Luke: Avoid the Sand Trap

Posted by Michael Pinto on Mar 31, 2008 in Star Wars |

Not to get snarky about it but I feel like Star Wars has been sort of run into the ground by Lucas, so it’s somewhat fitting that this latest bit of official merchandise deals with balls hitting the dirt:

Tee Off With Star Wars Golf Gear from Japan

“Sculpted art or sporting good? We’ll let you decide which best describes Bridgestone Sports’ new pair of Star Wars golf bags, each highly stylized in the guise of Darth Vader or a stormtrooper. These amazing golf bags from Japan will soon be available for a suggested retail price of 50,000 JPY, or about $500. Also down range are three golf club covers sporting Vader, stormtrooper, and TIE fighter designs, as well as Star Wars-themed ball markers.”

…for that amount of money the least they could have done would be to include golf balls decorated to look like the Death Star.
