New Her Universe line debuts at Disney’s Star Wars Weekends 2012

It’s a good time to be a fangirl of the Star Wars saga as Her Universe, the female sci-fi line of fashionable apparel and accessories, is debuting its new spring and summer line at Star Wars Weekends 2012 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Created by actress Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the current seasonal offering from Her Universe includes a racer back tank top and fashion tops featuring characters like Princess Leia, R2-D2 and Darth Vader. Her Universe’s new line will also include a unique Princess Leia zip-hoodie and a fun Ahsoka Tano youth tunic. To accentuate the new Star Wars apparel, Eckstein and Her Universe are offering two new charms – a Boba Fett design and a Japor Snippet replica, the good luck charm given as a gift to Padme from a young Anakin Skywalker. Most of these are pictured below.

Several new apparel pieces are also being introduced for the younger “Jedi-in-training” including several Star Wars youth designs and, for the first time, a Jedi onesie for the tiniest followers of the Force featuring the adorable art of popular Star Wars illustrator Katie Cook.

In addition to the new product line being available at Disney’s Star Wars Weekends, Eckstein will also, for the fourth year in a row, be co-hosting the Behind The Force live stage show and signing autographs each weekend of the event.

“Disney’s Star Wars Weekends is one of my favorite events of the year,” said Ashley. “I truly enjoy meeting Star Wars fans of all ages and that’s why I am so excited to be offering merchandise for women, girls and now babies. As the voice of Ahsoka Tano, I cannot wait to see baby girls in an Ahsoka “Jedi in Training” onesie or little girls running around in Ahsoka’s new costume top!”
