One of the many fun exclusives I spotted at Star Wars Celebration VI was a R2-D2 bathrobe from Stylin Online. Their lineup also included Boba Fett and Chewbacca. They were hoping reception would be positive enough that they’d be able to add the new Star Wars designs to their regular stock, and it looks like R2-D2 is the first to make the cut. I’d be happy to don this and be Artoo’s rusty innards.

Now you can take R2-D2 along with you on your trips thanks to Salvador Bachiller’s “Robot Trolley”. He’ll even help you out by carrying all of your stuff—all you need to do is roll him along on his polycarbonate wheels. Good luck getting through security dressed like C-3PO (cue the sound of a rubber glove snapping on a hand).
Check out a picture of the interior after the break.
Despite having rusty innards, R2-D2 can actually be quite cozy. These handmade knitted slippers featuring his design certainly look warm and comfortable. These are for ladies 7.5-10, but the seller will take custom orders – just message her!

Think how adorable the little girl in your life would look in this dress! The designer of this dress, Seamingly Prudence, made one for her daughter to wear to Celebration VI and it was such a hit that she’s offering them to everyone. The dresses are made to order and take about three weeks to get to your doorstep.

R2-D2 is this year’s most fashionable accessory. He’s appeared on bathing suits, dresses, shoes, and skirts – and now he has his very own purse. This shoulder bag is roomy, too; you could probably carry an actual astromech in it. It’s 17 1/2″ (L) x 11 1/4″ (H) x 5″ (D), and the design is digitally printed onto the surface. The purse definitely looks sturdy enough to withstand Tatooine weather.
This bag is made to order, and it takes about 2-3 weeks to ship.

The first episode of season five of Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiered at Celebration VI, and that means a red carpet. Several voice actors from the series made appearances, and they were not alone. They were accompanied by some serious cosplayers. I want to note that these cosplayers were not hired by Lucasfilm; they’re fans just like you and me. Okay, maybe they’re a lot more talented at crafting armor than most of us.
In the above picture from left to right you’ll see: Sam Witwer (voice of Darth Maul in the series and the vampire in Being Human among other roles), Ashley Eckstein (voice of Ahsoka Tano and founder of Her Universe), Bo-Katan, and a member of the Mandalorian warrior group, the Death Watch.
The story behind the Bo-Katan costume is especially cool. The character – also a member of the Death Watch – was introduced in the fourth season; she is voiced by Katee Sackhoff. Supervising director Dave Filoni has said that one reason he created her was to give the female cosplayers an awesome set of armor they could create and wear. This is the first Bo-Katan cosplayer, and apparently when Filoni first saw her at Celebration VI, he flipped out. He even brought her on stage during The Clone Wars panel to make sure the crowd saw her costume.
And as a side note, Bo-Katan was featured in the trailer for season five. She kicks ass.

The show exclusives available at Star Wars Celebration are almost enough of a reason to attend the show. Stylin Online – the makers of the Sith, Jedi, and TARDIS bathrobes – revealed some cozy new Star Wars options at the convention. The Chewbacca, Boba Fett, and R2-D2 robes are available just to attendees of CVI for now, but a representative of the company indicated that they could make their way into regular stock if they’re received well at the show.
How much would you pay to look like a sexy Stormtrooper? If the answer was around $600 you’re in luck because Etsy seller ShhhCotureLatex is selling this custom piece for $595.
However, if you want to be even more risque you could order one of their R2-D2 latex bodysuits pictured after the break. You’ll also find a fantastic Wonder Woman outfit (and then there’s latex Mario costume we featured last year).
With two suns, you’ll need twice the sunblock protection.
Grab this tee today for only $10! Better hurry though—the deal ends tomorrow.
