Oct 20 2009 Marc Ecko/Timex Star Wars Watches Coming To Compliment Existing Line Of Hoodies
As you already know because you read Geekologie religiously and don't get news from anywhere else (nor should you) Marc Ecko already has a line of Star Wars themed hoodies out. And now he's teaming up with Timex to release a series of Star Wars watches.
This post on The Marc Ecko Blog actually dates back to July, but it shows off a couple of watch designs including a Stormtrooper model and a Boba Fett one, which each feature a mixture of metals, rubber and nylons as well as sounds and light-up 'Indiglo' features. Pricing and availability info is still scarce, though the blog post does mention "Holiday 2009″ so if there's a Star Wars fan on your Christmas list you might want to keep an eye out for them.
Let me get a show of hands for who would wear one of these. Okay, now a show of hands for who would rock a Geekologie t-shirt. Hell yeah you would! And you know what? You'd look gooooood. Doable even.

Jul 10 2009 Death Star Of Hearts: Star Wars Tattoo Chick
Fail? She's all win in my book. Between Boba Fett and the heart-shaped Death Star, I would do all sorts of things to this woman. Namely: try to introduce myself, get choked up, point my finger at her yelling "pew pew pew!", and then sob into my Star Wars beach towel.
Thanks to Johnny Freightliner, who may or may not be hauling pirated goods.
Mar 17 2009 One Day Only: Star Wars Bobble Heads
Woot.com's sale today is six random Star Wars bobble heads for $30 + $5 shipping. At first I thought it sounded like a ripoff because they look tiny, but each figure actually stands over 7" tall, so it's still a ripoff. Haha -- you still bought them didn't you? I call the Jawa if you get one!
Thanks to Mariah, who doesn't deal with bobble heads because she needs a real man.
Dec 26 2008 He's Going All The Way!: Star Wars Jerseys
I'm not saying wearing a $110 Star Wars themed sports jersey is going to hinder my chances of rounding third base and heading home with a female, but it might. And let's face it, I need all the help I can get. But just in case -- ladies? Who wants to do it while I wear a Jedi jersey? Any takers? No? Okay, fine, any givers? Hey, I'm down to experiment -- after all, I am *lighting Bunsen burner for mood lighting* a sexual scientist.
Aaaaand there went my eyebrows.
Hit the jump to see basketball, football and hockey jerseys.

Oct 8 2008 Star Wars Hoodies Are Out Of This Universe!
Ecko has a new line of hoodies out with a Star Wars theme. As you can see, the Stormtrooper and Boba Fett models are the awesome. Minus the $100 price tag. But still, I'll take one if it, you know, fell of the back of a truck. I'm winking at you right now. Make that happen. Fine, I'll actually pay. I'm gonna get the Stormtrooper one, and I'm gonna rock that shit all zipped down with the mask and all. I'll let you know how laid I get.
UPDATE: I got hit by a taxi. My Force was malfunctioning, and also, I think he ran a red.
Thanks to Britany, Vince, and P05TMAN, who all look just as good naked as in wicked Star Wars hoodies. Trust me, I've seen pictures.
Aug 27 2008 Grown Man Builds LEGO Boba Fett Costume
Simon, a grown-ass man, went and built himself a full Boba Fett costume out of LEGO pieces. As you can see, it's pretty damn impressive. Right up there with that little kid's cardboard Halo arsenal. Hit the jump for a bunch more of Simon and his costume, along with a Vader version he made as well. Uh-oh -- I just had the most brilliant idea ever.

Aug 14 2008 How To: Make A Cardboard Boba Fett Helmet
There's an Instructables out there that teaches the do-it-yourselfer how to make their own Boba Fett helmet out of cardboard. You know, so you can mix universes and play PEW PEW with this kid in his backyard. Unfortunately, no matter how good your helmet turns out, you're still a 30-year old Trick-or-Treater. Which is just pathetic unless you score a couple full sized candy bars and some wax lips. And if that's the case, quick -- gimme a sheet, I'm coming with you! Also, hand over a freaking Snickers.
Hit the jump for a picture of the comfortable interior.

Apr 10 2008 Star Wars Fett's Vette Music Video Is Okay
Another Star Wars rap song with music video. I'd heard the song before (by mc chris), but never seen a video (which is made from clips of the movies appropriate for the current lyrics). It helps. But I still can't get past the sound of his voice sometimes and why he's rapping about Fett's Vette. I don't remember any Corvettes in the movies. Is that even what he's talking about? I will admit though, the Vette gets 'em wet is a car for balding middle aged men with subpar dongery money.*
*To any Vette owners out there, I'm just jealous. Not only am I balding and seriously not packing any heat down there, but the transmission dropped out of my Metro and now I'm stuck walking everywhere.
Thanks to Nicole, who moonlights as a bounty hunter herself, for the tip
Mar 31 2008 Bronze Boba Fett PEZ Dispenser Looks Niiice
Scott, a man who loves both fruit flavored sugar cubes and Star Wars, cast a Boba Fett PEZ dispenser in bronze.
I made this using the lost wax casting process with an organic burnout. The material is silicon bronze. The original sleeve for the Pez broke, so I cannibalize dparts from another dispenser: Simba from the Lion King. The hole in the body resulted from an incomplete casting of the thin part; probably could have had better sprue placement. I like the results, though. The replacement sleeve was modified for the "battle scar" effect, revealing the Pez. Finishing was minimal, with a pretty standard bronze patina.
Great job, Scott. And you were right about the battle scar, that turned out pretty awesome. Now you'll always know when you're running low on on your sugar fix. Speaking of fixes *shoots 50cc's of granulated sugar into arm* Ahhhh, that's the stuff. Wait, something's not right. *reads box* Iodized salt! Not again.
Several more pictures of Boba PEZ after the jump.
