star wars merchandise
A long time ago, in a marketing department far, far away, vendors prepared for the arrival of the first film in the third Star Wars trilogy. "Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens" arrives in theaters on Dec. 18. With the movie's arrival comes some of the most outlandish Star Wars products that people could think up. If you’re a fan of the franchise — or even if you’re not — you won’t want to miss these ingeniously ridiculous products.

star wars imperial walker
Relive the Battle of Hoth in your own front yard with this fallen All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) walker lawn ornament. Rumor has it that AT-ATs will return in episode VII, and they’re even stronger than you remember. Still, the version available on the ThinkGeek website is of the legendary imperial walker from "Star Wars Episode II: The Empire Strikes Back." The statue’s snow-white backdrop will blend in perfectly with your Christmas decorations, and you might even be able to catch it on sale.
2. Star Wars Twin Bed from Pottery Barn: $3,999

star wars millennium falcon bed
For almost $4,000, your child can charter a flight to Alderaan — from his own bed. This Pottery Barn twin bed features the iconic cockpit shape, knobs and gauges featured in the first Star Wars trilogy’s famous Millennium Falcon. Let’s just hope your child isn’t captured by the Death Star — this bed is way too expensive to replace.
3. Coffee-mate Limited Edition Star Wars Creamer: $3.19 and up

The rebel forces have aligned with the dark side to bring you the most epic cup of coffee in the galaxy. These limited edition Star Wars themed Coffee-mate bottles are available in Darth Vader Espresso Chocolate, Chewbacca Spiced Latte, Boba Fett Sweet Crème, R2-D2 French Vanilla and C-3PO Hazelnut. They’re available at many grocery store chains for about $3.19, but they’re going fast. Bottles are already available on Amazon for $14.99 and up. Your chances of finding a bottle might be 725 to one. That’s what C-3PO said, anyway.

Now your dog can get in on the action, too, by dressing up in this four-legged tank costume from ThinkGeek. There’s a good chance this imperial walker costume won’t last long, though — and it won’t take harpoons and tow cables to take him down. Some dogs would simply chew the hat and jumpsuit off, and the ensemble would last barely five minutes.
5. Star Wars X-Wing Knife Block: $99.99
