C-3PO Bathing Suit Added To The Roster

I'm sure you all remember the R2-D2 and Vader bathing suits from my previous post.

Well, I guess they went over so well that Black Milk decided to make our other favorite droid into a bathing suit.

No, not IG-88, C-3PO!

You don't need to hear the odds of you looking smokin' hot in this bathing suit

Perhaps being called Goldenrod isn't such a bad thing

Damn, I never thought I'd have to choose between which droid I'd want to be.

What do you think? Would you rather be/see a girl in a R2 or 3PO bathing suite?

Giant Star Wars Plush

Oh my geekness! I didn't even know that these exsisted until a few minutes ago while visiting GWS!

Not only are these super cute, but right now they're on SALE too! I love ThinkGeek!

Inside each of us are a lot of structural goodies, like muscles and bone. But there is also one more structural piece. It flows around us and through us. You know it; we're talking about The Force. Well, what if you crammed a skeleton and The Force into a plush? Well, then you'd have these Giant Star Wars Collector Plush.

Each Giant Star Wars Collector Plush is loaded with exquisite details - from Vader's open front skirt to Artoo's removable third leg (there's a joke in there somewhere). And they are giant - the big ones measure in at almost 2 feet tall! Add each is very poseable, thanks to the internal armature. They look great on your shelf, they look awesome in your office, but most of all the place your Giant Star Wars Collector Plush will feel most home is in your arms. Awwww.

I want Vader sooo bad! 

And Chewie... And R2... And Yoda...

Oh I just want them all! Which would you pick?

Leslie Nielsen and Irvin Kershner - R.I.P.

Today we mourn the passing of two great men, who through their art have affected many lives.

Leslie Nielson 1926-2010

Irvin Kershner 1923-2010

Leslie Nielsen, a Canadian-born actor who went from drama to inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in "Airplane!" and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in the "The Naked Gun" comedies, died on Sunday in Florida. He was 84.
His agent, John S. Kelly, said Nielsen died at a hospital near his home in Ft. Lauderdale where he was being treated for pneumonia.

Nielsen's nephew Doug Nielsen, who lives in Richmond, B.C., said his uncle had been hospitalized for the past 12 days and died in his sleep with wife Barbaree by his side.

I grew up watching Leslie Nielsen's movies with my Dad. Often we would go to the local movie store and pick up The Naked Gun series, Police Squad, Airplane or Dracula Dead and Loving It, and spend the weekend laughing. To this day we still make jokes about these movies over the phone when we talk.

Last year, had the pleasure of sitting in on his meet and greet for the new movie, Stan Helsing that he was in. Watching him at the panel was amazing. He just sat there and joked the entire time. I didn't get to meet him after, which was a shame because I wanted him to sign the naked gun birthday card that I had made for my Dad. I also made a great shirt that said I <3 Frank Drebin on it.

I will miss his crazy antics and his deep, perfect voice. Rest in Peace Leslie.

Director Irvin Kershner, best known for helming The Empire Strikes Back, died today at his home in Los Angeles. He was 87 years old.

Kershner’s goddaughter Adriana Santini, who resides in France, told French news agency AFP that Kershner died after a long illness. No other details about his death were given.

Irvin Kershner, who brought us not only James Bond's Never Say Never Again, Robocop 2, but best of all The Empire Strikes Back. Without him, Star Wars would never have been the same. He brought conflict and depth to our favorite heroes and brought us a sequel like no other has ever managed, making Empire one of the all time favorite Star Wars films. Had he been able to direct Jedi, Han would've died for the cause and Luke would've ridden off into the sunset in the end. There would've been no ewoks!

I truly believe that Irvin Kershner made Star Wars into what it is now for so many people. Rest in peace, Irvin.

R2-D2 Dress

As if the R2-D2 Bathing Suit and the Star Wars Crawl Dress weren't enough to make you happy as a sarlacc, comes this adorable R2-D2 Dress! I want to make my own!

As of right now, I don't have any information on this dress, other than I found it on Fashionably Geeky and that the girls name is Alice. I'll see what else I can dig up.

So, if you could have any Star Wars character made into a dress, who would you chose?

Me? Either Boba Fett or Han in Carbonite :)
