Not too long ago, I got a custom raglan style Anakin shirt from Zazzle/ShopStarWars.com. As I hoped, they now have a zillion images to select from all 6 movies and the Clone Wars cartoons. You can get Leia shirts. You can get Padmé shirts (!!). You can get shirtless cartoon Anakin shirts (!!!!). Lucas Licensing has made this t-shirt junkie very happy, if not very broke. And best of all, I can now put my (real) name on shirts! Somebody finally figured out there are more people with my name than "Mary Helen."
But now for the bad news. Remember when I mentioned before that you can put phrases on your shirt as well? I had "Chosen One" put on my Anakin shirt. Well, if you go to the Anakin section and click on the phrases button, all of the cool and respectful things like "Chosen One" and "Warrior of the Infinite" are gone. Instead are a bunch of things that seem to be written by some Ani-hater: "Nobody Likes A Whiner" "Future Ex-Boyfriend" "Drama Queen" "I Heart Mullets" or worst of all "Regular or Extra Crispy." WTF? Is this how to treat the main hero of the saga?! Obi-Wan fans can choose to have "40 Year Old Virgin" on their t-shirts. I am not kidding.
I have a sense of humor about SW but this is ridiculous. I'm going to drop a line to ShopStarWars.com's customer service. Another problem is that they have a Padmé image in the Leia section (eyeroll). For now, I think I'll get a Leia shirt and a Padmé one. At least the phrases aren't "PMS-ing" or "I Love Stalkers!"
