Chewbacca Kong Climbs the Empire State Building

Posted on by

It’s been awhile since there was a good King Kong movie. But I don’t think the solution is bigger and badder visual effects. I think the problem is Kong himself. The Planet of the Apes movies have cornered the market on CGI monkeys, so I think that the studios need to do something different for the next Kong reboot. I bet tons of people would turn out to see a flick where Kong is actually a giant wookiee.

Artist Travis Chapman’s awesome painting features Chewie himself hanging from the spire atop the Empire State Building. But he’s not swatting away airplanes or helicopters, he’s knocking TIE fighters out of the sky. I bet if Godzilla showed up, he’d rip his arms out of their sockets.

If you want this awesome Star Wars fan art hanging on your wall – and you know you do – you can grab the original painting over on Etsy for $400(USD), or a print for $40.

Star Wars Snack Bowls Fill Your Sarlacc Pit with Nummies

Posted on by

My only complaint about these Star Wars Snack Bowls is that there is no Sarlacc Pit, which would have made complete sense, but at least you can use these to fill your own bottomless Sarlacc Pit of a stomach.

You can now eat from the upside down heads of Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt, or a Wampa. Clearly they are running out of licensing ideas.

Admittedly, these ceramic bowls are weird and creepy, but your love for all things Star Wars knows no bounds, so snack away, taking food from their mouths and putting it into yours.

They are $16.99(USD) each from ThinkGeek. A tauntaun lying down and cut open would have also been a great idea. I would love to snack from that bowl.

Put a Wookiee in Your Car with the Chewbelta Chewbacca Bandolier Seatbelt Cover

Posted on by

So you fancy yourself a Han Solo sort, huh? You are a rogue and a scoundrel, but what you lack is a Wookiee co-pilot for your very fast hunk of junk. Well, here is the next best thing the “Chewbelta,” a Chewbacca bandolier seatbelt cover.

Put it on the passenger side of your car so that every passenger becomes your trusted Wookiee sidekick. Maybe give them a bowcaster too. Or wear it yourself and be both pilots while navigating traffic and pretending it’s an asteroid field.

I guess you could also get yourself a life sized wookie and strap it into the passenger seat, that way you can use the carpool lane and have an authentic wookie co-pilot. Grab one today for just $20(USD) over on Amazon.

The Best Star Wars Swimwear

Posted on by

Everybody loves Star Wars! It’s one of the biggest franchises in history and of course it’s spawned all kinds of merchandise, from spin-off movies and TV shows, to countless toys and action figures, books, household items, and my favorite, clothing! There’s so much great Star Wars clothing out there and I’m here to share some of my favorite Star Wars swim suits!

I hope you love my picks, and always remember, there’s plenty more to look at!

Star War At-AT One Piece Swim Suit


This stylish one-piece is subtle and subdued, not overly flashy, but it’s understated appearance looks good at any pool or beach. The black At-At designs against the white backdrop make for a geeky yet still fashionable piece.

Star Wars BB-8 Boys Swim Trunks


The bright orange color is perfect for summer and it’s not too bright, as it contrasts with the dark blue background. BB-8 is a beloved, relative newcomer to the Star Wars series, at the cute little droid made his first appearance in Star Wars Episode 7. No wonder he’s already so popular, I mean, just look how adorable he is on these swim trunks!

Star Wars Ship Men’s Swim Trunks


I know these are the only swim trunks for adult men I’ve included, but they are the best I’ve found. The space ships are cool looking and any man wearing these will still feel fashionable without being too nerdy.

Star Wars C-3PO and R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


I love the print on this swimsuit! It looks like a scene straight out of the movies and it’s a beautiful image. Also, who can resist C-3PO and R2-D2? They are such a great duo!

Star Wars Logo Bikini


Okay, I know this is the only bikini on the entire list. I love bikinis, don’t get me wrong, but when looking for something to show off my love of Star Wars, most bikinis don’t have enough fabric to properly show off the love. (They’re better for showing off skin.) Anyway, I thought this bikini, with its simple Star Wars logo definitely shows off a proper amount of geekery.

Star Wars Stormtroopers Boys Swim Trunks


Blue is my favorite color, so of course I had to include these awesome swim trunks! The color is gorgeous and what little boy doesn’t want to wear a stormtrooper print? These trunks are seriously great!

