In the past couple of years we’ve seen the rise of large digital picture frames, which try to justify their exorbitant prices with a gallery of curated images. A company called Pins Collective is doing the same thing from the opposite end of the spectrum with its wearable backlit LCD display. The Digital Pin’s LCD measures 1.3″

Many men think a woman wearing high heels is kind of hot. Though if men had to wear heels to attract women, I think many of us would be happier with beer and football at home.

It’s easy to find NFC or RFID rings these days. Adafruit sells them, but the electronics shop knows that it caters mainly to makers, so it came up with a guide for a customizable 3D printed ring. The ring gets is power from Adafruit’s micro NFC transponder.

San Francisco-based costume designer Mikaela Holmes created this amazing Millennium Falcon purse which does the Kessel run in record parsecs and will also carry all of your accessories. It is the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy or on your hip. The super-detailed leather purse is lined with fabric printed with Millennium Falcon blueprints, it has metal grommets for the engine vent holes, and even has LEDs for the ship’s hyperdrive engine lights.

Everyone knows the opening crawl from Star Wars. Seeing those words is a special thrill to every geek anywhere. But what if you could actually wear the opening crawl on your wrist? Well, you can. You can now wear the very first crawl from the first movie.

Growing up, I knew every time I went to see my grandmother on Saturday, we would be going to the mall. I also knew that meant lunch out, candy, and at least one new toy. The downside was I knew she would be spending an hour or so in the sewing store while I went out of my mind with boredom. She would also spend lots of time with all the sewing patterns that show you how to cut out your fabric and sew it up to make clothes.

This little girl is wearing a custom-made armor kit that was created from a 48-inch First Order Stormtrooper toy by RPF contributor Jim Brock. If either of my kids were small enough to fit into costume armor like this, I would be building it right now. The little girl’s costume is complete with helmet and a pink rifle sure to hit nothing she aims at.

There are plenty of Star Wars jackets and clothing out there that you can buy on the cheap; things like t-shirts and hoodies. If you want something fancy schmancy that looks like it came from the Star Wars universe, you can get that too.

Be the bounty hunter you’ve always wanted to be with this super awesome and nerdy jacket. This Boba Fett windbreaker makes you look just like our favorite Mandalorian any time. You’ll have to supply the helmet and real jetpack yourself though. The windbreaker features Boba Fett’s armor styling with embroidered details.

If you are the slobby sort who can’t seem to keep your food off your clothes, you might want to use a napkin. The Three Stooges always crammed napkins into their shirt collars to keep food off.

If you are a motorcyclist who also happens to be a hardcore cat person, check this out. Here are a bunch of helmets that have ears and look like a cat’s face. There are several designs and while some look like normal cats, others look like something out of Wonderland. All of the visors have cat faces on them with little dots that allow you to see out without vision being blocked.

General, there’s a settlement in the Mushroom Kingdom that needs your help! Redditor 3dbdotcom designed Fallout-themed Super Mario Bros. costumes for this year’s PAX South. He went as Mario, his wife was Princess Peach and his friend was the baddest Luigi you’ve ever seen. They’re not incredibly complex costumes, but each one is greater than the sum of its parts.

In 2014, fashion designer Anouk Wipprecht made a robotic spider dress that can brandish its spiky appendages when something comes too close to the wearer. Anouk’s new wearable wings have a similar feature. Since they’re made with LEGO, they’re easier to build than the arachnid-inspired armor. The wings are mainly made of Mindstorms EV3 and Technic parts.

When Robert proposed to fellow Nintendo fan Jeanette back in 2014, he did it with some Zelda-themed scrolls. Naturally, the couple both wanted to keep the theme going when they turned to Takayas Custom Jewelry for their wedding band.

Like most of us, Darth Vader had a boss. I’m sure Imperial management wanted him to do more than just force-choking admirals and chilling in his ball thingy where he could take off his mask. I bet he had paperwork to do, bosses love that crap. 

There are plenty of geeky gals out there who love the Star Wars franchise. The thing is that not all women like to be overt about their geeky side. For those who prefer to be more subtle, this Darth Vader Kimono Cardigan is perfect. It looks like any other kimono cardigan – assuming that’s a thing – but upon closer examination, the pattern contains images of Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Imperial logos and Death Stars.
