Ha, excellent design! Congrats Nathan, big thumbs up!

Why wouldn't it be? Light sabers would be pretty cumbersome if you had to hold down a button to keep them on.

Wow, I didn't realise this was meant to represent a facebook like button until I read the comments.

Prepare for us non facebook-obsessed people to not understand your tshirt when you wear it. And remain unimpressed when you explain it.

Beat me to the one witty reference that popped into my head! And yes, we could argue the "witty" part.

How fitting, that someone with the account "JediPyro" is the first to woot.

*Had* to get this for my son Luke.

I have to say I'm liking these comments at least as much as the shirt, maybe more!

While it can be argued, as a stretch, that the "8-bitedness" is period correct (for Return of the Jedi, anyway) the anachronism of the "like" icon parody bothers me. I would have preferred it if it were higher resolution (e.g. "meh")..I'll have to think it over.

Congrats Nathan! this is amazing!

In for one, for my son. His name is Luke Skyler after all.

Now I understand why Woot always says, "No Star Wars references" in the derby's. This shirt is L.A.M.E.! In for zero.

I have a 6 year old with the same name. He is also a Star Wars fan. Time to buy!

I kind of Luke this shirt.

No comment on the shirt, but since I don't do Star Wars references [don't whine - I've seen them all and took my bestest girlfriend to the first one when it came out - in Monroeville, PA (Dawn of the Dead - original version)], I get to save money on this so I can buy an extra of one of the Reckoning shirts.

To me, his voice work for the Joker is still the definitive version of Batman's arch nemisis.

I was going to make this point too, though to be honest, he does have a very successful voice acting career but the only person who came out of Star Wars with a successful movie career is Harrison Ford. That sort of thing isn't so unusual though really, just look at how many Star Trek people appeared in anything significant after their Trek show ended.

Was really expecting a pirate shirt for today...

not that this isn't cool... but Arrr!

Totally agree. This design is completely overrated

I'm in the same boat. My 9-yr-old Luke would love this. I'm just thinking... more laundry. And the Facebook reference. Do I really want my son wearing that?

I'm saying yeah, because he'd love it. What's to think about?

I felt compelled to "Like" this.

Great for keeping chest hair trimmed!

lukenm wrote:Awesome shirt! Wooted because my name is Luke and people often call me Skywalker...seriously.

Right there with you. People make the joke "Luuuuuuke, I am your father..." and then ask if I get that a lot.

I just tell them every single person... I've ever met... in my entire life. So yes? I think that's a lot.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Lukes left hand cut off. And yes I realize this is a stupid facebook reference.

Isn't the hand on the shirt design a left hand? Or was that your point?

Just bought this for my son's birthday coming up...Yes his name is Luke and I've always loved telling him: "Luke, I am your father."

Perfect timing for this time for me.

Oh, this shirt is fantastic. I wanted to share it with my friends Owen and Beru, but they haven't updated their status or responded to their messages in a while.

Haha! So great. There was probably a lot of luking and disluking as it tumbled down the shaft at the end of ESB

Genius!
Great work man, you are killing it this year!

Tasty Time with ZeFronk did earn a nomination for a Daytime Emmy this year, so maybe not all downhill

It was definitely his right hand

Every tee artist has one good Like parody in them.

This is a particularly cool one. Congrats Nathan! ^__^

No, the design on the shirt is certainly a right hand. And it was certainly Luke's right hand that was dismembered in Empire Strikes Back:

I had to get this shirt even though it's a right hand and should have a black glove on it. I guess it could be an ESB pre-severed hand, but then the sleeve should be khaki. Wait, is it supposed to be his severed hand? Damn you 8bit graphics, I can't tell! When I ordered it I could have sworn it was a ROTJ hand. Arrgh, but then the lightsaber would be green.

Can I get a "disluke" design for the back of my shirt? ; )

This makes me wonder if facebook will be around in 20 years and people will find this shirt and get the reference.

The dislike would be the severed hand?

i love this.

OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG can i get this on a shirt?!

Thanks, Pixelpants, David, Keith, Matt, all! Very kind words.

Karga, my original intent was to bring balance to the design, between light parody humor and the dark side of, you know, special effects violence (it is indeed meant to be from ESB)

The final product can be enjoyed by folks of any age, but especially people named Luke!
