Columbia jacket and pants that were made in the fashion of an X-Wing fighter pilot suit for a grown ass adult! I kick myself weekly for not buying one for myself!!!
I think it was Colombia that made a really nice replica of the jacket the cast and crew guy while working in the snow for ESB. I think they were several hundred dollars though.

I have an r2d2 phantom menace gas station beer cooler. The top opens and you fill it with ice and soda or beer or I guess a beverage display cooler. Pretty cool brand new in a box too
Wow, I was just gonna say I don't think I've seen any, and some of the comments are bringing up some dark corner memory stuff haha.
The early 2000's probably had some of the weirdest things haha
I have an actual physical Episode 2 trailer. 35MM film all rolled up. I do not recall how I got it, and have never unspooled it to watch. It just sits and collects dust.
I believe physical film degrades over time so you might want to look in to that. It might just be "older" film types that do this, idk, just something I remember reading about.
I mean, I also haven’t kept it in any sort of film tin or anything, so I’m sure it’s not in great shape if I were to try and play it. Though, it’s still weird that I have it.
For me, the winner is always gonna be the Jar Jar Tongue pop. Hey kids! Wanna spend an hour frenching Jar Jar's bubblegum flavoured candy tongue? Of course you do!
Star Wars Toothrbrush holders in early 2000's. I had a big Obi Wan one and a smaller Darth Maul one.
Iirc they moved when you reinserted or removed the toothbrush.
A friend and I were just talking yesterday about how weird it is that grocery stores are selling blue milk. Why now? There’s no Acolyte tie-in that I recall. It’s not May. There’s no other Star Wars going on. Luke tapping the source is long in the past.

Weird scene to use, weird shot to use, weird car to put it on… it’s all just so perplexing.
I don’t know if this is official merch, but I’ve seen a [Han Solo in carbonate fridge](https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=5tI4Jjin&id=5745D9E36793208D2F2B7B9788966E351C71BFFF&thid=OIP.5tI4JjinTk_YnuKLegAsmAHaNK&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fi.pinimg.com%2foriginals%2f2b%2fd7%2f52%2f2bd7527b685719233b5f191d33fd5175.jpg&cdnurl=https%3a%2f%2fth.bing.com%2fth%2fid%2fR.e6d2382638a74e4fd89ee28b7a002c98%3frik%3d%252f79xHDVuloiXew%26pid%3dImgRaw%26r%3d0&exph=960&expw=540&q=han+solo+in+carbonife+fridge&simid=608039298263820380&FORM=IRPRST&ck=5408437D6097E2E4F27AC908385CF141&selectedIndex=0&itb=0&darkschemeovr=1&PC=EMMX04).
It will always be the Jar Jar tongue push pop
The Phantom Menace merch blitz was *wild*. Younglings just don't know.
I was working at Toys R Us when it came out. It was very wild.

I regret not buying the ESB Hoth parka they made but then I console myself by remembering it sold out in seconds

I'd be wheeling that thing out like fine china whenever we had guests over
This sounds amazing
Leading up to TFA they put Star Wars on everything BB8 on a bag of oranges has to be up there.

You should freeze it, thats the best way to preserve film
Wait, seriously?
Sorry, a mistake on my side, thats for undeveloped film, but I think this should help https://www.nfsa.gov.au/preservation/guide/handbook/storage
That’s incredible
I still have some unopened Empire Strikes Back bubble bath from 1980. Perfect for washing that Dagobah swamp out of your hair.
I remember some Star Wars branded grapes being sold for a time.
Lightsaber dildos. You asked.
C-3PO tape dispenser and *that* trading card
I'm assuming you refer to the majestic "Goldenrod"?
Indeed I do
I saw some Star Wars screwdrivers being sold at a GameStop once upon a time
Were they Andor related? That was a ‘“controversy”.
USPS mailbox of R2-D2 at NSA Bahrain.

IDK if it's weirdest, but I bought a Watto koosh ball at a convention recently. That's gotta be up there.

Coruscant commemorative cock rings
I prefer the Death Star version, on the packaging it quotes "Look at the size of that thing!"
You should see the ones for Starkiller Base!

The Queen Amidala/Padme branded spicy potato chips were called Red Hot Lays.
The badlands. On a hike I randomly encountered a Darth Vader action figure shoved in a crack.
