Admit It, The Storm Trooper Hoodie is a Little Tempting
6:40AM Mark Wilson | By Mark Ecko, this Storm Trooper hoodie will ensure that, at a moment’s notice, you will be ready for an impromptu Star Wars convention or back alley role playing fest.

And the world would have been a much, much better place. But I digress. The question here is–and I’m asking you–how the heck can you convince your sexual partner to wear these and the rest of the uniform? More »

Samurai Stormtroopers Hunt Down and Exterminate Ninja Jedis
10:30AM Matt Buchanan | If Star Wars took place in Japan and Jedis were ninjas, this is what Stormtroopers would hunt them down in during the Great Jedi Purge. They’re obviously smarter than the average clone, too, since they’re too dumb and clumsy to wield katana. Created by artist Yoshi Isao and on display at Gift Show 2008 in Tokyo, Giz Japan brings us this follow-up to his rendition of Darth Vader as Dark Lord of the Shogun. [Yoshitoku via Giz Japan] More »
