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 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.

The best female Star Wars characters, ranked
Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian.

Although it's gotten better in recent years, the world of Star Wars has been traditionally dominated by men. Men have, for the most part, been the main characters of these stories, and, stereotypically at least, been the biggest fans of the franchise. All along, though, Star Wars has had compelling female characters that were well worth rooting for or vilifying.

While the full list of important female Star Wars characters is quite long, we've narrowed this list down to the nine who are the most pivotal in franchise history and ranked them.

These days, Star Wars is just getting more and more projects. While the franchise continues to expand with shows on Disney+, there hasn't been a new movie made since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. Given that Disney spent a while figuring out what it wanted to do with the iconic sci-fi property, many films had been announced, only for most of them to get blasted off the company calendar.

But with three new films confirmed to be on the horizon, now is the time to catch up on all the Star Wars films that never came to be.
