Netflix has announced that it has signed a new deal with Lucasfilm and Disney to get exclusive access to Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Netflix will also be getting the final season of the show, called The Lost Missions as an exclusive for its streaming subscribers. Along with the exclusive on the final season also comes other content.

This is the first Star Wars content to come to Netflix subscribers.  The deal includes access to all the other seasons of The Clone Wars, several director’s cut episodes that have never aired on TV, as well as the Clone Wars feature film. The final season of The Clone Wars will have 13 episodes and will be available for streaming on March 7.

The agreement between Netflix and Disney will also see Netflix becoming the exclusive subscription TV service to get first run live-action and animated movies from Disney starting in 2016. Netflix had previously announced that it would have new original series for its members based on Marvel characters starting in 2015.

Last year we saw a 24-foot long print that depicts the history of Doctor Who, which was inspired by the mysterious Bayeux Tapestry. The talented pop artist Aled Lewis was also inspired by the relic to make an illustrated history, this time of Star Wars. But instead of drawing it he decided to hand-stitch the entire thing.

Aled calls his creation The Coruscant Tapestry. Yes, it’s not actually a tapestry, nor is it from Coruscant, but you can say the exact same thing about the Bayeux Tapestry. The whole thing is 30ft. long and 13in. tall. and relays the first six episodes of Star Wars. Along the borders of the strip Aled inscribed quotes from the movies in Aurebesh, the alphabet that was invented for the Star Wars universe.

The Coruscant Tapestry is currently on display at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, California, but you can take it home for $20,000 (USD). Check out the gallery’s blog to see larger images of the piece.

These Doctor Who fleece hoodies look great –  warm and comfortable too. Whether you are travelling with or without the Doctor, this is perfect adventure-wear for travel to cooler times and places. They come from Etsy shop Rarity’s Boutique and they are really neat.

These hoodies are modeled after the 11th and 12th Doctors’ looks and even have sonic screwdrivers sewn into the pockets. And that’s really all you need or want in a hoodie right?

One will cost you $200(USD) and look like it is totally worth it. Just note it could take 4 to 6 weeks to get yours, since these are made to order.

If you’re gonna fight Daleks, you might as well do it in warmth and style.

You want to look like McFly don’t you? *knock knock* Hello McFly?!? Anybody home? Up until now, if you wanted to dress like Marty, at bare minimum you needed to at least buy an orange hunting vest. Fans of the Back To The Future movies can now dress just like Marty McFly with this t-shirt.

This awesome Back to the Future shirt is available on Amazon for about $30(USD). You get the maroon t-shirt, blue plaid button-up shirt, jean jacket, and orange vest, all in one shirt. Sweet! Marty was layered up real good and ready for the coldest weather.

It’s great for Halloween or just everyday geek wear. Just don’t forget your skateboard. Or your crazy old Doctor friend.

If you have been reading Technabob for a while, you might recall back in 2012 when we mentioned some Star Wars lightsaber umbrellas that had surfaced. When these things first hit the market, they went for over $60 each, which is way too much money if you ask me. Our favorite seller of all things geeky, ThinkGeek, now has its hands on three versions of the Star Wars Lightsaber Umbrella, and they are much more affordable this time out.

ThinkGeek has the Darth Vader, Obi-wan, and Yoda versions of the lightsaber umbrella for $35.99(USD). That is money well spent to stay dry. The shaft of the umbrella is anodized in the correct color for the blade of the saber when you open it.

The Yoda version is green, Vader style is red, naturally, and the Obi-Wan version has a blue shaft. Each of the hilts is styled after the lightsabers used in the films. The umbrellas also have a silk-screened logo for the Jedi or Imperial forces and come with a shoulder holder.

These won’t protect you from ice storms on Hoth, but they might be good for those rainy days in the swamps of Dagobah.
