Spotlight: Larson Jewelers' Star Wars Rings

0 comments

By: Dominic Jones

We can all agree that there has never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan.  With new movies Star Wars rings coming out yearly, there are lots reasons and occasions to display your fandom loud and proud.  The team at Larson Jewelers are doing just that with their line of Star Wars rings, perfect for fans who want to do the same.  Their collection features plenty of variety, from subtle references to rings featuring big iconic characters and logos.  Some highlights from their collection include their awesome "Battle of Hoth" ring, rings featuring the Rebel Alliance logo and Mandolorian logo, and a spinner ring with the ten words that make any Star Wars fans heart flutter.  Not to mention, the Holidays are just around the corned and a Star Wars ring would make for a unique gift for the Star Wars fans in your life!

'The Battle of Hoth' Ring
One of the newer pieces from Larson Jewlers, this tungsten ring depicts the epic battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire from the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back.  The ring features rebel snow speeders, as well as the Echo Base ion cannon, on one half and AT-ATs, AT-STs, and snow troopers on the other (see the complete image below).  In addition, the snowy mountains of Hoth are represented in the background, offering more detail to an already impressive (most impressive) piece.  What's really unique about this ring, however, is it manages to be both subtle and incredibly detailed.  On first glance you may not notice that this ring is Star Wars making it perfect if you want to sneak a little Star Wars into a non-Star Wars event, however when you look at it closely it contains enough detail to impress any Star Wars fan.  Order yours here.

The Rebel Alliance ring
If the subtlety of the 'Hoth' ring isn't your speed, the Rebel Alliance logo ring may be for you.  There's no hiding your fandom with this ring (not that you ever should), the bright orange song bird insignia used by the Rebel Alliance in the original trilogy is front and center on this ring.  The rebel logo represents multiple generations of fans, as the rebel logo was first introduced back in the original trilogy, but is still seen today in the sequel trilogy (the symbol has been picked up by the Resistance) and with a variant of the classic logo seen on Star Wars Rebels.  This means this ring will never go out of style.  The ring is big and flashy, perfect for swearing your allegiance to the Rebel Alliance, and for displaying you fandom loud and proud with a symbol fans everywhere will recognize.   Order yours here.


The Mandalorian ring
When it comes to secondary characters with their own massive fan following, you don't get any bigger and better than Boba Fett.  Fett's brief appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, and subsequently in Return of the Jedi launched as massive fan base of people intrigued by the bounty hunter.  This lead to his backstory being told in Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars, as well as countless action figures, collectibles, and, now, rings!  This ring is perfect for Boba Fett fanboys and fangirls, with six of his iconic Mythosaur skull logos covering the ring.  This ring is truly for the fans, with something iconic enough for Star Wars fans to recognize, but subtle enough it work in any situation.  Order yours here.

A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away spinner ring
Admit it, just seeing the words "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away....", gets you a little excited!  And we all can't wait to see those words up on the big screen again very soon.  This ring features those iconic words wrapped around it's exterior.  The ring is a spinner ring, meaning you can spin the center of the ring, allowing the iconic words to be in completion at any time.  The spinner is a nice a feature, that makes this ring stand out.  Like the "Mandalorian" ring, this ring is subtle, however unlike the "Mandalorian ring" the iconic nature of the words on the ring make it so that everyone can appreciate it, no matter their level of interest in the films.  The words "A long time a go in a galaxy far, far away" carry great meaning for Star Wars fans everywhere, so to be able to always see them on your finger will bring a smile to your face every time.   Order yours here.

Daisy Ridley Featured on the Cover of Elle Magazine

2 comments
By: Dominic Jones

With just 37 days until the release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, there is no denying Star Wars is back in he public eye like never before.  The latest magazine to feature a star of the new film is Elle Magazine, which features a cover story on Rey actress Daisy Ridley (above) in their next issue, a brief excerpt of which can be found on their website.  

While Ridley couldn't say much about the film, she did share an interesting story from the set in Abu Dhabi, telling Elle,
"We were told about this scorpion in Abu Dhabi that, if it stabbed you, you needed treatment within half an hour. There was this bit where I was lying in the sand, and if a scorpion got me, the nearest hospital was an hour away. So I was like, I could die right now. I could be dead in half an hour."

She also explained why Rey is a different sort of heroine, saying,
"[Rey is] so strong. She's cool and smart and she can look after herself. Young girls can look at her and know that they can wear trousers if they want to.  That they don't have to show off their bodies."

Behind the Scenes Details on Rey's Look in 'The Force Awakens'

2 comments
By: Dominic Jones

With just 38 days left until Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens we're getting more looks behind the scenes at the upcoming movie.  Jenna Rosentine over at Allure Magazine got a special look behind the scenes look at what makeup went into creating Rey's look in The Force Awakens.  

Amanda Knight, the film's makeup-department head, describes how we meet Rey, saying,
"When we find Rey, she's covered in grease and dirt. She's been living alone for a long time.  She's dirty because she was scavenging parts from spaceships, so she had to really look like she's hard-core and gets into fights. This girl kicks ass."

As for the makeup, Allure describes it as minimal.  Rosentine writes,
Ridley's eyes were smoked out just a little bit ("J. J. [Abrams, the film's director] didn't want too much," says Knight) with a dark-brown liner from Bobbi Brown that she smudged and smudged. She applied a taupe shadow just in the crease, then coated her lashes with Kanebo Sensai 38C mascara, an intense formula that locks onto lashes until it's removed with superhot water (hence the name, or about 100 degrees Fahrenheit). "We didn't want her looking like she had full mascara on. The Kanebo mascara has a tiny little brush; it worked well and didn't smudge. We put it at the root and didn't brush it all the way through," she says.

As for Rey's hairstyle, hair designer Lisa Tomblin, told Allure, "I tried to think of a style that was cool, practical, and different—and not so fussy...it's a nod to Princess Leia."  She also explained that each knot, is held together by a piece of brown wool. "It's rustic, like something she'd find in the desert."

For more details on the makeup used to create Rey's look, as well as what sun protection was needed on the Jakku set in Abu Dhabi, head over to Allure to read the article.

New 'The Force Awakens' Shirt Found At Walmart

5 comments

By Chris Seekell

Our friend Kaeli Cheyenne from The Geek Breakdown was fortunate enough to spot a piece of merchandise from Star Wars: The Force Awakens at her local Walmart. Check out this awesome BB-8 t-shirt that most likely was accidentally put on shelves before Force Friday.


While shopping at Walmart today I stumbled upon an incredible accident; an Episode VII shirt. The racks were stocked with amazing products, and a large quantity of these BB8 themed beauties. When I went to ring it up, the register stated that it was not allowed to be sold, however the cashier allowed me to purchase it, regardless.

Definitely keep a look out for more The Force Awakens merch hitting the shelves early before the September 4th official street date!
