‘Star Wars’ is a science fiction, space multi-media franchise created by George Lucas. It began with a single film in 1977 and very quickly became a pop culture sensation expanding into many consecutive films and various other media which in total make this one of the most successful and recognised franchises in history. Star Wars also became a sub-franchise of the one and only Disney when ‘The Walt Disney Company’ bought the franchise from George Lucas in 2012.
The stories follow a variety of characters (and creatures) on their adventures across the galaxy. They live in a universe where humans, robots, droids and all sorts of aliens co-exist, sometimes not so happily. These films each contain a well-executed story in which the main theme revolves around the fight between good and evil. The population is divided between two knightly orders, the noble, peacekeeping Jedi and the ominous, manipulative Sith. A mystical power referred to as ‘The Force’ is a type of energy field that through training and meditation produces various superpowers such as telekinesis, telepathy, precognition, manipulation of physical energy and lots more. The Force is able to be in different ways so it’s used by both orders, the Jedi using the light side of The Force and the Sith using the Dark side. This fight between good and evil is on and heroes must arise to save this galaxy far, far away.
‘Never tell me the odds’ is one of the many memorable quotes from the Star Wars films. When faced with a lethal asteroid field, Han Solo, the space buccaneer who becomes an accidental hero, must navigate the Millennium Falcon and all its passengers safely through. One of the characters on board in this scene is an intelligent droid named C-3PO who informs Han Solo of the devastating odds of survival, 3,720 to 1, to which he responds “never tell me the odds!” This iconic quote is captured and accompanied by the Millennium Falcon on this pin which is absolutely essential for all Star Wars fans!

‘Arrow’ is an American superhero television series that acts as a modern retelling of the Green Arrow, a DC character featured in many comic books and graphic novels. This show also served as the gateway to what the fans refer to as the ‘Arrowverse’ (also known as the CW Multiverse or CWverse) which is a television franchise that also currently includes Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow to name a few.
Spoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead after a storm shipwrecks the boat he was on. However, it turns out that he never died… Instead he managed to find his way onto a mysterious, uncharted island in the North China Sea. For five years, he was stranded in this cruel purgatory surrounded by unknown evils. When he returns home, his family and friends find that the person they lost isn’t the one the got back. He’s a changed man, much more than they realise. Oliver returned home with a mission to rid his city of the crime and corruption that his family has ignored for years, sheltered by their wealth. Armed with a bow and a quiver full of arrows, his weapon of choice, he becomes a secret vigilante with the help of former soldier John Diggle and skilled hacker and I.T. expert Felicity Smoak. Will the war on crime that Oliver started make a difference? What happens when Oliver’s past, the five years on the island, chases him down?
‘You have failed this city’ is a reoccurring phrase used mainly by Oliver Queen throughout the entirety of the show. In his hooded archer persona, he uses it to confront evildoers and call them out for their actions and the results they’ve had in in the city. With Oliver’s hooded silhouette and this iconic quote written in green on a dark silver arrowhead, we could think of nothing better to celebrate this character and the show as a whole!
