Delightful photo series shows what a Stormtrooper's life on Earth looks like

How does Eric the Stormtrooper spend his time? He feeds sandwiches to the dinosaurs, dresses up as Batman, travels to beautiful places and plays the ukulele, according to these photos by Darryll Jones. The South African photographer is shooting images of his beloved action figure posed in various scenarios, either performing mundane tasks, doing awesome stuff, or just chilling around, for a project called Have You Seen Eric.

Darryll's delightful photo series began after he moved to the UK from South Africa six years ago. He didn't realize how dark and cold the winter days could be and he found himself confined to the indoors, with only a few LEGO Stormtroopers as companions.

"I took a little LEGO Stormtrooper down, and I used my 105mm Macro Sigma lens, and started taking a few shots of him, Darryll told the Daily Dot. "I started making little movie posters and intricate setups that won a few daily deviation awards on deviantART, and from there it just took off really."

Below are some of the hilarious pictures from the series, with more of them available here.

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...

These ladies brought the chill.

The Philippines just bagged the gold medal at the recent International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women's Asia Cup in UAE. Yes, you read that right. Ice hockey. Champions. But let me tell you, what we lacked in natural frozen water, we more than made up for in heart, hustle, and teamwork. The ladies had a perfect tournament in Al Ain with victories against Kyrgyzstan (15-0), UAE (6-1), Malaysia (8-1) and India (4-1) before beating Iran (4-2) for the gold. They proved that you don't need snow to conquer the ice. You just need talent, determination, and maybe a little bit of that Pinoy magic that allows us to thrive in the most unexpected situations. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find the nearest halo-halo vendor to celebrate.
