I am fond of Star Wars.  Found this today at shirtpunch.com.

Amazing resemblance to my own arms, don’t you think?

 

And yes, I ordered the t-shirt smile

Not sure of the helmet, Brad, but, I do like the shield!

Really? Are we really going to say that helmet is "iffy" when we’re from Earth and they’re from a galaxy far far away…? I don’t think even the College of Arms jurisdiction goes THAT far!

What—no Imperial Jurisdiction?—of course one would hardly expect to find rebel arms registered with the heralds of the alleged oppressor…

The College of Arms might not object to the helmet in any case.  They granted something not too dissimilar to the Royal Air Force Staff College 42 years ago : http://www.griffon.clara.net/rafh/badge_s.htm

Was Sir Alec Guinness ever granted arms?  I can imagine his response to being offered that….
