Bridgestone sports enters the chaotic battlefield known as Star Wars merchandising, and I’ll be honest….These are the coolest odd things you’d never expect to see Star Wars on. I don’t even golf, nor do I care to learn, but one of these beauties would be an AWESOME rifle bag.
The company chose wisely and (thus far) only produced two different models of the Star Wars golf bags. Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper. Personally, I like the trooper model better, but not for any reason founded on bias. I think the motif of the iconic trooper bucket has been creatively incorporated into the overall design, whereas the Vader model….Well, it looks like they tossed on a picture of the Boss and slapped some random elements of his image all over the place.
These buggers go for $500 a piece, but from what I’ve been told about Golf equipment, that’s actually quite reasonable, considering the collector value added to the overall top notch construction.
You can see both bags HERE, on the official Star Wars website.

Very cool looking. Now if it also played the Imperial March ala Caddyshack that would be awesome.
