Brought to us by Amanda Oakleaf Cakes, the Life-Size Stormtrooper Cake was created for the Arisia Sci-Fi Convention in Boston, MA. At 6′ 4″, 300 lbs, it’s certainly not short for a Stormtrooper, and took two weeks and Oakleaf Cakes’ entire crew of ten people to put the cake together.

What we can only hope is the work of some dastardly photoshoppers, Belgian fast food chain Quick is apparently unveiling a line of burgers to tie in with the 3D release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Haven’t we suffered enough?
Trying to get the point across — perhaps a bit too hard — that the force has a dark side, the Dark Vador [?!?] Burger’s bun is actually black.

With water made from the finest glaciers on Hoth, Star Wars by Evian will keep you hydrated under the hot suns of Tatooine. Actually, the series of high-end water bottles is a student project by Mandy Brencys – depicting minimalist versions of the cast, and designed to be wielded like a light saber.

The Empire Strikes Back… with booze. Created by woodworker Colin Johnson, The Emperor’s Cabinet is a fully functional wet bar, designed to hold your finest gins and ripples. And as if it couldn’t get any awesomer, Johnson even installed a mirrored interior.

The Han Solo In Carbonite Chocolate Bar is a delicious reminder to never cross an evil worm-like crime lord… and that ‘Empire’ rules and Irvin Kershner should have directed all six episodes of Star Wars. But I digress.
The iconic image has been immortalized in 4.5 oz of dark chocolate, and is rumored to taste much better than carbon freeze. Give one to the Leia in your life, or hang one up on the wall to act as a warning to smugglers who owe you money.
