Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
These aren’t authorized (well, maybe the ThinkGeek one) or otherwise legally kosher, but that’s the risk you take, isn’t it? Enjoy!
A riff on the much-imitated Beatles shirt, this Star Wars version probably won’t get anyone sued. Win!
There’s a new Star Wars tee concept up for vote at Threadless. It’d make a cute Livejournal icon, but as a t-shirt, particularly a Threadless one, I’m left a little cold. And the font is wrong. (via)
The cream of the crop for this go-round are these two uber-impressive Obi-Wan sock monkeys – your choice of Padawan or mentor Ben – by Siansburys. (She also has a John McClane.)
So far, we’ve only heard of one case where LFL came down on someone making unlicensed t-shirts. And there have a been a lot of them… But is DustinCropsBoy.com walking too close to the line?
Of course, most of the fans don’t care. And if they can come up with some shirts that are more Threadless than Wal*Mart, even I might be swayed. (The current selection is less than encouraging, but it’s early.) But for now? I’ve spent too much time wrangling fanfic to be anything but wary of this sort of thing.
A belt buckle is merely the tip of the iceberg in StarWars.com’s Ten Unauthorized C-3PO Collectibles.
I’m not quite sure what this is supposed to be (it appears to involve remixes) but it’s kinda cute-looking in a hipster sort of way and Boba Fett is involved, so it’s bound to appeal to someone. (Thanks, B!)
You might have seen ChopShop’s pin-striped Tusken Raider, Vader and Chewbacca, on Boing Boing or Preshrunk, who have an apt point about liscensed tees: “WWE grade drek.” I hear ya, dude. The last mass-produced liscensed shirt I really loved I bought off a clearance rack at the mall back in the late 90’s.
Get them before LFL does!
