Jesus Diaz — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:06:06 EST

Adidas Imperial Stormtropper sneakers. You know, so you can run faster when random people start chasing you down the street. To beat the crap out of you. Or ask where did you buy them. It can go either way.

There are also Darth Vader shoes and hoodies, all part of next year's Adidas Star Wars Collection. Check out the rest of the images at [Kicks on Fire—Thanks Ponies]

The Definitive Star Wars Wedding

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:50:00 EDT

OK, we are done with the Star Wars weddings. Tiger and Issa win starting with her stormtrooper bustier. Unless the Darth Vader marries you in spectral form, no Star Wars wedding will surpass this one:

No, it's not a show. It's an actual wedding.

Look at her dress—classier than the Stormtrooper hooker, though—the lightsabers, the decorations, the invitations, the tables, the guests, and the dancing floor with the disco Death Stars.

It's so tacky that goes around into ultracool kitsch glamour territory, and—thanks to Pat Dy's great photography—actually makes it look fascinating and/or absolutely nuts. How much money did all this Star Wars orgy cost? We will never know, but for sure many Bothan died to make this possible.

And by the way, can anybody tell me what, in the name of Peter Cushing, is this kid doing at the wedding?

Thank you very much in advance. Check the rest of the photos here. [Patdyphotography via Rock and Roll Bride—Thanks Genevieve]

Admit It, The Stormtrooper Hoodie is a Little Tempting

Mark Wilson — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:40:00 EDT

By Mark Ecko, this Stormtrooper 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. It may sound like overkill, but to the die-hard Star Wars fan, it's a whole lot easier than carrying around plastic armor everywhere you go. $98 through Ecko's site, there's a pretty great Boba Fett version as well but it's lacking the ever-important, identity-protecting mask.

UPDATE: Enter 'STARWARSFAN8' at checkout and get $10 off orders of $100 or more and free shipping. Deal is good through Saturday.

Star Wars Flashers Use The Force (i.e., Flashing, Spinning Heads) to Alert You to Calls

Elaine Chow — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:10:00 EDT

Always had something against Darth Vader and his many Stormtrooper cronies? Why not denigrate them to the lowest forms of consumer electronics by decapitating their shrunken heads and turning those into nifty Star Wars phone flashers? Now if you're in a way-too-noisy cantina, or if you're phone is on silent, the head of the Dark Lord (or Stormtrooper No. 37291018) will spin 'round and 'round to make sure you don't miss your call. How droll. $9 a head. [Firebox via Random Good Stuff]

35,310 Lego Star Wars Clone Trooper Army Invades Earth

Jesus Diaz — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:15:00 EDT

What are 35,310 Lego Star Wars Clone Troopers mini-figs doing together, apart from planning a planet invasion after breaking out of the giant Lego storage cathedrals? Raising awareness and funds for autism, that's what. So if you wondered where all those helmets at the Lego stormtrooper cloning machine go to, check the gallery for some amazing high resolution shots.

A ~~Lego employee~~ group of Lego UK employees built the Clone Trooper army in just six and a half hours to raise money for The National Autistic Society. The National Autistic Society is a British organization dedicated to helping "people with autism and Asperger syndrome live their lives with as much independence as possible."

Stormtrooper High Heels Are Key to All Your Sex Fantasies

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:30:00 EDT

If Luke had worn these on the Death Star, Leia would have never said he was too short to be a stormtrooper. And then she would have smacked his sorry peasant ass to grab them. And maybe George Lucas would have never decided to produce the prequels after that. 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?

Storm Blooper Reveals the True Dark Side Overlord

And so, the true ruler of the Dark Side was subtly revealed; Dr Robotnik, how we underestimated you. [Boing Boing]

Stormtrooper Replica Helmet Looks Great, Costs the Earth and Smells of Plastic

Haroon Malik — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 22:00:00 EDT

If you love Star Wars as much as us, you may want to sit down and be in a caffeine free, relaxed state before reading this. Here goes, Master Replicas has launched a limited edition Shadow Stormtrooper helmet. Awesome.

Instead of looking like a plastic turd as we were expecting, it actually looks rather smashing and we want. The production is seriously limited, only 500 pieces will be produced, and unless you are planning on starring in a Star Wars remake anytime soon, the shocking $649.99 asking price may be a little too steep. If you really want it, why not take a trip to a galaxy far, far away and bag your self a real Stormtrooper—it'll be cheaper. [eBay via Uberreview]

Just what you want to see when you're doing the shopping at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai &mdash three badass Steampunk nasties in the Al Jabber art gallery. Gallery below.

Er, shouldn't that be the Al Jabba gallery? [Hombre Lobo via Boing Boing]

Storm Trooper Stripper (OK, Prostitute)

Stormtrooper Dances from the Dark Side to Disco

AddyDugdale — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 09:55:41 EDT

There's no real reason to put this up apart from the fact that I think it's funny, it's nothing to do with the iPhone, and that it's a holiday on Wednesday. Aided and abetted by a cast of, er, quite a lot, blogger Danny Choo gives it loads to Kool and the Gang in the streets and subway of Tokyo.

Authentic Star Wars StormTrooper Outfit: Fun All By Your Lonesome

Gizloco — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 15:33:24 EDT

Listen up, Star Wars nerds. A company is offering a "totally authentic" Imperial Stormtrooper outfit just in time for Halloween (or the latest larping festival). Each part of the outfit is hand-crafted from the very molds used in the original film to ensure only the highest of quality in StormTrooper evening wear.

I've never seen the original Star Wars films (sue me), but each TK421, which is the suit's official name, apparently has the same belt that saved Luke and Leia's lives. You also forfeit your right to ever talk to a girl again for a period of at least one year when you buy the suit.

The painfully authentic StormTrooper suit can be found online for around $2,400. – Nicholas Deleon
