All Things Star Wars


If you are into Star Wars, then you NEED to check out this store, Sucher and Sons Star Wars Shop (while you're in town stop by and say "hi", it's only a couple minutes from our place). Everything is 1/2 off all summer.


You can hardly walk around without knocking over an Ewok Village or tripping over a life size manikin of Princess Leah in her slave bikini.


Don Sucher is the owner. Don started the store a long time ago, in a galaxy...erp, with his sons as a fun summer project. They had so much fun, they kept the store open during school. His boys would run the store after school. They eventually had to move to a bigger location. You can hear all about it from Don, himself, if you come to the store :)

Don has a tattoo of Bikini Princess Leah on his left upper arm ( I will get a picture next time I'm in the store). Just a couple months ago he had Carrie Fisher sign his arm under the tattoo. He spent the next few hours trying to find a tattoo artist to tattoo over her signature. Pretty nifty story to go along with his tattoo. He said she was very down-to-earth and friendly.


I didn't notice Han Solo in carbonite right by the front door the first time we went to the store. Almost stepped on him!


This is the world's coolest pop-up book! I had to buy it. You can't really tell from the picture, but Darth's and Luke's light sabers light up. NEATO!
