Originally this thread was going to be about "geek" products generally, but oh my god Star Wars has completely cornered the market on making baffling poo poo.



A Death Star cutting board. Why? What advantage does this offer over a normal cutting board, except for channels for liquids to puddle and mold in?




Of course.




Why?




Oh good, now I can pretend someone hit a tiny head of Darth Vader through my back loving windshield.





If you wanted to say you have no family or are alone, you could have just bought the one that says "Star Wars".





If you wear cufflinks, you don't wear these.




If you use a yoga mat, you don't use this one.




Storm troopers AND zombies?! Sign me the gently caress up!!




The movie isn't even out!! You don't even know who this is!!!! You don't have to serve chips off it yet!!!!!!!!!

also keep in mind this is the fault of anyone who accepts a job in marketing and the entire result of post industrial capitalism, which continues to grow and morph into something more vile like the The Blob )google it to buy merchandise about The Blob)

How many different types of TIE fighters can be bought as cufflinks? I mean, if they had like the TIE Defender or the TIE stealth, I would consider it.

Is there a TIE tie?

As our culture moves towards more instant gratification and on demand entertainment, people start attaching themselves to any crumb of media. This is why you'll see fan art for games the day after they are announced with a vague trailer.
