[Intro music]
-
Not Synced
Get ready, BD.
-
Not Synced
Whether you are buying a christmas present
-
Not Synced
for yourself,
-
Not Synced
or your fellow Star Wars fans,
-
Not Synced
this is the video for you.
-
Not Synced
Today we're going to be breaking down
-
Not Synced
excellent gifts for your fellow Star Wars
-
Not Synced
people in your life.
-
Not Synced
Star Wars always kinda has this magical
-
Not Synced
vibe around Christmas-time,
-
Not Synced
and I think it's because we used to
-
Not Synced
get movies in December,
-
Not Synced
and stuff like that.
-
Not Synced
But I think it's deeper than that.
-
Not Synced
Because, Star Wars themes relate really
-
Not Synced
closely with Christmas themes, I feel.
-
Not Synced
And so the two just pair nicely together,
-
Not Synced
which makes Star Wars things
-
Not Synced
excellent gifts.
-
Not Synced
And also, I don't think there is a brand
-
Not Synced
that nails capitalism and merchandising
-
Not Synced
quite as well as Star Wars.
-
Not Synced
[Vine boom]
-
Not Synced
I mean, we remember when, when Grogu
-
Not Synced
became a thing.
-
Not Synced
He was on
-
Not Synced
Literally.
-
Not Synced
Everything.
-
Not Synced
[VINE BOOM]
-
Not Synced
And the kind of gifts that I want to
-
Not Synced
touch on today,
-
Not Synced
they're not gonna be, like,
-
Not Synced
their standard things.
-
Not Synced
Like, yeah, we'll talk about lightsabers,
-
Not Synced
we'll talk about helmets,
-
Not Synced
'cause that's a huge part of
-
Not Synced
Star Wars Merchandise.
-
Not Synced
But I really wanna dive into the
-
Not Synced
smaller, more unique gifts,
-
Not Synced
That you can give someone,
-
Not Synced
that might a little bit more memorable,
-
Not Synced
or stand out to them a little bit more.
-
Not Synced
The first thing on this list,
-
Not Synced
is shopping from small shops.
-
Not Synced
Some of my coolest Star Wars things ever,
-
Not Synced
are from independent, third-party shops.
-
Not Synced
Like, not officially connected
-
Not Synced
to Star Wars.
-
Not Synced
For example,
-
Not Synced
one of my favourite Star Wars shirts,
-
Not Synced
is this kind of tattoo style
-
Not Synced
Jedi: Fallen Order shirt
-
Not Synced
that I got from Imperial Merch Co.
-
Not Synced
This is not officially branded Star Wars
-
Not Synced
merch.
-
Not Synced
But, it's really cool,
-
Not Synced
and I don't think
-
Not Synced
you'll find anything like it
-
Not Synced
anywhere else.
-
Not Synced
Other good small shop clothing brads
-
Not Synced
are going to be
-
Not Synced
Only Hope Supply,
-
Not Synced
uh, Vintage Point, even though he makes
-
Not Synced
mostly Marvel stuff, his Star Wars
-
Not Synced
stuff is pretty cool as well.
-
Not Synced
On top of that, you're supporting small
-
Not Synced
individual creators,
-
Not Synced
so your money's going to something that
-
Not Synced
I think is gonna matter a little bit more.
-
Not Synced
Little things like, a BD-1 hat, you know.
-
Not Synced
I got this from Hans Pins on Etsy,
-
Not Synced
and it's just a really cool
-
Not Synced
little hat, man.
-
Not Synced
It's got a little BD-1 and a
-
Not Synced
little question mark, because he
-
Not Synced
likes to ask questions.
-
Not Synced
But, my point being, with the small shops,
-
Not Synced
is that it's stuff you're not going to
-
Not Synced
find in major department stores.
-
Not Synced
It's stuff that's unique, and people will
-
Not Synced
come up to them and be like,
-
Not Synced
'hey, where'd you get that from?'
-
Not Synced
And, it just kinda has a little bit more
-
Not Synced
of a story to it.
-
Not Synced
And you're supporting an
-
Not Synced
individual creator.
-
Not Synced
Which is just way better.
-
Not Synced
Continuing on the small shops thread,
-
Not Synced
uh, all these props that you see around me
-
Not Synced
like this BD-1 right here.
-
Not Synced
This guy.
-
Not Synced
This little cutie
-
Not Synced
[smooch] [awww]
-
Not Synced
This pink poncho back here,
-
Not Synced
it's all from my good buddy Nick,
-
Not Synced
at CGS Props,
-
Not Synced
and he is just one of many prop-makers,
-
Not Synced
and little Star Wars knick-knack creators.
