“Join the Empire! Support The Revolution!” 1984 meets Star Wars. I guess Orwell was right after all, with “Doublethink,” the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct. Here we see the hand of Palpatine who is the culmination of a thousand year plan to overthrow the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order from within and set himself up as the first evil Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

Lee, our warehouse manager whip, gets all confused with this shirt and says stuff like, “Waitaminute… weren’t… but… Luke is a rebel and… Stormtroopers… oww my head hurts, make it stop Brady!” We just tell her to, “go ask C-3PO, he’ll explain it to you.”
