I’m the biggest original Star Wars trilogy fan you’ll meet (well the biggest one that raps for a living). The fact that I even had to distinguish between the old ones and the new ones in my opening sentence tells you I take it seriously. Things I can not take seriously are these new collaborations between Lucasfilm and any clothing company with enough paper to license his empire. Possibly on a real subconcious level, some of what’s fueling my contempt for these designs is that they’re marketed towards “hip-hop.” Fitted caps and sneakers. Tracksuits. I can’t get over it, and maybe that’s the underlying reason because I almost sold Logan to get Xavier the Star Wars Pottery Barn bedroom set…and he doesn’t know Tatooine’s Luke Skywalker from Miami’s Luke Skywalker. Pottery Barn ain’t hip-hop. The latest culprits certainly are or at least pretend to be (Marc Ecko, Adidas, New Era). Hmmm below, witness some truly awful clothing. I will say this, contrary to the point of the post, the last image here captures some really outstanding kicks, and I want them.

HANDS DOWN THE MOST RIDICULOUS ITEM I HAVE EVER SEEN

OK, SCRATCH THAT. THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS.

MAYBE FOR A SCARECROW BUT THAT'S IT

ALMOST PASSES AS A REGULAR JACKET, IF YOU IGNORE THE PLASTIC BLAST SHIELD SEWN INTO THE HOOD

KNOCK IT OFF

There’s always an exception though, so I will say this…I’d slaughter a tribe of Jawas for these…these were done well:

A+++ I'D OPEN A TAUN-TAUN FOR THESE (NO BEASTO)
