Star Wars has some of the best merchandise you can get; toys, games, and all sorts of collectibles. But there’s nothing like wearing your favorite movie franchise around town! Here are ten of the coolest Star Wars wearable things I’ve found on the internet over the years.

10. Darth Vader Costume T-Shirt

One of the reasons why this shirt is so cool is because it’s just a t-shirt! You could wear it with jeans, dress pants, a skirt, anything! Nothing is more versatile than a t-shirt. And it’s not your typical Star Wars shirt! Its an all around unique shirt, and even at $28 + shipping, its worth it.

And on the guitar, from the great dunes of Tatooine, the great wamp-rat slayer Luke Skywalker! That’s Leia on the vocals, Chewy on the drums. I’d pay a lot to see them live.

Lately StarWarsShop.com has been coming up with all kinds of crazy merchandise. I like it, but sometimes maybe they overdo it. Like these Star Wars Rocks boxer shorts. Seriously.

Just saw these cool Star Wars Bookends that feature Han Solo and Greedo sitting across from each other.

It costs $124.99 and will be out in November, though you can pre-order now.

If you are in the Dallas area- or could plan to be- next weekend, on the 29th and 30th of April, you have to take yourself to the Dallas Comic Con. Besides Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) and Star Wars comic artist Howard Chaykin, there will be many comic book creators and celebrities, plus a large exhibitor room filled with collectibles and memorabilia. General admission is $10 and kids under 12 are free with paid adults. The event will be held at the Plano Centre and there are many other cool things happening there.

We have joined forces with AllPosters to provide you with a customized Star Wars Poster Shop here at GalaxyFarAway.com. (more…)

Through this story at Slashdot, I found this fantastic winner of a sci-fi PC case-mod competition at ExtremeTech. In his (Dave Barry of NY) own words:

My case mod is a scale model of a Star Wars TIE Fighter, with a computer built right into the cockpit. And, it’s also a desk! The whole case is built from scratch. As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I knew my first mod would have to incorporate something from Star Wars, and I could think of nothing cooler than a TIE Fighter. I got the blueprints online and got to work.

For the romantic book readers out there, here’s one for the record books. I’ll let the book speak for itself. It opens:

In my opinion, there are three truly great philosophers. Aristotle, Confucius, and Yoda. I didn’t know about Aristotle and Confucius until high school, but I grew up steeped in Yoda’s ideology.

So what did you buy today?

I am proud/ashamed to say I spent about $150 offline and another $40 online in toys, books and music. 6 action figures, 4 deluxe action figures, one 12”, one speeder, one novelization and one soundtrack later; am I disappointed?

No; I loved it. I love the lack of hype. I love being able to get my hands on everything I WANT without fighting over it. And I like people underestimating the power of Episode II this time around.

Besides that, I picked up my Star Wars Lucky Charms last week; I passed on the Lays and Ruffles- I just can’t see myself eating the whole pack.

Ok, I’m just rambling- hope you enjoyed your April 23rd. Now looking forward to the Celebration and Spiderman on the 3rd and then the real thing on the 16th.

Does it get any better than this?

I saw them! I saw them!

Actually, just lightsabers.. but I bought myself a Count Dooku curved lightsaber. Red. Cool. Electronic.

Sweet!
