We knew the Return of the Merch was going to be overwhelming ahead of the December release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but even we didn’t see this one coming.

A merch storm the likes of which we have never seen started last Friday, when Disney unleashed the irresistible power of Force Friday.

When Sphero, the app-controlled ball, launched in 2012, we thought it was cool, but also just a ball that rolled around on the floor. It was not the most compelling toy, and we promptly forgot about it. Well, serendipity happened, and Sphero’s true potential has finally been unlocked. BB-8 is the droid Sphero was created […]

Well, I was thinking more because snow globes are a winter novelty, but yeah, there’s that Episode VII thing to look forward to, too. I don’t know, maybe you’re just tired of sweating all the time. Whatever your reasons for pining for the cold darkness of the latter months, know that this winter will be […]

In a CES booth, far, far away… a Star Wars Headphone collection was announced, featuring headphones designed around the R2-D2, a Tie Fighter, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca. These are just plain awesome.

Star Wars merchandise is returning with a vengeance now that The Force Awakens is on its way. Today, we have these mini speakers from iHome. The tiny speakers come in R2-D2, C-3PO, and Darth Vader designs. Otherwise, nothing too fancy here—just small, battery-powered speakers with Micro USB and headphone jack ports.

Well, the Chewbacca Star Wars Journal isn’t an Amazon Elements product, so I don’t know anything about the production or the supply chain! I’m pretty sure all the wookiees are OK, though, but I don’t know. Disney is probably more powerful now than the Empire ever was, so all bets are off. The front of […]

Look, I know that underwater things might not go over well with the bulk of the Star Wars fanbase, because the sea is only going to bring images of Jar Jar Binks to mind. But hey, it’s R2-D2 swag, and it’s going to be summer, eventually. I think. Swim trunks will be called for at […]
