'Star Wars' Helps Fight Cancer

Let's face it, Star Wars is never going anywhere. It wasn't enough that George Lucas released three more movies, a ton of merchandise, and Jar-Jar Binks. There's now a Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

And to celebrate that, and also fight cancer, Stand Up To Cancer is releasing an exclusive Star Wars themed T-shirt collection. In their ad campaign, Emma Stone, Seth Rogan, Zach Galifianakis, Aziz Ansari, among others, recreate classic scenes from the movie while wearing the shirts. The goal? To raise awareness and funds for cancer research.

Finally, something good to come out of all the insane Star Wars hype. The shirts sell for $25 and are available for purchase now through the end of the year. All of the proceeds will benefit the Stand Up To Cancer organization.

Stand Up to Cancer has been around since 2008, when they launched an international celebrity telethon with an appearance by the now late Patrick Swayze. They raised $100 million in that night alone. They returned last year to earn an additional $80 million for cancer research.

One of the T-shirt designs features Yoda along with the caption: "Yoda stands up to cancer." Another has a storm trooper with a gun, saying, "Blast cancer." Even the bad guys want to get rid of this disease! And finally, there's a shirt with the iconic Star Wars of image of Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. It reads: "Use the force for good."

In one of the ad campaigns, Emma Stone rocks the Yoda shirt while wearing a cutesy pair of Princess Leia buns. Either that, or she's got the coolest headphones ever.

Bill Hader of Saturday Night Live fame poses in another shot, dressed as Han Solo. And in yet another picture, Community's Ken Jeong poses next to R2D2. Or, if you're a superfan, Artoo-Detoo.

On Tuesday night the The New York Mets presented its first Star Wars night with Stand Up to Cancer. Fans dressed up as their favorite characters to win contests and prizes. Ticket prices ranged from $55-$28 and benefited the organization.

Looks like Stand Up to Cancer knows what they're doing. Find some crazy fanatics and monetize on them for the greater good. I'm guessing Twilight T-shirts are next.

If you want to help out the cause but don’t want to look like you live in your mom's basement, the organization has other apparel. Standup2cancer.org offers T-shirts, hats, and accessories, all donning the organization's logo.
