Our newest design, the These Aren’t the Breasts You’re Looking for t-shirts, harken back to the scene in Star Wars (Episode IV) when we see Obi-Wan Kenobi use the Jedi Mind Trick for the first time. (truly, it was the first indication of the force)How suave was old Ben Kenobi with his British accent, powerful eyes, and a little hand wave? Who didn’t want to be him?
…
STAR WARS FANBOYS! Don’t let nature stop you from having a good laugh. Think about how much funnier this shirt is on you, with your man-breasts or your total lack of boobage. You too can use the force (who knows…these t-shirts might even help you take home a Star Wars Fan Girl to meet your mom…JK!)
Brilliant shirt. As a matter of fact, I can think of one friend right away who’d love to wear one when she goes out, although, she’d never get that it was a Star Wars line.
Dan at SouthSEO (which may be under construction at the moment) sent me a link to hilarious fan film, featuring Darth Vader as supermarket manager (tip to The Age).
On that note, don’t forget to check out the Vader Sessions — link courtesy of another The Age reader. Someone did a great job re-dubbing the original Star Wars with audio from other James Earl Jones movies.
The best bit comes in when Vader goes to get the TIE Fighter pilots to help him take out the Rebel fighters in the trench: “I’d like to maintain the current level of Black representation on the committee… so let’s go for a stroll.”
Though fully functional like a real PNW backpack, with room for books and adjustable straps, take a tip from the ladies and stay away or at least hide it for only your most geeky guy moments. Unless of course you find that very special girl whose definition of ‘hunky’ includes soda gut and the ability to recite verbatim the Jedi Code.
Well, they are out there, in the wild. And unlike most of the guys with such a fixation, some of them are attractive, don’t live with their parents, have jobs and enjoy conversations outside of Star Wars, Star Trek and Science Fiction in general.
A couple of weeks ago, I met just such a girl, in Knoxville, who had an absolute shrine of Star Wars paraphernalia the like of which I haven’t seen in twenty years. She told me to let everyone know, she’s a “hot single chic looking for her geeky man.” 😉
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m a bit of a Star Wars dork. I have boxes upon boxes filled with Star Wars memorabilia, from Magazines and Newsletters to Toys to Zippo Lighters. Now, my Star Wars collection dates back to 1976 (teaser posters and promotional items) and for the most part, ends abruptly in the early 1980’s. She’s got a mixture like you wouldn’t believe…
Most of my friends know that I’m a Star Wars dork. Collected since the 70’s, comic books, bubble gum cards and toys in boxes have come in handy for making quick cash on more than one occasion. I even have a small collection of Star Wars domain names.
Needless to say, I don’t take it as seriously as some people. For me, it’s something fun, and a good diversion. And I get to make a little cash.
But, as with many things Science Fiction, Role Playing or otherwise, there are people who go to extremes. Swanky posted a photo a few days ago and sent me a link.
I couldn’t help but think, “Ahh, man, they might be doing that for the rest of their lives.”
It’s not mine, but … Check out Dooku.net, and be sure to hit the white block under the movie for a little dorky humour.
