My buddy, John Strangeway, is rather well-known in the geek community — especially at ‘Star Wars’ and steampunk conventions all over the country — as “Steampunk Boba Fett.”

(Here he is, in costume.)

He even has his own Facebook page with over 22,000 Likes.

And now, he is immortalized on a t-shirt entitled “Steampunk Boba Flight”!

Strangeway may not be getting any royalties, but his image DOES have the George Lucas Seal of Approval.

About the shirt’s artwork, he told me: “That is a commission piece I had Brian Kesinger do for me. He went and got it approved by Lucas, so he can sell it as a shirt, so, it’s blessed and has the ‘Star Wars’ tag on it…It was a really awesome surprise when he told me it got the Lucas approval.”
