			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve seen our share of <em>Star Wars</em> characters in <a title="The Plush Luke and Tauntaun Playset [Star Wars]" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/05/27/plush-luke-and-tauntaun-playset-star-wars/">plush form</a>, <a title="C-3PO Bespin Backpack is So Awesome It Hurts" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/10/06/c-3po-bespin-backpack/">back pack form</a> and <a title="Buy This Metal Yoda, You Will." href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/06/23/metal-yoda-scupture/">every</a> <a title="R2-Vac2 Sucks, but Actually Doesn’t" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/09/25/r2-vac2-r2-d2-vacuum/">other</a> <a title="Darth Vader CD Player: A Long Time Ago… We Still Listened to Compact Discs" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/10/26/darth-vader-cd-player/">form</a>, but this may be the cutest form I&#8217;ve seen yet &#8211; a plush and furry Chewbacca.<br />
<span id="more-81797"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81798" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/chewy-plush.jpg" alt="chewy plush" width="600" height="700" title="chewy plush photo" /></p>
<p>He has nice long arms and legs and looks like he might actually be climbing through some trees with his <a href="http://the-awesomer.tumblr.com/post/13987144262/wookiee-family-portrait">Wookiee family</a> on <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kashyyyk">Kashyyyk</a>. Now, I&#8217;m not saying that Chewie is lazy (I don&#8217;t want him pulling my arm out of it&#8217;s socket, after all), but this one also looks a lot like a sloth. I guess that&#8217;s what makes him so adorable.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81799" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/chewy-plush1.jpg" alt="chewy plush1" width="600" height="450" title="chewy plush1 photo" /></p>
<p>Sadly, you can&#8217;t buy this one right now. Hopefully, maker <a href="http://dennrodriguez.blogspot.com/2012/01/chewie.html">Denn Rodriguez</a> will create more of this guy for her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/OctokittyStore">Etsy shop</a>. He sure does look soft and cuddly. If all Wookies looked like this, no being in the <em>Star Wars</em> universe would be scared of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a huge ThinkGeek fan thanks to all the geeky cool stuff they have. My favorite thing ever is the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/09/21/starship-enterprise-pizza-cutter/">Starship Enterprise pizza wheel</a>. I actually own that, and each time I cut a pizza, I force the kids to hum the theme song. One of the latest sci-fi geek offerings on ThinkGeek is this set of three hot drinks for <em>Star Wars</em> fans.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-74434" title="star_wars_beverages" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/star_wars_beverages.jpg" alt="star wars beverages" width="600" height="370" /></p>
<p><span id="more-74430"></span>These drink mixes come in their own lithographed metal cans and are branded with one of our favorite characters of the <em>Star Wars</em> universe. The three drinks include Vader&#8217;s Dark Side Roast, Chewbacca&#8217;s Hoth Cocoa, and Yoda&#8217;s Dagobah Green Tea. I could be down with some Hoth Cocoa on a cold day &#8211; that sounds good.</p>
<p>The three flavors come together in one set. I&#8217;m not sure how large the cans actually are, but there&#8217;s just a small sampling of each. There are three ounces of ground coffee, an ounce of tea leaves, and 8 ounces of cocoa mix. That&#8217;s not a lot, but let&#8217;s face it you are paying for the cans much more than the contents. You can get the set now for $29.99 (USD) over at <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/ea88/">ThinkGeek</a>.</p>

<span id="more-71781"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71783" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/baby-wookie.jpg" alt="baby wookie" width="600" height="507" title="baby wookie photo" /></p>
<p>I mean, I guess that&#8217;s what a baby Wookiee might look like, but with all of that white hair, this could also be Chewbacca&#8217;s shriveled up old grandpa. Maybe a hybrid Ewok/Wookiee (Ewookie? Wokwook?) created in an Imperial lab somewhere in order to finally pay those furry bastards back for Endor. Whatever the hell it is, it scares me. You can find it <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/eyelovelucy/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_from=&amp;_ipg=&amp;_trksid=p3686">on eBay</a> for $200(USD) if you want to adopt this guy for some reason. Heike Kolpin created this sculpture of baby Chewbacca and check out the image below for more horrifying <em>Star Wars</em> babies.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71782" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/star-wars-babies.jpg" alt="star wars babies" width="600" height="750" title="star wars babies photo" /><br />
That&#8217;s baby Han, baby Luke and baby Leia. Yes, they look&#8230; slightly off. They certainly put some extra creepy in these dolls.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite being named after the <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B0">Russian/Ukranian word for &#8220;dog&#8221;</a>, I&#8217;ve always thought that Chewbacca&#8217;s name sounded like a hurried version of &#8220;chewing tobacco.&#8221; Apparently artist Terry Border thinks the same, so he made this literal interpretation to share with the world:</p>

<p><span id="more-70833"></span>Terry describes his 4-inch tall <a href="http://bentobjects.blogspot.com/2011/10/chewbacco.html">Chewbacco</a> sculpture simply as follows: <em>&#8220;Ingredients- Plastic snuf container, wire armature, dried chewing tobacco and glue. &#8216;Belt&#8217;- electrical and duct tape. &#8220;</em> It should be noted that Chewbacco still can cause gum disease and cause cancer. He can also pull your arms out of their sockets.</p>
