Because the thought of getting faux fur in your mouth while taking a sip of water is universally appealing, this is the Star Wars Chewbacca Bottle Cooler available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth for $20. Designed to hold 20 to 32 oz. water bottles & 750ml bottles (wait – of liquor?!), the carrier includes “powerful insulation” to keep your bottle as cool as Luke Skywalker on Hoth prior to sleeping inside a tauntaun.
While they call the product a “cooler,” I’d argue it doesn’t actually do any cooling, it just keeps your bottle from warming as quickly as it would without insulation. So it’s technically a slow-warmer or a hairy koozie.
As Chewbacca would say, “GGGWARRRHHWWWW!” Or would this be more of a “WWWRRRRRRGWWWRRRR” situation? Whatever the case, Disney better be giving Chewie a cut of the royalties from these products, because, as Han Solo once warned C-3PO, “It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.” Wiser words have never been spoken.
