New Star Wars Pins benefiting Variety the Children's Charity

At Star Wars Kidscast we love when Star Wars can be used to help raise awareness or funds for charities, but this one is really close to home.

This video is a collision of my worlds, one as a Star Wars lover the other as a parent to a child with special needs. The programs she benefits from have certainly been helped by Variety and so on a very personal level - as a grateful Dad more than as a Star Wars fan - I ask you to purchase one of these very cool Darth Vader or Yoda gold pins that help support Variety The Children's Charity.

Star Wars Fan Bullied for her "Boy" Shoes

This little girl rocks! She loves Star Wars and isn't ashamed to wear it head to toe!

Thankfully she's not going to let other kids tell her what she should & shouldn't wear! By the way, Star Wars shoes are pretty cool. I wish they came in adult sizes!

Her Universe: Wonderful Star Wars clothing items for girls (and women)!

Wow this is cute! I think my daughter would look so adorable in this. Seems odd to me I have to look in the "Boys" section of stores to get her a cool Star Wars shirt. Check out all the wonderful kids' Star Wars clothing items specifically for girls at HerUniverse.com

Star Wars Underoos Commercial. Yep, a kids' underwear ad from TV!

I'm pretty sure there hasn't been Star Wars underwear for kids advertised on TV for a while. This was for some reason fairly normal when I was a kid. I had Spider-Man Underoos though. I remember by grade 6 Underoos were seen as "little kid" items and NOT cool.

Anyway, enjoy a blast from the past...remember though, Underoos are for earthlings only!
