A Little Bit On The Stylish Star Wars Shirts Side: West coast artsy lifestyle brand Super7 in conjunction with Mighty Fine and Lucas Films will be releasing these snazzy Star Wars tees on March 1st. Each one is designed by Super7 founder Brian Flynn and will only set you back $25.
CONTEST TIME!!!
We’re giving away a Star Wars FX Lightsaber w/ Removable Blade ($129.99 value) and all you have to do is follow us on Tumblr and reblog this post!
If you don’t already know, this is the mother of all lightsaber replicas. It lights up from bottom to top, fades off from top to bottom, makes that trademark hum that we all know and love, spurts motion-controlled wooshing sounds, and lets out a sensual *kzzzzt* as you beat it against stuff. In short: it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of aside from an actual lightsaber.
One random lucky winner will be announced and contacted on Friday. Good luck!

The Perks of Being A Geek Blogger
Some fresh Star Wars swag from Brisk was just delivered to Albotas H.Q. today. I scored a Galactic Empire tote, Darth Maul Mimibot USB drive, Yoda and Darth Maul t-shirt, Stormtrooper headphones by Coloud, and a freaking Darth Maul Force FX Lightsaber! Thanks, Brisk!
Speaking of Brisk, their animated Darth Maul vs Yoda spot makes its TV debut this Sunday during Fox’s Animation Domination block which starts at 8/7c. Keep those eyeballs peeled. In the meantime, I’ll be wandering my neighborhood pantsless, wearing the above t-shirt and headphones while swinging my new lightsaber at strangers.
