[B]Petco[/B], yes the very same pet supply store known across the nation, made a surprise visit at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. The occassion? A new line of officially licensed [B]Star Wars[/B] themed pet clothing and toys. The [B]Star Wars Pet Fans Collection[/B] will launch September 1, 2013 at Peco's nationwide and will feature super cute (and cool) doggy coats styled after popular Star Wars characters, such as Boba Fett and Chewbacca. I suggested to Petco a fuzzy Wampa coat would be neat, ala something seen in the [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ea1k-PHvRY"]"Wampug" video[/URL] that went viral not too long ago. Petco replied that what you see at Comic-Con is only the beginning of the line and that many more designs are planned (I think I saw him jotting down some notes :)

Canines aren't the only pets to receive Star Wars love. Also shown was a series of cat toys, including little mice decked out like Yoda and Vader, stringed feather balls (love the Death Star) and an assortment of plush playthings such as a TIE Fighter and Millennium Falcon. All very gimmicky, for sure, but as a lifelong Star Wars fan and pet lover the temptation to give into the Dark Side was strong. I have a chihuahua/ boston terrier mix named Bobo that I already visualize as [I]Bobo Fett[/I] come September 1st.
