Ever since Disney force choked LucasArts out of existence and chucked the unfinished remnants of Star Wars 1313 into a sarlacc, we’ve been hard up for good news on the Boba Fett front. Well, you might not be able to play as him, but you can at least wear his jacket, thanks to UD Replicas.
Spring has officially kicked off, and for at least some of you, that means beach season is getting close. This year, you can make the beach feel a little more like your own personal Tatooine. It’s like bringing the great indoors of your Star Wars fandom out into the sunlight with you.

Attention: this is your weekly Star Wars merchandise update. R2-D2’s dome on a watch face. That’s pretty much the extent of it. You’ve got a couple of watch hands with tips that look like R2-D2’s blinking lights. It’s a collector’s edition, too. I have no idea what makes it a collectible. I’m guessing it’s because […]

Apparently, someone didn’t let the Wookiee win this time.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Star Wars: A New Hope debuted on May 25th, 1977. Would you believe that Star Wars: A New Hope is 35 years old?! So what a prefect way to commemorate the 35 year old movie, than with an awesome watch. This super geeky import from […]

In tandem with the release of Kinect Star Wars this week, special one-liter bottles of Brisk Iced Tea will be available in 7-Elevens bearing Microsoft tags.

Instead, it was just a sort of odd choice for an April Fool’s Day joke from the Star Wars online shop. Seemed believable enough, though I guess the chances of this thing escaping the tractor beam of the rejected Star Wars merchandise heap would have been unlikely, anyway.

With a name like Luke Skywalker, it’s a wonder we didn’t see a basketball-Star Wars crossover before. Well, actually, we could have, but the plans for the Death Star Basketball ended up in a trash compactor somewhere.
Geek,
With as much merchandise that exists for Star Wars, it might come as a surprise that anything got rejected along the way. Just recently an article ran about the best of the worst, which, among other things, reveals the prevailing opinion that Star Wars merchandise related to soda bottle caps simply wasn’t going to work […]

With apologies to Ralphie’s Old Man, the leg lamp just isn’t going to cut it this year. Not when you can light the place up with Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber – available in both and pre- and post-fiery disfiguration editions.
Looks like the Empire is recruiting. With any luck, this means Harley Davidson speeder bikes are just around the corner.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, people used clunky, rectangular pieces of plastic to watch movies by putting them into a equally clunky whirring metal machines. Oh wait, that was this galaxy. And it wasn’t that long ago, though it does seem like it was, doesn’t it? There’s no denying that […]
