Sarlacc Plush Devours a Tiny Boba Fett

Fans of Boba Fett all know how the bounty hunter meets his demise in Return of the Jedi. He gets ejected by a blinded Han Solo right into the maw of the Sarlacc where he will be digested for all eternity.

Star Wars Celebration is going on later this month in Orlando, and as happens each year, there will be some awesome exclusive collectibles on hand. One of the coolest Star Wars toys I have ever seen is this Sarlacc pit plush complete with an entangled Boba Fett going to his doom.

I have no idea how much it will cost, but I’d pay it. Another cool collectible is the sweet Sandcrawler and Jawa plush. It looks like the side of that plush Sandcrawler might open up and let you cram the Jawa inside.

There will be plenty of shirts and other items at the celebration as well. I hope ThinkGeek gets some of the leftovers again this year as it has in the past, so those of us not in attendance can get our hands on some of this cool swag.

Star Wars Jawa Lawn Ornaments Are Ready to Scavenge Your Neighborhood

After years of roaming the desert, the Jawas want a more lush climate. Your front yard should do just fine. But if your neighbors have droid lawn ornaments, they will turn up missing, only to be sold in your yard at bargain basement prices. Especially if any of the units has a bad motivator. Just ask them what they are trying to pull.

This 16-inch Jawa lawn ornament is going to look great in your lawn or garden. It has glowing solar powered eyes and an on/off switch on the back of its hood.

You have to buy several, so that when they release a sandcrawler lawn ornament, you are ready to populate it.

Cute Jawa Kids Halloween Costumes: Jawadorable

These kids wanted to be Jawas for Halloween this year so their parents agreed. Don’t they make the cutest Jawas this side of Tatooine?

Although I’m not sure what they expect to find at each house. Candy or droids? Candied droids would be best I would think. As cute as they are in the daytime, they’d pretty creepy in the dark on Halloween night. I would freak out if I saw them. Because you know they’re just there to scope out your place and steal your droids. Or maybe sell you one with a bad motivator.

They look adorable though, don’t they? Shut up and take my candy! Utinni!

Cockroach Looks Like a Jawa: Lives in a Skincrawler

Anyone on Tatooine can tell you that Jawas are annoying pests. They wander around collecting scraps and selling droids and are just generally everywhere. Meanwhile, on Earth, it turns out that we have our own Jawa pests.

This species of cockroach – called the lucihormetica luckae - looks just like a tiny Jawa, but there’s no droid selling here. I wonder if George Lucas was a bug collector and this was his inspiration.

Sadly, the bugs might be extinct now. They were only recently discovered, living inside a volcano in Ecuador. The problem is that the volcano erupted back in 2010, and they haven’t been seen since. They just need tiny blasters.

These cockroaches look adorable – especially when they glow in the dark. Bet you never saw a Jawa do this…

Wait, doesn’t that look like EVE from WALL-E?

Feast your eyes on the most authentic Jawa cupcake ever. Just look at those golden eyes – and that cloak and cowl look spot on. Lock up your daughters. Lock up your wife. Lock up your back door and run for your life. The Jawa’s back in town… Sorry, a little AC/DC Jawa humor.

Seriously, these cupcakes look sweet. And vegans will love that they are, well, 100% vegan. Jenn’s Jawa-shaped peanut butter cupcake cookies won’t steal or sell your droids either. They’re just there to taste yummy, making you want to eat a sandcrawler full of them.

You can find detailed recipes for all of the components at the link. Make some and then ship them to me here on Tatooine.

Jawa Birthday Cake: Fresh-Baked from Tatooine

Hide your droids and your money. Here comes one of those pesky Jawas. Oh wait, this cute little guy is just a birthday cake. Isn’t he adorable? At least this guy won’t try to swindle you and try to sell you a droid with a bad motivator.

Flickr contributor Fat Tony’s wife baked this Jawa birthday cake for their friend’s daughter’s birthday. I can see how he got the name, if this is the kind of thing that his wife bakes. I would be fat too.

This chocolate cake is enrobed in chocolate fondant has light up eyes made from mini party light LEDs bought from the craft store. At least your droids would be safe with this guy, though your waistline might not be.
