Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The merchandise selection for the show store is out, and there’s plenty of great stuff to chose from. We already knew about the Expanded Universe maquettes, above. (There’s a zombie stormtrooper one as well.) As for the rest, I’m guessing the Jar Jar whoopie cushion and retro-style bag will be big sellers… See them, and a few of my other picks, below.
And yes, there’s a ton more at the link – StarWars.com has a handful of high res pics – and the Han and Leia couple shirts are back as well.
‘It’s A Trap,’ the above design by Brian Kesinger, is the winner of We Love Fine’s first Star Wars tee design contest. I’m glad to see that the franchise is finally harnessing the massive amount of fan talent out there for t-shirts.
I do wish there were less bounty hunter stuff among the top choices, but I didn’t vote.
It’s official! Her Universe and BBC Worldwide have hooked up to create a Doctor Who collection! The first four shirts feature the Tardis (of course) and a tribute to River Song. And the image Ashley revealed yesterday? It’s “a special Doctor Who logo just for female fans which will only appear on merchandise from the Her Universe collection.”
Her Universe is adding 5 new shirts to their SyFy collection on July 11th. Four are based on Battlestar Galactica – Logo racer tank, Tattoo v-neck, Starbuck and a So Say We All burnout – and one for Warehouse 13 – Claudia is awesome.
Coming soon…”The Force Is Strong With This One” @DENISEVASQUEZStay tuned for more info ;o) #MayThe4thBeWithYou twitter.com/HerUniverse/st…

The graphic looks to be the same as / similar to the one on the Dolman top that Ashley blogged about a month ago – and note she also mentioned racer-backs there! This is almost certainly to be one of the new shirts that will be available on May 4.
The ‘queen’ t-shirt and Naboo earrings will go on sale in the Her Universe shop on the 10th – the same day a few other things come out. Handy!
Her Universe gave fans a sneak peek at the upcoming ‘Queen’ shirt on Facebook today. Get ready to look for it “really soon.”
In addition to stocking the existing Her Universe merchandise, Disney will feature two new exclusive shirts. Kid’s sizes of two of HU’s designs will also be available.
Ashley Eckstein will be a guest at Weekends, which run each Friday, Saturday and Sunday May 20 through June 12.
The shirts will be exclusive to Disney only through June.
During a panel at Dragon*Con, Ashley Eckstein said to be on the lookout for a Mara Jade tee next spring or summer. I’m pretty sure that would be a first – at least for a licensee!
Big thanks to Mandy for tweeting the news!
