NEW YORK, NY – May 1st, 2013 – Star Wars fans already know that the Force is everywhere but on May 4th the stars align for those who live and breathe every moment of the Star Wars saga. This day is a special opportunity to celebrate all things in that “galaxy far, far away” and, of course, to say, “May the 4th Be With You!” For the second year in a row, clothing retailer, Hot Topic, is celebrating with Star Wars fans by teaming up with Her Universe™, the leading sci-fi merchandise line for fangirls, by offering new Hot Topic-exclusive Star Wars dresses and fashion tops created by actress and entrepreneur Ashley Eckstein, voice of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The successful Star Wars By Her Universe line will debut six new exclusive fashion pieces on Hottopic.com on May 4th. Beginning at 1am PST on May 4th, the first 500 customers who purchase a Star Wars by Her Universe item online at Hottopic.com will receive a FREE Star Wars by Her Universe cinch sack featuring a special logo designed by Lucasfilm exclusively for female fans. In addition, all day on May 4th Hottopic.com and Starwars.com (the official Star Wars website), and their social media sites, will be celebrating this special fan holiday with fan-themed content and giveaways.
“I am thrilled to be working with Hot Topic again to celebrate May the 4th Be With You,” said Ashley Eckstein. “I am also excited to debut a new design with one of our favorite guest designers, Denise Vasquez. Denise brought her unique ‘Day of the Dead’ inspired style to a new design featuring Boba Fett.”
Close to half of all Star Wars fans are female, which is why Hot Topic and Her Universe will have a number of new tops and, for the first time, Star Wars by Her Universe dresses. The new Hot Topic-exclusive apparel line features popular villains Boba Fett and Darth Vader to fan favorite Rebels Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
In celebration of “May the 4th Be with You,” Her Universe will also be offering 20% off of all current Star Wars apparel on www.HerUniverse.com on May 4th (Hot Topic product only available on Hottopic.com). In addition, while visiting the Her Universe website, fans can also view the past and present honoree’s for “fangirl of the day” – part of a very special year-long campaign, the “Year of the Fangirl,” which spotlights and recognizes fangirls of all ages showing their diversity, dreams and interests.
