Has anyone ever told you that you smell like a scruffy-looking nerf herder? If so, SlashFilm is reporting that a solution may be on the way.
German fragrance company Lifestyle Perfumes has created three Star Wars-inspired scents that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt if something exists, there’s a Star Wars version of it. The scents are Jedi, Empire and Amidala, all of which will transport you to a galaxy far, far away with just a single spritz.
OK, so they won’t actually do that. Like other colognes and perfumes, however, they will — you know — make you smell nice. Here are the official breakdowns of all three scents, which read like they’ve been translated into English by Master Yoda himself:
Jedi: The woody-aromatic scent Star Wars Jedi exudes positive energy. The start of this refreshing yet distinctively masculine scent experience make tangy notes of mandarin, paired with spicy aromas of pink and black pepper. These are supplemented in the heart with gentle nuances of sandalwood. Rounding out the ensemble with aromatic essences of amber, patchouli, and musk.
Empire: The strong character and modern smell Star Wars Empire owes its distinctive recognition value of the combination of sparkling and seductive notes with aromatic, astringent chords. At the beginning of oriental-woody fragrance experience is a blast of fresh notes of lime and bergamot which are enhanced by chords from apple and jasmine in the heart. The composition is completed by a base of amber, sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean.
Amidala: The fruity-oriental fragrance Star Wars Amidala envelops its wearer with an elegant and sensual aura and royal grace. The creation opens with refreshing notes of mandarin and green apple. In the heart seduces with an elegant bouquet of orange blossom, patchouli and sandalwood. Sensual Vanillie and musks ensure a round underscore this composition.
As others have pointed out, all three bottles look like lightsaber hilts and the only thing that would make this product more amazing would be if each spray was accompanied by a classic saber sound effect. Thanks to Lifestyle Perfumes, we can now watch every Star Wars film with the knowledge that Luke smells like mandarin and sandalwood, Vader like lime and bergamot, and Amidala like orange blossom and patchouli.
For the time being, it seems like the scents are only available in Germany, but thanks to the internet, you can purchase them here. The 60ml bottles retail for around $22, while the 40ml bottles will set you back just under $17.
As for the film franchise that spawned the scents, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set to hit theaters December 16, while Star Wars: Episode VIII will arrive December 15, 2017.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
