Princess Leia: “You’re not actually going into an asteroid field?”
Han Solo: “They’d be crazy to follow us, wouldn’t they?”
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
Since I haven’t had a “Star Wars stuff” post lately, I thought I’d pass on a couple of crazy pieces of Star Wars-related memorabilia that I found on Amazon today while cruising around. Each one made me think, “What the…?” OK, the infant/toddler costumes are pretty cute.
If you really loved someone, you’d be willing to shuck out the $150 it costs for some smacking awesome Yoda Stamp Cuff-links
Now I happen to know, for a fact, that you have been saying to yourself, “If only I could combine time with… small pieces that I will step on most painfully when I least expect it and… Star Wars.” Well, search no more! For the Lego Obi-Wan Kenobi Watch
You’ve put the finishing touches on the deck, or maybe you’ve gotten the gazebo just the way you like it, but there’s still something missing. Some… final detail to make everything just right. This 10 R2-D2s Plastic Light Set
Have you ever found yourself at a loss as to which flash drive was yours? They all look the same after a while. Not these puppies! For a mere $260, you can get a 7 character Star Wars USB Flash Drive Set
Future fanboys and fangirls unite! Halloween is just a few months away, so garb your little one as Princess Leia
Because if you’re not careful, they just might turn out to be…
Trekkies (!) instead.*
*Disclaimer: Obi-Mom Kenobi knows that Trekkies are decent and worth-while people and does not wish to incite a Star Wars vs. Star Trek flame war. The above – admittedly derogatory – statement was for humorous intent only. That said, “No one calls Han Solo a bitch.” (Fanboys)
I can’t imagine WHY no one called him a bitch, though. I mean really.
If I had a small one, I’d definitely try to duplicate the costume.
Matt went as Darth Vader once.
I LOVE the concept of your blog! Although methinks you are just as enamored with the Star Wars culture as Padawan Learner is! I’m definitely adding this to my reader list. Alpha is a bit of a trekkie, but I’m hoping you won’t hold that against us!
We are Neutral in my family in terms of Star Wars vs. Star Trek. We are equal-opportunity watchers of both worlds. And I have made costumes from both worlds! *maniacal laughter* emanating as I wrestle with the last few steps of the Eowyn dress….
Beta: You could be right…
Fear not, all Trekkies (and those who love them) are welcome here.
jkubenka: We’re emotionally neutral, but Star Wars definitely gets a bit of a nod here stuff-wise because it was PL’s first obsession. Although if there is a run of Star Trek movies that equaled this summer’s release, that just might change! When do you think the dress will be done? I’m looking forward to the pictures.
We are MAJOR Trekkies here. We even had a “Borg” helmet at one time…you’d push the button and it said, “Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.” It was hilarious. I bought it at a yard sale for a buck, I think.
Your blog is so delightful!
Theresa: You crack me up. PL has a coin bank with an animatronic Darth Vader sitting on it that says, “Impressive. Most impressive, but you are not a Jedi yet,” every time you put a coin inside or touch it. It freaks the crap out of me when I touch it unexpectedly.
Ha! Now my daughter’s asking why am I laughing again….That would freak the crap out of me too…
The baby in the Princess Leia costume is SO cute!
Love the R2-D2 light set! They would go well with my outer space Christmas tree. What, doesn’t everyone have a space themed Christmas tree?
Musingwoman: Aren’t the little hair buns just the BEST?
DJ: An outer space Christmas tree, you say. This requires a picture come the holiday season, you must realize that.
I *must have* that watch! It’ll go great with my stormtrooper key chain
My son has that same Darth Vadar bank. He also has the Obi-Wan, Darth Maul, and Qui-Gon Jin banks that hook together and battle with their lightsabers.
Hah! I got all you beat. I have a Borg piggy bank. You set your coin on the saucer section of thee Enterprise-D and touch a button on top of the cube (which by the way has the Enterprise tractored).
And is says as the coin floats into the bank. “Resistance is futile.”
*jumps up and down with glee* I win I win.
Yes, Red, you’ve out geeked us all. Congratulations!
