The boxers come in three various Darth Vader styles in honor of Revenge of the Sith with sayings such as "Sith Happens" and "I have mad skills with a lightsaber" printed on the front or back. There are also four different Original Trilogy designs including "Father and Son" featuring the epic duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader on the front, and the Star Wars logo in the back; "The Dark Side" with Vader's profile on the front and "Dark Side" text on the back; "A New Hope" with images from the vintage Style "A" poster on the front and the Death Star and opening crawl text on the back; and "Episode IV" with the vintage Style "C" poster on front.
"Our boxers are fun," AME Executive VP Elliott Azrak says. "We feel our approach to the artwork is innovative and humorous, while at the same time respecting what's at the core of this modern classic -- recognizable characters from a mainstream brand known worldwide."
Azrak thinks the boxers will appeal to the fans for a number of reasons, the main being that Star Wars has always had a fun style of its own. "Classics are always in fashion!" Azrak says. "Star Wars has proven to have staying power. These epic movies have been embraced by two generations."
Fans can find the boxer shorts the participating retailers Fred Meyer, Hot Topic, Target, Wal-Mart and Mervyns.
