Lucas store sells Star Wars stuff in Home

By Oli Welsh Published 18 February, 2010

Costumes, T-shirts, lightsabers.

LucasArts is to open a store in PlayStation Home's mall, selling costumes and trinkets relating to the worlds of Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Kotaku has pics: there are Storm Trooper outfits, Indiana Jones outfits, an Imperial officer's uniform, lightsabers and T-shirts. Apparently you'll also be able to buy accessories for your personal space.

We're not entirely sure if the LucasArts store is coming to the European version Home, since it's mentioned in the US PlayStation Blog post on future Home updates but not in the European blog's equivalent.

There are other updates definitely coming to both sides of the Altantic, mind, including the MotorStorm Carrier, a social space on a decommissioned aircraft carrier, and rather lovely personal and game spaces devoted to LocoRoco.

    Yay virtual accessories to fill my empty life with!

  • booner #3 2 years ago

    Was anyone else remotely excited and mislead by this article title? I thought he was selling off physical props from his house :(

  • el_pollo_diablo #4 2 years ago

    Great! I can't wait to spend my hard earned money on shitty virtual promotional items that should be free anyway. For christ's sake.

  • thewool #5 2 years ago

    why people pay for this shite is beyond me. maybe it's because I'm an ageing gamer who is becoming tighter and tighter with every gen.

    >>>> tries to think how much he paid for that jap version of SFII for my Super Famicom back in the day...

    @booner

    Is that the kind of thing Eurogamer usually report?

    *looks at Leona Lewis article*

    ...nevermind.

    And the rich keep on getting richer!

  • Redeye #8 2 years ago

    Oh, piss off, Lucas, and take your tedious old tat with you.

    To think, I really loved Star Wars once...but then 1997 turned up and crapped on the whole parade. :(

  • Eldritch #9 2 years ago

    The only way to improve the Home Mall is to get rid of it. Or make it more GTA-esque, so you can gun down and knife people and mug them.

  • el_pollo_diablo #10 2 years ago

    You're right. The Home mall could have it's own 'no hoodies' policy and everything.

  • Kapo! #11 2 years ago

    Regarding the 'no hoodies' policy, would we allow the Hijab?

  • el_pollo_diablo #12 2 years ago

    Yes, but only if it was an official Star Wars hijab.

    @skumedal: It's good that you have accepted that.

    @Redeye: You didn't like the Special Editions?

    @ShinMegami08

    I hear you brother...

    I still love my gaming so have to be extremely selective these days.

    I've been playing the superb Fallout 3 since November last year and have manged to clock up 49 hours so far. Which considering I have a full time job, a wife and a 17 month old daughter - and I play my games on the family plasma - I think I'm doing ok.

    @varsas: Bloody awful, all three of them. Yay for digital remastering and making the movies look like new, colossal FAIL for CG that looked nothing like the original FX, Greedo shooting first, pointless Jabba scenes that looked like warmed-up crap (including the 'musical number' from Jedi), etc ad nauseum.

  • aphexstwin #19 2 years ago

    i despair of anyone spending money on nothing. for both home and the microdollar 'miis'

  • Murton #20 2 years ago

    The special editions did a great job of making the films look shiny and new, but Greedo shooting first, Han stepping on Jabba's "tail" Luke screaming like a bitch at Bespin, the music on Jedi, all of these things were totally unnecessary. For me though it's a score draw, no harm no foul. The prequels on the other hand, though I'll never ever watch them I'll never forgive their creation and the damage they've done to the rest of the franchise.

    As for stuff in HOME, I've always wanted a load of Star Wars stuff like Storm Armour in real life but will likely never be able to afford them, but I might be persuaded to get some of them in HOME if the price is right.

  • Sunyavadin #21 2 years ago

    Can the PS3 owners here shed some light for us 360 users - Is this cheap tat equally overpriced for PS3 Home users as its XBox Live avatar equivalents?

    @Sunyavadin sorry man cant help ya i left home some time ago, got sick of pointing at people while calling them a pedo lol ahhh theres no place like Home

  • aphexstwin #23 2 years ago

    59p upwards for clothing, 79p+ for furniture, £3.99 for apartments. there is free stuff in the mall, and games throughout the spaces to win stuff. but the mall itself is just storefronts to psn store webpages, and half of the mall is lying dormant. which makes it look like my home town, stockton-on-tees.

  • Murton #24 2 years ago

    "half of the mall is lying dormant. which makes it look like my home town, stockton-on-tees."

    Used to live in the Boro and work in Stockton myself so I know exactly what you mean.

    To answer the question of "are Home items like Avatar items?" yeah pretty much, prices are more reasonable in my opinion and there's a hell of a lot of stuff that's actually free, but you're not really getting much for your money. People use the little left over bits in the PSN wallet to buy the odd thing justifying it as "it's only 60 pence" but drop that 60 pence a few times and you could have had something decent like Trine or Borderlands DLC.

    The key thing about Home though is the amount of great content that's free. There's a load of free clothing items in the store and a few reward items that can be earned through playing the free minigames too, and they're not bad games either, all that's really needed is some more functionality, such as game launching forming multiplayer parties, perhaps the ability for your party to game launch into an online lobby too.

    so my avatar will be sorted for tanning salons and charity shops then? If I wait a few months the Star Wars gear will find it's way there - bonus :0)
