“I was so excited when I found out that I got to use John Van Fleet and Daryl Mandryk’s art for our Jaina Solo and Mara Jade shirts,” said Ashley Eckstein, “and I am honored that Del Rey would provide us with free books for our fans. Also, I could not be more proud to offer another Dave Filoni exclusive design. The season 5 finale meant so much to us and we felt compelled to capture the moment on a shirt design. We will be giving away 100 signed portraits taken by Joel Aron with the sale of each shirt.”
Also, Eckstein and Her Universe will be sponsoring and hosting a very special panel at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday, July 20th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in room 24ABC. The panel is entitled , “Her Universe: Geek Girl Fashion – A Discussion Between Fashion Professionals and Fans,” and it will bring together fashion buyers, writers and fans. Audience members will be able to recommend products to the panelists and allow their voices to be heard.
So please, if you attend the panel, be sure to mention more Yoda merchandise. More. Dresses, jewelry, V-neck T-shirts and pajamas. All Yoda. A gal can never have enough Yoda apparel. At least, this gal can’t.
