Please, someone, tell me what it is about Star Wars that makes me want to have items that I have long outgrown. They put Storm Troopers on keychain-sized figurines and throw pillows with famous lines, and though they go with nothing, though I would be embarrassed for my nongeek friends and family to see them, I want them.
And here we go again: Star Wars Plush Dolls ($14).

If you need a last-minute gift and you've got more DIY in you than cash in the bank, then download this pattern for Star Wars Light Sabers.
Just four bucks from Etsy seller carbonscoring, you can have the pattern emailed to you (which includes detailed instructions) so you can knit it up, but if you want to give the pattern as a gift, you can also get a hard copy.
These are also an excellent alternative to the plastic version that kids usually get, and of course, try to beat each other senseless with (the laser concept being foreign to them).

What do I need these for? I have no idea. But the Star Wars Stack 'Ems have an irresistible pull on me either way.

Marc Ecko is really establishing himself as the mainstream go-to for Star Wars apparel, after having introduced the Boba Fett Hoodie and Storm Trooper Hoodie.
And he's not content to stop there. There's a whole SW shop up — with one of my favorite new pieces being this Darth Vader T-Shirt with a tattoo-inspired design ($34).

Lessons can be found in every corner of Star Wars. Your father could be your nemesis. Your love interest could be your sister.

In Utah recently, a movie theater full of parents and kids expecting to watch Disney's family-appropriate High School Musical 3 were instead treated to the beginning of the R-rated flick Sex Drive. Apparently, the opening few minutes of the movie include nudity so parents didn't even have a chance to shield their youngsters. Understandably, folks were horrified:
"I could not carry my little children out before they were exposed to extremely vulgar and sexually explicit material," one parent complained in an e-mail to the Desert News.

Now that you've gotten a good sense of what Star Wars: The Old Republic is all about from my sneak preview of the game, here's a behind-the-scenes video. I captured it where the art director, some of the producers, and lead designers weigh in on the game and its development;, from inception to final product.

If you can't get enough Lucas info (you know I can't!), then you should be pretty stoked about their latest release for your small screen. I got an early preview of Star Wars: The Old Republic at LucasArts studios yesterday afternoon, where we were given a sneak peek of the newest Lucas and BioWare title.
The latest game to come from the Star Wars franchise will have you playing online with thousands of others (a la World of Warcraft) and battle against evil...or even be evil and play as a Sith!
