Welcome to Star Wars Thursday – an unofficial weekly celebration of everything fun, quirky, and sometimes downright outrageous related to Star Wars. It all started with a few funny posts between friends. We shared videos, mash-ups, pictures, and products. Each week we try to top one another with our Star Wars finds. This week, you can join in the fun.
So, what’s better than just finding and buying Star Wars merchandise? Making your own, of course! Bonnie Burton, a writer and editor at StarWars.com, published a book called The Star Wars Craft Book in March. Inside, you can learn how to make an Ewok flower vase, R2D2 beanie, Jabba the Hutt body pillow, and more.
Wait – did I say Jabba body pillow? You bet! In fact, one fan created a video showing the process of making her masterpiece. I’m not super crafty myself, but this book just made it onto my “must have” summer list.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I believe no Jabba body pillow would be complete without a slave Leia costume. Not in the mood to wear a metal bikini? No problem! You don’t need to be Carrie Fisher to rock this outfit.
What will we share next Star Wars Thursday? Be sure to check back to see!
