Not you standard piece of Star Wars memorabilia, this “exclusive new tee features Vader’s TIE and the Death Star trench configured into a cheeky” tuxedo shirt. Available now, priced at $21.99. More information. Continue reading for a close-up.
Not only can you embarrass your family and/or significant others at a formal black-tie event by only wearing jeans and a tee, instead of a shirt and tails, but you can also proclaim your unabashed love for Star Wars at the same time.
The Walt Disney Company has announced that it will be closing both the Disneyland (July 27th, 2010) and Walt Disney World (September 8th, 2010) versions of Star Tours, in preparation for a new pod racer attraction that will hit both parks in 2012. Continue reading to watch the original Star Tours ride in its entirety.
Still, even though Star Tours was pretty dated, it will be sad to see the original go. Glad I got to experience it once a few years ago before it’s gone for good.

The C-3PO Bespin Backpack from ThinkGeek is not only a must-have for all Star Wars fans, but it’s the perfect iPad carrying case. It’s “based on the famous scene from ‘Empire Strikes Back’ where C-3PO is almost destroyed and has to be cobbled back together by Chewbacca.” Continue reading for one more picture.
You can almost imagine C-3PO yammering away while Han Solo is frozen in carbonite… plus if you have an R2 unit and a Wookie handy you can even reassemble his parts into a complete robot.

Gizmodo reader Jonathon decided to built a Star Wars bed that trumped all others, in terms of awesomeness. So, he built a 3-level Imperial Walker bed, complete with a “Hoth lego display case on the second level as well as additional areas for the kids to play and climb.” Click here for first picture in gallery.
I worked on the project two days a week from the end of September 2009 until its completion in February 2010. I would guess I had somewhere between 300-400 hours by the time the sanding and painting was complete.

This two-minute recap, made entirely from LEGOs and beefed up with some impressive special effects, should do the trick nicely.

Now that you know that it’s Star Wars Day, here’s a sneak peak at “Lord Vader during the recording of his GPS voice for TomTom; many buttons died to bring us this information.” Continue reading for the video.
The annoying C-3PO will be released in June. Yoda will give you directions backwards in July. And if you want to be told your driving is too cocky, Han Solo will tell you so in August.

You’ve seen the Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite USB drive, Star Wars computers, and even the Han Solo desk, now check out the soap. At 4.2-inches x 2.25-inches, this bar is fragrance free and supposedly, “ultra gentle” on your skin. Continue reading for one more picture.
There’s actually a 4 week waiting list if you expect to get your hands on your very own Han. At $6.50 a pop I’d say this is a pretty steep bar of soap, but the masses have spoken and I will not deny them.
