Dec. 06--Behind each adorable Wookiee mask is a truly bizarro "Star Wars" toy or merchandising tie-in. Like "Star Wars" duct tape. Why? Because they can. Even Aunt Beru, who raised Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, has her own action figure. She comes with blue milk.
Here is our collection of the oddities and head-scratching merchandising moments from the franchise that never has to say no.
Chicken noodle "Star Wars"
Campbell's soup has a variety of special-edition "Star Wars" soups, with Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, R2-D2 and Yoda shapes, all of which surprisingly look like the movie characters but in noodle form.
Elan Sleazebaggano action figure
This character appeared for a few seconds in "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones," offering Obi-Wan Kenobi some "Death Sticks." Now, kids across the world can relive that exciting drug-dealing interaction with an Elan Sleazebaggano action figure.
Jar Jar floatie
Awkwardly float atop the lap of the most loathed character in all of the galaxy, Jar Jar Binks.
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" barf bag
Truly there is no limit to the power of the dark side, and no restrictions on what you can slap the name "Star Wars" on. Behold, a Virgin Airlines "Star Wars" air sickness bag.
Darth Vader toaster
Vader finds your lack of strawberry jam disturbing.
Darth Vader shower head
What better way to start the day than by bathing in the tears of Darth Vader?
Chewbacca Crocs
When regular Crocs just won't do, try Chewbacca Crocs. And remember, friends are overrated.
Jabba Glob
A legend among toy fans, the Jabba Glob isn't rare, just gross. Fill character Jabba the Hutt with green goo and tiny plastic snacking frogs. Then press down, squeeze his belly and watch Jabba barf for your pleasure.
Chewbacca creamer -- tastes like fur!
Nestle has a whole collection of "Star Wars" creamers, which is great. And no one should challenge its existence.
R2-D2 pizza cutter
Because droids love pizza.
Lightsaber bat and baseball / "Star Wars" handcuffs
OK this is actually quite brilliant. It's a take on the lightsaber training remote that Masters use to teach their young padawans to trust the force. This is great. The Stormtrooper manacles, however, are odd. But if you need to pretend to restrain a Wookiee, Lucasfilm and Disney have got you covered.
