If you can't get enough Star Wars merchandise -- and let's face it, George Lucas certainly doesn't think so -- then you should check out these Star Wars Schematic t-shirts from ThinkGeek. Each t-shirt features a signature Star Wars vehicle and diagrams of all of its intergalactic parts.
My favorite part about these Star Wars Schematic t-shirts is the fact that they look like wire frames you'd see on actual blueprints. The three vehicles featured in these nifty galactic shirts are the X-Wing Starfighter, the Imperial TIE Fighter, and the AT-AT Imperial Walker.
