   11 years ago

      There have been a few. Gennifer Flowers was probably okay at the age she was involved with him, and Elizabeth Gracen Ward is certainly attractive. His problem is that he's random, like any hillybilly with money.

    2. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

      Huma Abedin is a bit too horsey-faced for my tastes but to each his or her own.

      1. Timon 19   11 years ago

        Butbutbut!!!! Elegance!!

        /progtard

    3. NoVAHockey   11 years ago

      lord, i thought it was talking about Hillary.

      1. NoVAHockey   11 years ago

        meaning Bill wasn't involved.

        1. dinkster   11 years ago

          Hillary gets Bill's sloppy seconds.

    4. Pelosi's Rabbit   11 years ago

      The best part of this story is picturing Bill Clinton saying to Tom Sizemore, "Give it to me. You dumb motherfucker, I'm the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America. The buck stops here. Give me the damn number."

    5. Rasilio   11 years ago

      Clearly he would have better ways of getting her number than asking her ex boyfriend for it.

      Reasonably certain that even back then he could have simply asked the NSA for it

  8. Spoonman.   11 years ago

    This makes me miss Regretsy.

  9. Loki   11 years ago

    These are kind of cool. I especially like the attention to detail like the Star Wars style alien writing on the chinstraps. Little things like that are what makes this kind of stuff awesome..

  10. Auric Demonocles   11 years ago

    My favorite cool thing on the internet is alt-text.
