# Golf In Space Star Wars-Inspired Golf Gear By Alex Covert | Published 2008-03-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-in-space-star-wars-inspired-golf-gear References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2008/03/tiger_woods_mee.php) & [starwars](http://www.starwars.com/collecting/news/misc/news20080325b.html) It would be interesting to watch the golfer who carries this Storm Trooper golf bag. I would expect a [light saber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightsaber-lego) ("7-iron") battle with his partner by the 2nd green. To be released in Japan, this official [Star Wars Golf bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7eleven-x-sunday-golf) will cost about $500 USD. There is also a Darth Vader version. I would have thought Jedis wouldn't even need clubs to put a ball in to a hole... **Implications** - This Storm Trooper golf bag, although quite out of this world, would definitely be the perfect gift for any [sci-fi geek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection) who also has a passion for hitting the greens. Not only does this bag embody one's passion for Star Wars, it will also make losing one's golf clubs a whole lot harder. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sci-fi Golf Gear:** Creating golf gear inspired by sci-fi franchises can attract a niche market of fans with disposable income. - **Nostalgia-inspired Accessories:** Collaborating with popular franchises to create licensed accessories that tap into the nostalgia of consumers can boost sales. - **Geek Culture Merchandise:** Expanding merchandise lines to include items that cater to geek and nerd cultures can open up a new revenue stream for companies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sporting Goods:** Sporting goods companies can collaborate with popular franchises to create limited edition sport accessories to attract new consumers. - **Entertainment:** Collaborating with sporting goods companies to release licensed merchandise can tap into the nostalgia of fans and promote a new revenue stream. - **Retail:** Expanding merchandise offerings to include niche items can cater to a diverse set of customers and boost sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Premium Stand Golf Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fadeaway-bag.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Golf-Themed Oversized Trunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-5.md) - [Sci-Fi Series Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-star-wars-day.md) - [Celebratory Sci-Fi Tech Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-g-return-of-the-jediinspired-collection.md) - [Subtly Sci-Fi Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set.md) - [Cinematic Golfer Hockey Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssey-happy-gilmore-hockey-stick-putter.md) - [Sci-Fi-Branded Gamer Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-x-star-wars.md)
