Hmm… Is this evidence of the nerds conquering the world, or of crass commercialism tainting what is held dear by some?

I’d think the answer is: Yes.

Finally. I’m throwing my stupid useless non-branded trivets In. The. Trash.
Wait, why is the Millennium Falcon wrong? It’s mirror-imaged.

$395 is in line for a dutch oven isn’t it?
That Tattoine one is gorgeous, and understated enough to warrant inclusion in a non-Star Wars themed kitchen.
Too 'spensive, though.

Okay, the ‘Han Solo frozen-in-carbonite’ roaster is pretty cool.

The Porg and the Han in carbonite are the only ones that interest me but jesus christ those prices are really something
Apparently there’s similar detailing on the back as well. Without a photo of the reverse, there’s no way of knowing for sure how wrong it all is though. If it’s just a mirrored image of what we can already see, then it’s ok-ish, but lazy. If it’s got landing strut details, then it’s admirable, but wrong.
Should have made a Tatooine Tagine.

The image isn’t reversed; ‘le creuset’ appears properly. And that’s as far as I’ll dip my toes into cookware as it relates to SW! 
I think you may have misinterpreted what I wrote. But fair enough on not feeling up to an ongoing discussion on overpriced nostalgia bait licensed cookware.

Okay, I appreciate that I’m just getting old and bitter, and several years ago came to to terms with the reality that the Star Wars of my youth was something to let go of and not be all geeky and possessive of, but come on, this stuff is all over priced crap! (Except the Han Solo roaster. That’s kind of cool, although if its a roaster it should really look like Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.)