<p>If you want Chewbacco up on your mantel, good news. The carcinogenic Chewie is up for auction now over on <a href="http://bit.ly/rcoFmf">eBay</a> with a current bid of just $50. Millennium Falcon spittoon not included.</p>

There isn&#8217;t much info aside from the many <a href="http://imgur.com/a/OnWA8">images of the process</a>, but obviously it took him a long time to make. The end result is that this costume could easily be used in one of the Star Wars films. He even captured Chewie&#8217;s teeth perfectly.</p>
<p>I would love to wear this on Halloween night. I would get tons of candy too, because everyone knows that Wookiees are capable of ripping people&#8217;s arms out of their sockets when they aren&#8217;t happy. After Halloween I would wear it while walking along some back country roads, so others could have a Bigfoot sighting and post the video to YouTube. Before you know it, people would notice that Bigfoot is looking more like a Wookiee and Chewie sightings would be the next big thing. Too bad I don&#8217;t have the talent to make one of these myself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love <em>Star Wars</em>. For a while, when I was younger, I used to watch the movies every month or so with my sister. Most of the time, we skipped the original and watched <em>Empire</em> and <em>Jedi</em>. That&#8217;s why I love this bathroom. It was designed by <a href="http://emilyjagoda.com/projectlist.html">Emily Jagoda</a> for a kid&#8217;s bathroom, but in our geek culture, it would be fine for adults as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56741" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/052011_rg_StarWarsTilesMosaic_01.jpg" alt="052011 rg StarWarsTilesMosaic 01" width="600" height="900" title="052011 rg StarWarsTilesMosaic 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-56740"></span>The mosaic is nice and clean. It features C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. These characters do seem to gel together in the movies and they do the same in this mosaic. There are more characters hidden away. I think I see a Luke Skywalker or Wedge Antilles peeking out as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56742" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/052011_rg_StarWarsTilesMosaic_02.jpg" alt="052011 rg StarWarsTilesMosaic 02" width="600" height="901" title="052011 rg StarWarsTilesMosaic 02 photo" /></p>
<p>Needless to say that I&#8217;d like to have one of these in my house, but I doubt that my wife or the new occupants of our duplex would approve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that Halloween&#8217;s still more than a month away, but after seeing the awesomely cute <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/09/force_choke_and_spit_up_baby_v.php">Barf Vader</a>, I decided to do a thorough research on &#8211; okay I hit Amazon. and Etsy. More on that later; let&#8217;s just say that most of the costumes will make your spawn ten times more adorable, while some will probably cause your child to hate you when he or she grows up and sees your old Halloween pictures. In honor of Barf Vader, let&#8217;s start with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M57T3Y?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000M57T3Y">Darth Vader costume</a>, which sells for $20 to $33 (USD) (price depends on size).</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20602" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/darth-vader-baby-costume1.jpg" alt="darth vader baby costume1" width="600" height="535" title="darth vader baby costume1 photo" /></p>
<p><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000M57T3Y" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /><br />
If little Anakin was wearing that when Qui-Gon Jinn met him, I&#8217;m sure the Jedi Master would&#8217;ve iced the Naboo slave on the spot. Or not. The costume is cute after all. But what if your kid is a little older, and really wants a taste of the Dark Side? Etsy seller <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31127893&amp;ref=sr_gallery_3&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=darth+vader+costume&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=&amp;order=date_desc&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">katesy</a> has got just the thing. Give her your child&#8217;s measurements (your child&#8217;s sir, not yours) and $200, and she&#8217;ll whip up this&#8230;this&#8230;thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20595" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/etsy-darth-vader-handmade-custome.jpg" alt="etsy darth vader handmade custome" width="600" height="800" title="etsy darth vader handmade custome photo" /></p>
<p>The picture reminds me of this joke I read somewhere: dad buys his son a Darth Vader mask, son wears it and goes, &#8220;Daddy, I am your father.&#8221; Anyway. We have to call on Yoda to defeat this Crocs-wearing Sith Lord!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20596" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/yoda-baby-costume.jpg" alt="yoda baby costume" width="600" height="450" title="yoda baby costume photo" /></p>
<p>FORCE SMILE! It works all the time. The Yoda costume is also available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HAYY5U?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000HAYY5U">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000HAYY5U" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> for $22. But what about your little girl? Dress her up in this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002INL1XW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002INL1XW">Princess Leia Costume</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002INL1XW" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" />. It sells for $19 to $28. Cinnamon roll hair included.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20597" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/princess-leia-baby-costume.jpg" alt="princess leia baby costume" width="600" height="600" title="princess leia baby costume photo" /></p>
