Hasta La Gadget!

Last month we heard rumors of Harrison Ford possibly returning to reprise his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode 7. The news came from a Latino Review reporter, although there were conflicting reports coming in at the same time. Today, on the other hand, isn’t speculation as Carrie Fisher has confirmed she’ll return as Princess Leia in Star Wars: Episode 7.

During an interview with Palm Beach Illustrated, Fisher was asked if she would be coming back as Princess Leia:

Question: Disney is going to continue the Star Wars saga, producing movies set to hit theaters starting in 2015. Can you confirm whether you’ll reprise the role of Princess Leia?

Fisher: Yes.

Reports of Fisher returning as Princess Leia first circulated this past November when she said she would return to the Star Wars franchise, but it was later confirmed her remarks were tongue-in-cheek and in no way confirmed her return.

If reports of Harrison Ford’s return turn out to be true, we’ll personally be calling Mark Hammill on an hourly basis to make sure he’s aware he’s the last piece of the puzzle missing from the old cast returning to a new Star Wars film.

You’d better start perfecting your Yoda voice now, Star Wars fans. Because the first thing that you will want to do after buying this sweet Yoda hoodie is to find someone much taller than you and train them in the ways of The Force.

This awesomely big-eared Yoda hoodie was created by Erin Maynard and will cost you just $45.99(USD). That’s a small price to pay to instantly become a Jedi master. Judge me by my price, do you?

If you live in a swamp, I would not pass a deal like this up. Especially if you live in a hut in that swamp.

These are the dolls you’re looking for. Graphic designer, illustrator and disciple of the Russian side of the Force Andy Stattmiller made nesting dolls of the characters in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. Just the main ones though. Otherwise some of the dolls would be insanely small.

Andy made the dolls out of wood and acrylic paint. The dolls are separated into two groups of seven dolls each: the good guys and the bad guys. The largest dolls are 8″ tall while the smallest ones are just 0.75″.

I find their lack of limbs hilarious.

Check out Andy’s Flickr page for more pictures of the dolls.

There are a number of Star Wars-themed outfits out there that look pretty good – but most of them are clearly for cosplay. But you could probably wear this Star Wars dress out to a club or bar, which is one of the reasons why I think it works really well.

The C-3PO-inspired dress looks darn good, and even though C-3PO has been underrepresented in fashion, this dress makes looking like a protocol droid quite fashionable. I can already see these working not just at Halloween parties, but in everyday life, which is a bonus. Who wouldn’t want to dress up as a Star Wars character every day that they could?

The Gold Metal Man Dress is available from GeekyU’s Etsy store for $199.99(USD). If that’s not for you, then they’ve got other apparel that you might be interested in, including the slightly more obvious Artuito Dress shown in the first picture above.

Kids can be rebellious. I say give a rebel kid a rebel bed. A rebel X-wing Fighter bed like this one. Well, the bed actually sits beneath the body of the ship, allowing the kid to climb up into the cockpit. If I had had this as a kid, I would never have left my bedroom.

The detail is pretty nice on this X-Wing bed too, with its Astromech droid, X-foils that open and close, and a cockpit where you can sit and watch DVDs on the screen in the nose of the ship.

The owner of this bed sure is one lucky kid. I hope he grows up to destroy a Death Star and earn some fame and glory.
