"A national kitchen retailer is carrying an extensive, officially licensed Star Wars cookware and appliance collection timed to the surge in fandom from The Mandalorian and the viral popularity of "baby Yoda." Among the exclusive offerings is a Star Wars Instant Pot line—Darth Vader, R2D2, BB8, Stormtrooper and Chewbacca designs—that is available for pre-order now and will be fully available December 13. The broader themed assortment outfits nearly every kitchen appliance, from a Darth Vader toaster and an R2D2 popcorn maker to Death Star ice molds, though the reviewer notes many items prioritize visual theming over character-driven functionality and wishes for more playful, mechanically inventive pieces (for example, a BB8 ice cream maker that rolls as it churns or a trash-can droid)." - Jaya Saxena
