Happy Thanksgiving 2012 from the Batcave Toy Room

Just a quick note to wish my fellow toy collectors and followers Happy Thanksgiving from the Batcave Toy Room.

Cal, over at Calvin's Canadian Cave of Cool, recently posted a pic of a wookie coat and it reminded me of a pic I snapped of my super cool, yet non geek, wife wearing a Chewbacca hat. This was from a trip we took to Disneyland a couple of weekends ago. The hat can be found at the gift shop that you enter after exiting Star Tours.

Chewbacca Bento Box

My nephew sent me this pic of Chewbacca made of noodles and had to post it out of blue. Makes me hungry for some Chewie Chow-Mein.

Sunday Funnies: Chewbacca Hairdo

I have seen a really cool photos of a Batman hairdo that was created when the 1966 Batman TV series was ultra popular and I am sure many have sported Princess Leia's cinnamon rolls, but this one takes the take.

Should Star Wars Characters Sing Christmas Songs?

If you think Yoda singing Christmas Carole's is bad, listen to Princess Leia sing the Wookie Life Song.

Happy Halloween From The Batcave Toy Room!

I was interested in finding out that Taylor Swift has a bit of the Geek in her. Here's a pic of her dressed up as Chewbacca one Halloween. I guess all of her other friends were dressing in sexy version of costumes and she wanted to do something different. She loved being able to run around and do crazy things and no one knew it was her.

Here's more proof that Chewbacca was sweeping Leia off her feet.

Princess Leia Sure Did Get Around

Between Han and Luke, Leia sure did make the rounds. I found this pic today proving even Chewbacca was even getting in on the action. OK, Easy Chewie!

Carrie Fisher Sings in the Star Wars Holiday Special

We've looked at the limited singing careers of TVs Dynamic Duo, Adam West and Burt Ward, and I took a look around to see what else I could find.

Here's a listen of Carrie Fisher giving it a shot in the Star Wars Holiday Special. I remember wanting to watch this special when I was kid. I really don't remember much about except Chewbacca family and Stormtoopers trashing Chewie's place.

This scene of Princess Leia signing the tree of life song. I don't remember this scene at all and you probably don't want to remember after you watch. I thought this was cool as a kid, but even George Lucas is embarrassed by this TV special, and never would allow it to be released again.

George really didn't have much to do with the special since he was busy with the Empire Strikes Back.

A couple of things to think about besides Leia's solo when watching this:

1. What's up with Harrison Ford's and Mark Hamill's makeup?

2. Is Chewie have some kind of drug induced trip at the end of this clip?

I really need to go back this entire special. At least for nostalgic reasons.
