Spotted Online – Charles Lippincott Shares an Unmade Star Wars T-Shirt

It’s exactly items like this that makes it so fun to follow Charles Lippincott’s Facebook posts. Charles describes this as “a T-shirt sample which, after the release of STAR WARS, an advertising agency sent trying to get a license to manufacture the T-shirts.” The company was not granted the license, but at least today we get a peek at what might have been.

See the Facebook post for more pics of the shirt and Lippincott’s tale of Star Wars merchandising and licensing in the seventies. I love these posts!
