Calvin & Hobbes Becomes Chewie & Han

In this perfectly produced homage to childhood obsession, designer Chris Walt created the Chewie & Han t-shirt, in honor of both Calvin & Hobbes and Star Wars. Walt is selling the shirt for $22 through redbubble. The shirt is available both with and without text. I can’t say I was a huge fan of Calvin & Hobbes when I was ...

Lando Calrissian Disguise Kit and Other Celebration V Oddities

We’ve covered a few of the awesome and odd Celebration V collectibles in the past few days, but the surplus of eccentricities seems endless. First, George Lucas announced Star Wars on Blu-Ray and unveiled a deleted scene. Then we caught whiff of a Jon Stewart Stormtrooper action figure. But that was just the tip of the asteroid. Included in the ...

R2-D2 iPhone Case

It’s not that I don’t love R2-D2 with all of my heart, it’s just that I don’t think I can condone my iPhone smoking. The R2-D2 iPhone Case wraps your Apple device in a shell inspired by our favorite resilient astromech droid. You can pre-order the exclusive case for $29.95 from the Star Wars Shop. Link [via]

Jon Stewart Stormtrooper Action Figure

Both with and sans goatee. The Jon Stewart Stormtrooper Action Figure was one of the many awesome little gadgets made especially for last weekend’s Star Wars Celebration V convention, honoring the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and the culture of Star Wars collectibles.

Five-Foot Long X-Wing Mailbox

While some postal workers clearly act like they’re from a galaxy far, far away, we’ve had no way to prove this theory correct. Here’s a test. Plant the X-Wing Mailbox in front of your driveway and see how your mailman reacts. If you see a trace of nostalgia briefly cross the usual stony expression of your mailman’s face, it’s clear ...

Boba Bricks: LEGO Slave I Makes Jango Fett a Proud Papa

The Slave I is typically my second favorite ship in all of the Star Wars canon (my favorite being the Millennium Falcon, naturally). Something about it’s souped-up weapon systems and vertical flight position just really caught my imagination. But does its LEGO counterpart have the same effect? You bet your buns. The 1:152 scaled model of the Slave 1, originally ...

Cheshire Cat Stormtrooper Helmet

I’m not quite sure where the merging of Alice in Wonderland and Star Wars became an idea that seemed worth trying, but I’m glad it happened. The Cheshire Cat Stormtrooper Helmet makes your typical imperial trooper seem creepily happy and just a tad too furry. I doubt these helmets would ever pass Darth Vader’s stringent uniform protocol, but a trooper ...

Zombie Stormtrooper Bust Alerts Visitors of Your Geekiness

A few months back we posted about a Star Wars novel like no other. Death Troopers, a tale about zombie Stormtroopers on the hunt for Jedi brains. Apparently the concept of a zombified Star Wars universe was so successful that you can know purchase your very own bust celebrating the novel’s central theme. The Zombie Death Trooper Mini Bust, not ...

Boba Fett Fleece Beanie: Collect Some Heads While Warming Your Own

The Fett-man has become one of the most endearing characters in the Star Wars universe. Second in evil only to Darth Vader (and perhaps Jabba the Hutt, but even that’s debatable. Jabba’s motives were out of pure greed. Boba simply loves to kill). Etsy user daniellemaupin sold her Boba Fett Fleece Beanie for $25, so you might have already missed ...

15 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Steve Jobs

Steve is an enigma. And apparently, an extremely stinky enigma at that. Did you know that while he was working at Atari he was forced to work the night shift because of his terrible personal hygiene? True story. Sounds like someone could have used a few bars of Star Wars Soap. For that and 14 other amazing Steve Jobs facts ...