<p>If on the other hand you think your kid will grow up to be a robot enthusiast, you might want to get the $20 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00103YMSW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00103YMSW">R2-D2 Costume</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00103YMSW" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" />. Actually don&#8217;t. I only included it here for the sake of completion; I&#8217;m sure you can come up with something better than this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20598" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/r2d2-baby-costume.jpg" alt="r2d2 baby costume" width="600" height="600" title="r2d2 baby costume photo" /></p>
<p>What about for parents who hate their kids? I&#8217;ve got something for you as well: for only $20 to $37, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X21BGW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000X21BGW">Chewbacca costume</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000X21BGW" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> will ensure that your kid will have no treats &#8211; or friends &#8211; come Halloween. Your kid will look like Ultimate Warrior dunked in poo.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20599" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/chewbacca-baby-costume.jpg" alt="chewbacca baby costume" width="600" height="600" title="chewbacca baby costume photo" /></p>
<p>What if you want to eat your kid? Two words: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NKJ9CW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000NKJ9CW">Pizza Baby</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000NKJ9CW" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" />.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not really that big of a <em>Star Wars</em> fan though, so I don&#8217;t which Episode Pizza Baby appeared. Was Pizza Baby in the Cantina scene?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="center;">I spotted this awesome Star Wars bedding for kids recently and thought, <em>why do kids always get the fun stuff? Why am I stuck with some boring monochrome Calvin Klein crap when kids get to sleep on Leia and Chewie and the gang? </em>I mean, look at this kid&#8217;s cool room, with the Death Star poster and all. So. Frakkin&#8217;. Jealous.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4167 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pillow1.jpg" alt="pillow1" width="520" height="418" title="pillow1 photo" /></p>
<p>You can completely geek out your kid&#8217;s room with all kinds of <em>Star Wars</em> pillows, sheets, duvet covers, and what have you- including my favorite piece (that I might have to grab for my couch) which is a pillow with the iconic opening text.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4168 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pillow2.jpg" alt="pillow2" width="520" height="365" title="pillow2 photo" /></p>
<p style="center;">These official<em> Star Wars</em> pieces are available individually from <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/dp110/index.cfm?pkey=cdecorative-pillows-blankets|k">Pottery Barn Kids</a>. They range from $24 to just under $200 for the various parts, in case you just want a splash o&#8217; <em>Star Wars</em> instead of going the whole hog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4166 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/pillow3.jpg" alt="pillow3" width="520" height="424" title="pillow3 photo" /></p>
<p>The one thing I do take issue with is that they&#8217;re listed under &#8220;boys bedding&#8221; which is just silly because I know loads of little girls who would totally dig this! You know, I would get a set for myself but I worry that people might think I was a little intense. Or that I looked really really really <em>really</em> old for my age.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re the kind of person who rolls out his Chewbacca impression at parties, this &#8220;Empire Strikes Back&#8221;-themed belt might be the <em>piece de resistance</em> to round out your existing collection of Boba Fett bobbleheads and ceramic Stormtrooper figurines.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2298" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/starwarsbelt.jpg" alt="starwarsbelt" width="518" height="157" title="starwarsbelt photo" /></p>
<p>The belts are made by <a href="http://www.refinding.com/">Refinding</a>, a wee company out of Kansas City that makes accessories out of all kinds of <span style="line-through;">trash</span>, er, reclaimed materials, like tire treads, tennis balls, typewriter letters, and, in this case, used trading cards. Refinders Sean and Linda use the word &#8220;trashion&#8221; quite liberally to describe their unique approach to accessorizing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2362" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/starwarsbeltclose.jpg" alt="starwarsbeltclose" width="519" height="213" title="starwarsbeltclose photo" /></p>
<p>The  belt is described as &#8220;Trading cards laminated, stitched to heavy nylon and then harnessed for the nefarious purpose of **holding up your pants.**&#8221; But since they sell this handmade and unique piece of fan-fashion for a mere <a href="http://www.refinding.com/products/detail/239">32 bucks</a>, it doesn&#8217;t seem like there&#8217;s much malice to be found.</p>
