Star Wars Imperial / New Mexico Zia Empire T-shirt

THIS DESIGN IS LIMITED TO 60 SHIRTS. IT DOES AND WILL SELL QUICKLY! Combining the Zia sun symbol of Zia Pueblo, with the crest of The Galactic Empire – this design represents an honorable culture, and a shroud of darkness… Four is the sacred number of the Zia and can be found repeated in the four points radiating from the circle. The number four is embodied in the four sacred obligations one must develop (a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit, and a devotion to the welfare of others), according to Zia belief. Emperor Palpatine in his Imperial Inaugural Address announcing the Declaration of a New Order which would reorganize the Republic into the first Galactic Empire, stated 4 seemingly similar visionary decrees: • To ensure security and continue stability • To trade frailty for strength • To turn chaos to order • To eliminate uncertainty and bring about decisiveness During their duel on Mustafar, Anakin Skywalker also declared to Obi-Wan 4 supposed virtues of the Empire: “I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!" Not unlike Palpatine’s manipulative rise to power, and his deceitful coercion of Anakin from a Jedi to a Sith, this symbol proposes one ideology while in fact representing another… Republic to Empire. Jedi to Sith. Loyalty to Betrayal. Buyer beware… Professionally screen printed on super-soft, 100% cotton, black Next Level tees. Made in USA. Designed in Albuquerque. ★ Limited Edition of 60!
