90s Star Wars Navy T-shirt

The specific C-3PO on the chest of this navy cotton tee is the Tatooine-era version from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) — the exposed-droid state that anchors his introduction in the film as the half-built protocol droid a young Anakin Skywalker is assembling from Mos Espa scrapyard parts. R2-D2 stands beside him on the dune, with the chrome STAR WARS wordmark set at the upper right of the chest print. The Phantom Menace arrived in May 1999 as the first new Star Wars film in sixteen years, triggering the broader Lucasfilm licensing rollout that ran across the preceding year of prequel-anticipation merchandise this piece belongs to.
