'I have a bad feeling about this': 20+ Star Wars gadgets I can't believe actually exist

When it comes to gifting, Star Wars fans are well catered for. No need to visit any specialist shops or embark on a challenging research journey; as George Lucas so astutely predicted, Star Wars merch is not hard to come by. But what if you're looking for something a little different? What if you or the Star Wars fanatic in your life is already kitted out with the standard merch — T-shirts, figurines, and so on?

I've got you. This Star Wars day (May the Fourth be with you, by the way), I've gathered together enough intergalactic gadgets and gizmos to fill the Black Spire Outpost market, with a particular focus on the weird and the wonderful. I'm talking glowing lightsaber chopsticks, Death Star herb grinders, droid lava lamps. I'm taking Artoo Crocs.

I'll start with my favorite picks in the US, or you can hop down the page for my top UK choices. And if buildable bricks are your money-waster of choice, we have a separate guide to the Star Wars LEGO to buy.

Before we start, a moment of silence for the Chewbacca Instant Pot, which now lives on only in our memories (and on eBay).
