You get this. Actually, the personal stalker-shadow is the least disturbing of the two unofficial Twilight products to emerge (so to speak) this week, but it is the only one actually appropriate to slapping up on this site at 500 pixels wide. The other one is so not safe for work or direct linking, if you get what I’m saying, and I think you do. (via)
The Muggs are in!

A compendium of Star Wars weirdness
Trendhunter Magazine has compiled a list of what they call 45 Creative Star Wars Innovations but is really just a list of cool random stuff they found on the internet. It’s a mix of official and fan-made things we’ve seen before and some we haven’t. Enjoy! (via)
Eye candy: Yoda and Leia as ‘bots!
Since it’s Monday after a holiday weekend, I figure we might as well just shrug it off with some cute: the Yoda Bot, Princess Leia Bot and Chewbacca from Bolts and Bots. Check their blog, Etsy, or Flickr for more bot creations.
Stitch Wars spotlight: Great Pillow of Carkoon
This cuddly and fearsome Sarlacc is by Becky Gould aka Scrumptious Delight for Bear and Bird’s Stitch Wars show. (Opens in two weeks!)
The inevitable mashup: Hello Wars
This is far from the first Hello Kitty/Star Wars mashup we’ve seen, but it is perhaps the cutest.
Etsy scavenger: Fanmade Star Wars wearables
It’s Etsy time again! Once again, I have overextended myself in the search for handmade Star Wars stuff, and it’ll take several posts to clear it all out. Clearly a sign I should do this more often, no?
Get your hipster/geeky glow on with a metallic sweetheart sweater from cellophaneFlower. [Nerfherder Sweetheart Sweater, $35.50]
This Artoo hat from BabbidgePatch is our token male object, in that it’s the only thing we’re likely to see them wear. We hope. [Hat For the Man in a galaxy far far away, $20]
It’s summer, so you might as well grab a bikini top from morosemelonhead. (It’s on sale!) I’m guessing you probably shouldn’t wear it in the water, though. [Luke and Leia Together Again, $13]
But since a bikini top is probably not your best bet for everyday wear, how about a sweet sundress (or two) from Greatful Thread? [Repurposed Star Wars Dress, $50]
Or if you really want to go off the beaten path, how about the “Jedi inspired” backless hooded tunic from Glaciermilk? [Bang Bang, $123]
Etsy scavenger: Artoo cookies!
Order or just admire these baked-to-order Artoo sugar cookies from Sugar & Flour.
The fandom minute: Ewoks, Webbies, Vader, Death Star BBQ, Wedge (fake,) and lists
For the budding anthropologists in the room… McSweeny’s has Yub Jub Means “Devour the Weak:” An Authoritative Study of the Ewoks From the Field. (Also noteworthy, though not Star Wars: Selections from H.P. Lovecraft’s Brief Tenure as a Whitman’s Sample Copywriter.)
- Awards: Joshua Budich’s Star Wars collection site, which I blogged about way back in 2007, has won a Webby Award and was the People’s Voice pick in the 13th Annual Webby Awards.
- Art? Poke around to find a private moment with Vader among Ian Pool’s ‘Super’ series.
- Fanmade: Ladies and gents, the Death Star grill.
- At random: “Fake Wedge” from A New Hope is IGN’s Obscure Character of the Day. (via)
- Lists: SciFiNow has five storylines for the live-action show and their ten best Star Wars moments, while Topless Robot counts down the nine greatest fan films ever made.
Yes ladies, that is a Darth Vader corset
The “Galactic Lord Corset Costume” from Evening Arwen can be yours for a mere $600. There’s even an option for your loyal henchwomen, the “Galactic Trooper Corset Costume.” (via)
I actually think George would approve. For a second. Before he called his lawyers.
