The Chewbelta will make you the copilot of your own Millennium Falcon… or Ford Taurus


Star Wars fans will love the Chewbelta Chewbacca Seat Belt Cover, which makes safety fun and furry at the same time. 

Inspired by the bandolier style tool-belt worn by Chewbacca, the Chewbelta is made of 100% authentic wookiee fur, measures 20″ x 4″, and fits over your existing seat belt.

The extra padding adds comfort to driving, or you can put the Chewbelta over your favorite gear bag strap because as Chewbacca once said:

“RRRAARRWHHGWWR.”

The Chewbelta Chewbacca Seat Belt Cover is priced at $19.99 on Amazon.

These Star Wars inspired hand engraved coins are insanely awesome


Today is May 4th which means it’s Star War’s day! This day each year a lot of tech sites write about all sorts of kooky Star Wars products, but I didn’t want to do that because I’m sure you all get tired of seeing news posts about Darth Vadar slippers and R2D2 cookie jars. After lots of searching, I found something that I know any Star Wars fan will appreciate. Check out these impressive hand carved coins by Shaun Hughes.

Known as hobo nickels, they are carvings that started in the mid 18th century. The buffalo nickel was a favored coin to alter, which explains the name, but these sculptures are done on any denomination of coins from around the world.

Shaun Hughes engraves/modifies coins with all sorts of different subject matter from sugar skull type art, to cartoons from The Simpsons, to these Star Wars inspired coins shown here.

I can’t imagine creating detailed art like this on a coin sized canvas. These coins are currently available on eBay where the Darth Vader penny shown at the top of the page is at $40. The Storm Trooper coin shown directly above is at $52 and the center pictured Storm Trooper coin has a buy-it-now price of $175.

Do yourself a favor and even if you’re not interested in bidding on one of these coins, click through to one of those links and scroll to the bottom of the page where he includes a video that shows him carving the coin. It makes me want to take up this unique art technique.

May the Fourth be with you, my friends!

Use the dark side of the Force to bake the perfect cookie and grill the best burger

Have fun channeling your inner Darth Vader the next time you’re cooking in the kitchen or at the backyard grill with these officially licensed Star Wars kitchen accessories.

Start a pair of Darth Vader oven mitts that are made of heat-resistant silicone that will protect your hands from temperatures up to 445 degrees F.

The gloves provide an anti-slip grip and they are embossed with the Empire insignia.

You can buy a Star Wars Darth Vader Oven Glove Set for $19.95 from Amazon.

Another must have kitchen tool for the ultimate Sith Lord BBQ enthusiast are the Star Wars Lightsaber BBQ Tongs.

These tongs will let you flip burgers like an evil galactic chef. They are 22 inches long, have a heatproof handle, a plastic cover, and run on 2 AA batteries. Batteries for a pair of BBQ tongs you ask quizzically? Ummmm, yeah, Darth Vaders lightsaber BBQ tongs would be mega lame if they didn’t have the iconic lightsaber sound effects!

You can pinch a pair (see what I did there?) Star Wars Lightsaber BBQ Tongs for $23.99 from Amazon.
