The Ewoks logo is planned for a Ladies cut t-shirt and a kids t-shirt. Personally I must say that I think the artwork for CEII is a lot more interesting than it was for CVI. Might have something to do with me being a medievalist, liking sports, liking beer. I am a bit disappointed that most apparel will only be unisex t-shirts, and lets be hones unisex in this case is just another name for "men's cut". On the other hand I can definitely imagine myself picking up a few of the small things, like patches and pins. My one favorite thing is the McQuarrie print, it's absolutely stunning.
I'm not a German, but from the little I know Lederhosen are not worn that much in NRW, being more of a Bavarian thing...
Love the Nodal Ode's & Vaderhosen designs so will pick those up and I like the sound of Star Wars bar ware for my kitchen. Just hope we get some limited edition action figures similar to the Boba Fett/Han Carbonite Black series release for San Diego Comic con.
I don't care about figures any more, I'm hoping to pick up one or two pieces of art. Barware would be fun and useful though, so maybe some of those things.
The McQuarrie print is good, and the Football Logos are fun. I bought a T-Shirt in Medium at the first CE and it was too small, but I normally don't wear Large so I would still worry that is too big.
I have too many SW-shirts that I never use. I've stopped buying event specific t-shirts, if I buy one I want it to look so good that I can wear it outside of conventions. The SW apparel that I use is mostly from Her Universe, and I go to work in them, so I'm hoping that there will be a Her Universe stall in the vendors' area.
