Aren’t You a Little Farsighted for a Stormtrooper?
Aren’t You a Little Farsighted for a Stormtrooper?
I don’t know how these compare to yesterday’s Star Wars Angry Birds announcement, but eyewear maker Gizmine has just announced five different Star Wars-inspired glasses frames. They come in Stormtrooper (above), as well as Darth Vader, Boba Fett, R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker (all after the jump). The Luke Skywalker one is pretty weird, but I actually think the Stormtrooper and Vader styles are pretty sharp; I’d happily wear them… if they weren’t $500 each. If you have that kind of money to blow on licensed eyewear, you can order them here. And then email me, because we need to find a more constructive use for your money. (Via iGeektrroper)

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
