Get your geek on with the ‘I Am Chewie’ hoodie, and other rad Star Wars apparel

Updated 5/19/2015: After failing to find the Darth Vader dress upon first inspection, we eventually tracked down not one, but two Darth Vader dresses. The Darth Vader tube dress ($34) and the Darth Strikes Back dress ($50) are both available on WeLoveFine’s website.

If you’re a woman who loves Star Wars, and you have unabashed adoration for everybody’s favorite “walking carpet,” you’ll absolutely fall in love with the Chewbacca hoodie. Yes, you heard right, the Chewbacca hoodie. It’s a hoodie that basically turns you into Chewbacca (sans the Wookiee facial features of course) and it’s pretty awesome.

Earlier last month, WeLoveFine launched a new line of women’s Star Wars apparel by Goldie, called Goldie Strikes Back. The collection, which debuted at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, includes sweaters, T-shirts, tie-back tanks, and more. The adorably titled “I Am Chewie” hoodie costs $60 and is available Monday, June 1 in sizes S to 2XL. While WeLoveFine isn’t the first company to sell a Chewbacca hoodie, it’s probably the most realistic we’ve seen — and it’s also the hairiest.

According to WeLoveFine, the company’s line of Star Wars clothing is “fun, fashionable, and practically bursting with the power of The Force.”

The online clothing store also offers more geeky apparel, like the hooded “I Am Boba Fett” tank ($32) and the Princess Leia dress ($55), which comes with a hood that recreates Carrie Fisher’s famous cinnamon bun hairdo from A New Hope. Images of a Darth Vader-inspired dress also surfaced, and though we had trouble tracking it down at first, we were able to find the dress in all its Vader-fied glory when we dove a bit deeper into the WeLoveFine website.

There’s also a pair of “I Am Chewie Leggings” ($35) in the collection, but you might not want to pair them with the “I Am Chewie” hoodie, as it could be a little too much Wookiee to handle.

If you’d like to shop and compare, IThinkGeek discovered a $70 hoodie that has been available for a while now, allowing you to weigh your options from Wookiee to Wookiee.

Prices for the Star Wars collection range from $30 up, so if you’re looking for some Star Wars apparel that will show off your colors, you’ll want to head on over to WeLoveFine’s website.

The 10 best lightsaber duels in Star Wars, ranked
Luke Skywalker lunges towards Darth Vader during their lightsaber fight on Cloud City.

Star Wars has contributed countless indelible moments and images to our popular culture, but if there’s one artifact that is most intrinsic to the Galaxy Far, Far Away, it’s the fantastical weapon of the Jedi Knights, the lightsaber. From the very first time audiences saw Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader cross glowing, humming swords aboard the Death Star in 1977, we’ve been absolutely obsessed, and storytellers across multiple media and nearly half a century have been only too happy to indulge our craving for increasingly elaborate lightsaber duels.
Lightsaber fights come in all shapes and sizes, from emotional one-on-one bouts in live-action to wild animated free-for-alls, and selecting our 10 favorites from the franchise to date was no easy task. There are a lot of metrics by which to judge — the excitement of the action itself, how it’s shot, the story behind it, the use of environment, even the music to which it’s set — but the cream of the crop are those duels that either dominate one category or harmoniously balance each one. Will your favorites make the list? You’ll find we’re full of surprises …

The 10 best Star Wars action scenes, ranked
Luke Skywalker faces Darth Vade in The Empire Strikes Back.

If there's one thing that Star Wars does better than any other space opera, it's action. Since the debut of the original Star Wars film in 1977, the franchise has continuously upped its action game and put other franchises to shame. This week, the legacy continues with Ahsoka, a new Star Wars spinoff series heading to Disney+. If the trailers are any indication, fans are in for more lightsaber action and intrigue.

When considering the greatest action scenes in Star Wars, we decided that everything in the movies, the live-action series, and the animated series was fair game. However, the franchise's epic space battles have been left out of this list because we wanted to focus on the more visceral action scenes between two or more characters. After all, that is where the greatest drama can be found, as you'll soon see in our roundup of the 10 best Star Wars action scenes.
