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.

George Lucas abandoned a Star Wars twist that would have changed Obi-Wan’s story
Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor stand back to back in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Few Star Wars characters have a story as well-known or important as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The character, first introduced as an older Jedi in 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope, is both a noteworthy mentor to Luke and Anakin Skywalker and a tragic figure due to the dissolution of his friendship with the latter. Thanks to Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness' dual, decades-spanning performances as the character, Obi-Wan's story has been brought to life in almost its entirety over the years, too.

However, it turns out that Star Wars creator George Lucas originally had a very different idea for Obi-Wan Kenobi's story. In an interview with StarWars.com, Iain McCaig, who worked as a behind-the-scenes artist on Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace, revealed that Lucas originally intended to swap the names of Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn in that film. "It’s interesting how things evolve,” McCaig commented. “For a time, the older Jedi was named Obi-Wan and the younger Jedi was named Qui-Gon."

Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley reveals why she finds her return as Rey ‘scary’
Daisy Ridley as Rey in The Rise of Skywalker.

Last year, Lucasfilm announced a handful of promising new film projects set within the Star Wars universe, including one that will follow Rey (Daisy Ridley) as she attempts to rebuild the Jedi Order following the events of 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy subsequently confirmed in an interview with IGN that the film will take place 15 years after the conclusion of Star Wars' Sequel Trilogy and will find the Jedi "in disarray" and Rey trying to rebuild the Order "based on the books, based on what she promised Luke (Mark Hamill)."

Since then, progress on the project has been slow. Its original writers, Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson, departed the project in March 2023, and their replacement, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, reportedly parted ways with the film recently as well. For her part, Daisy Ridley has remained fairly tight-lipped about the project and its status. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, though, she did open up about actually preparing to reprise her life-changing Star Wars role.