Star Wars Retro Boys Swim Trunks


Technically, these trunks aren’t retro, but I’ve called them that as the design just looks so 70s inspired. It looks like a pair of swim trunks that a boy would be wearing at the pool right after watching the original Star Wars movie in 1977; just look at the images of Chewbacca and Darth Vader and the rest of the gang. I’m a huge fan of retro designs, so these swim trunks are a huge winner.

Star Wars R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


Can you say cute? I know R2-D2 seems to be on almost all Star Wars merch, but he’s just such a lovable character, not to mention how great he looks as a clothing design. I love this one-piece swim suit. It’s sexy and adorable at the same time.

Star Wars Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Toddler Swim Trunks


After so many boys swim trunks, it was about time to feature trunks meant for an even younger age. These cuties are for toddlers and your tiny tot will be sure to look like the coolest kid at the pool. Look at the cartoony versions of Darth and the stormtrooper, they just get my heart!

Star Wars Girls Tankini


After featuring so many women’s suits, it was time to show a girl’s swim suit. This tankini is adorable and will show off your future Princess Leia’s love of Star Wars. She will be the coolest princess on the sands of Tatooine.

Star Wars Darth Vader One Piece Swim Suit
This might be my favorite swim suit on the entire list. It’s definitely something I could see myself wearing. Darth Vader may be evil, but while wearing this suit, you’ll look evilly sexy.

Star Wars R2-D2 Long Sleeve Swim Suit

Long sleeve? Odd choice, you may be thinking, but if you’re planning to go surfing, this might be a good option. Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more modest or something to help you cover up on an especially burning sunny day. Whatever the reason is, this swimsuit, once again featuring our friend R2-D2, is a great choice.

I hope you found something to wear for a great day at the beach or pool and to show off your love of the wonderful Star Wars!

Han Solo and Chewbacca High Heels: Shoe Wars

Posted on by

Etsy seller Orions Originals make custom geeky shoes, including these awesome Han Solo and Chewbacca high heels that are just perfect for any lady who has a Millennium Falcon dress.


Actually, forget the Falcon dress. These shoes need matching pants. One leg can be Han Solo’s striped pants with blaster and holster, the other a hairy Wookiee leg.


If you love both Han and Chewy, but can’t pick a favorite, these are the shoes for you. They certainly make a statement. $200(USD) seems like a steal for these custom made shoes – assuming you can pull off the look.

Woman Wears Chewbacca Mask During Labor

Posted on by

A woman in Detroit called Katie Stricker Curtis recently went into the hospital to have her baby, and to celebrate the painful occasion, she did something awesome. She wore an electronic Chewbacca mask during labor. Of course, the mask made Chewie sounds that turned all of her labor pains into Wookiee screams.

She sounds like a pretty cool woman. My wife was definitely not down for any funny stuff when she was in labor. Katie uploaded the video after she gave birth to a healthy baby boy if you are wondering.

I’m sort of leaning towards the ideathat she didn’t want anyone to see her without her makeup, and that’s why she wore the mask.

Chewbacca Selk’bag Wearable Sleeping Bag: Laugh It Up, Fuzzball.

Posted on by

Just a couple of days ago, I mentioned the Selk’bag Darth Vader wearable sleeping bag and how cool it was. I’d be so pissed right now if I had bought that Vader bag, because this Chewbacca one is infinitely cooler. It’s printed with faux hair to make you look like a walking ball of fur.

It has the requisite bandolier printed on it as well. The only thing missing is Chewie’s bowcaster laser rifle thingy. Like the Vader bag, this one comes in kids medium and large. Adults can choose from S, M, L or XL.

The chewy suit will cost you $78.99 to $98.99 depending on the size you buy at ThinkGeek. If you wear this camping, pray someone doesn’t mistake you for Bigfoot and shoot you.

Star Wars Chewbacca Slippers Make Wookiee Sounds: Footweawrrrrrr

Let out a mighty roar and stomp across the floor in these cool… make that warm, Chewbacca slippers. In fact, you won’t have to make a sound, the slippers make the sounds for you.

chewbacca_1
These fun slippers emit two different wookiee roars (“RRRAARRWHHGWWR” and “WAAAAAAAAARGH”) when you walk and one size fits most adult humans. These are perfect for winter months, vacations on Hoth, or for just lounging around the house in.

Give them as a gift and they will warm their feet and their heart. Now you can be the walking carpet that you have always wanted to be, so go ahead and laugh it up fuzzball.
