21 of the Weirdest R2-D2 Products the Internet Has to Offer

When Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012, they went a little crazy with licensed Star Wars merchandise. The marketing bonanza was so great you could probably deck your whole home out in R2-D2-themed products exclusively. We’re not trying to pick a fight; we all love the helpful droid companion. But one has to ask: Do you really need an R2-D2-themed flashlight? Does tea really taste better coming from a Star Wars-themed teapot? You’ll have to find out yourself. 

1. MEASURING CUP; $18

Measuring cups aren't generally very exciting, but now they can be, when they’re shaped like R2-D2. You can even make a joke about how the Force helped you make the cookies taste better. The set comes with four measuring cups that take the form of the droid when you stack them together.

2. SOY SAUCE DISPENSER; $24

Unless you're a Star Wars-inspired sushi joint, there’s probably no real reason to own this. But that doesn’t mean you can’t want it. The perfectly kitsch item comes straight from Japan and stands at 4 inches tall. It can be filled with soy sauce or any other liquid condiment you want.

3. GARBAGE CAN; $133

What better way to celebrate the beloved droid than by filling it with trash? R2-D2 admittedly does look like a trash can, so maybe this product was inevitable. The wastebasket is about 2 feet tall and opens when you step on a lever at the bottom.

4. MICKEY HAT; $50

Did you know you can buy mouse ear hats outside of the Disney parks? Well you can, and they come in a lot of different varieties. This futuristic option is the perfect reflection of Disney’s acquisition of Star Wars. The plastic cap fits most heads and comes with a strap to keep it on your noggin. The listing says you can “wear it anytime anywhere!” so feel free to don it for your next job interview.

5. SLIPPERS; $22 - $50

Kick back while R2-D2 keeps your feet snug and warm—what a helpful little droid! The polyester slippers come in plenty of different sizes to fit the feet of princesses, Jedi, and wookiees alike.

6. EARRINGS; $10

A pair of earrings is a nice gift, but R2-D2 earrings are an even nicer gift (at least if the recipient is a fan of the series). These silver studs are a subtle way to show some love for the movies. If you’re looking for something a little more intense, you could go all out and purchase an R2-D2 engagement ring.

7. WALL CHARGER; $18

The product description, “powered by droid,” is enough to convince anyone that this product absolutely does need to exist, solely for that joke. It comes with two USB ports so two friends can charge their phones at once (no more prying questions about percentages). The cute little charger even lights up when you plug it in.

8. HUMIDIFIER; $50

Even Jedis suffer from dryness in the cold season. That’s why R2-D2 is here to put some moisture back into the air. (This is the humidifier you're looking for.) These portable humidifiers can be filled with up to a gallon of water at a time and help keep those dry coughs away. After all, pulling off Jedi mind tricks is a lot harder when you can't speak.

9. EGG CUP; $17

This ceramic R2-D2 converts into an egg cup when you take the droid’s head off. Combined with these R2-D2 bowls, breakfast can be perfectly themed, albeit a little strange.

10. TEAPOT; $40

This charming R2-D2 ceramic pot promises perfectly hot tea. There’s just one fatal flaw: This teapot screeches instead of beeps, which is way less cute.

11. FLASHLIGHT; $12

When you squeeze the handle of this plastic flashlight, R2-D2's dome head slides up, revealing a light source. The 5-inch-tall flashlight will surely help keep the dark side at bay.

12. BENTO BOX; $20

This hollow droid breaks into three separate containers to hold a well-balanced lunch. When lunch is over, they snap back into place with an airtight lid. As an added bonus, the top part doubles as a cutter and can cut bread into perfect circles. A separate piece works as a stamp to turn bread into a starchy Death Star.

13. SCREWDRIVER; $11

With this R2-D2 screwdriver, you can be almost as handy as the astromech droid himself. The 4-inch-tall tool is compact and easy to use on the go. It comes with three different bits: one slotted and two Phillips-head.

14. SOUP; $17

Soup’s on! Buy a case (or a dozen cases) of this Star Wars-branded Campbell’s Soup and never have a meal without R2-D2’s robot face again. The limited edition cases come with 10 cans of chicken noodle soup. The noodles are shaped like Yoda, Darth Vader, R2-D2, and storm troopers.

15. GUITAR; $247

Let R2-D2 wash your troubles away with this truly inspired shower head. It comes with three different spray settings, an anti-clog nozzle, and a life-time warranty.

17. VIRTUAL KEYBOARD; $276

R2-D2 projects some helpful maps and holograms, so it's probably not asking him too much to project a futuristic keyboard so you can finish that C-3PO fan fiction you were working on.

18. TRAPPER KEEPER; $18

Children of the ‘80s will remember their beloved Trapper Keepers. Now you can relive your childhood with this R2-D2-themed binder, which has 1.5 inch rings that hold plenty of loose leaf and up to four folders and notebooks. It's perfect for holding all your ongoing fan theories.
