Star Wars shows up in the some of the most surprising places. The crew of the Steve Irwin from the Animal Planet show Whale Wars have recently been spotted wearing ome big Star Wars logos on their helmets for the episode “We are Hooligans.”
This episode of Whale Wars follows Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, as he and his crew aboard the Steve Irwin attempt to deter Japanese ships that hunt minke and fin whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

Paul Watson did not found Greenpeace. He worked for Greenpeace for a while, and was kicked out.

I can understand having the Rebellion insignia on this crew’s gear, since, like the Rebellion, they are terrorists.
The Imperial insignia really doesn’t belong on this ship in any way, shape or form.
I have watched whale wars for 7 hours strait last night.
I would do anything to support them.
Die Japs!!!!!!!
I am with the japanese.Paul Watson is a lunatic amnd sooner or later will kill some dumb young people.
Anya, you TOO are a moran!!! These idiots need to take their non-meat eating, non-bath-taking asses bk home and leave these family men to feed their families, (the ones that eat meat and bathe). LOOOOOOOSERS……P.S. i hope like hell, Paul Watson goes to jail for attempted murder upon those Jap guys when he RAMMED their boat….Once Again….LOOOOOOSERS
I can not wait until next season starts up. I believe that this organization is incredible. I have watched evey episode and will continue my suppotrt to save whales until the end of the world. I wish people would understand the how delicate the ecosystem really is . And for all the people against Paul Watson and the rest of the whale wars crew u can all f off. You all will soon regret when the earth plumitts into the sea . We already have to worry about global warming and now lets f up the ecosystem even more by killing a large amount of incredible animals. Keep up the good work sea shepherds. You are the ones that I thank for making a difference in this world. I also strongly beoieve that by what the sea shepherds are doing is not only saving whales but also saving the earth or at least buying us a little more time. Get a clue morans and earn some commen sense. Die in hell Japs and the rest of the animal killers.
Mike g. your an idiot. check your facts before making stupid remarks. Watson WAS a co-founder of Greenpeace and was voted out after a few years because Greenpeace would not go in the direction that he wanted. IE: direct confrontation of the illegal Jap whale killing.
That is why he founded Sea Shepherd……..
Yeah, Whale Wars does show that the crew members have alot to learn but what do you expect from a group of volunteers with little or no training for the kind of job they are doing.
I support Sea Shepherd and all they stand for.
And Yeah…..Paul Watson is a media whore……no kidding, ?that is what he is trying to do because that is the most effective way to fight this campaign……..by media attention……duhhhhhhh.
