Is Star Wars cool at all anymore? I know Spike TV would certainly like you to think so, as they’re currently playing all six movies back to back. In fact, I would say that their well done add campaign is winning back a lot of nostalgia for the series; that is, as long as you don’t sit down and actually watch it. There’s also been some pretty cool products lately, not least of which is the R2-D2 projector I mentioned a few days ago.
That being said, I don’t know if the world is ready for a Marc Ecko designed line of Star Wars hoodies. These are a little bit old news, as they were announced a few months ago. But since I haven’t actually seen anybody wearing ‘em, hey, I bet they’re news to you.
There’s a bunch of different items in the line, including an all white storm trooper hoodie*, and a “Do or Do Not” Yoda T-Shirt, but for my money, the coolest one (relatively speaking) is the all black, rhinestone studded Darth Vader hoodie. With an adjustable drawstring hood, kangaroo pockets with embroidered logo, rib knit sleeve cuffs, this 100% cotton fleece, machine washable hoodie is enough to turn you to the Dark Side.
Hey, you have to end with the obligatory Star Wars pun, right? And thanks to Mary for the tip on this one!

*Do not wear after Labor Day!
