Is it weird that these mugs might be my favorite new Star Wars merch?

Is it weird that a collection of mugs are my new favorite Star Wars merch? Because it feels weird.

Anyway. The items in question caught my eye right away when I sauntered down to Disney HQ in London to see what was being cooked up ahead of Star Wars day (May 4). Yes, there was an awesome Star Wars toy that's become my new obsession. We were able to exclusively reveal a lightsaber replica for the most underrated Jedi, too. But honestly, the Star Wars merch I could actually see in my home the most were these Starbucks Discovery Series mugs that'll soon be available from the Disney Store and Disney Store UK.

Depicting three of the franchise's most iconic planets (Tattoine, Geonosis, and Kashyyyk) in an art deco style, they look far classier than I'd anticipate if you said the words 'Star Wars mug.' Littered with characters and locations from their respective worlds, they're tied together by an appropriate color-pallette like orange or green.

At £20 each, they're on the pricier side, but considering the quality and heft of the mugs themselves, I reckon that higher cost is worth it. If you need presents for a loved one who adores Star Wars, they're solid gifts for gamers too.

I don't have an exact release date for them yet, but it'll be soon – the products are all ready to go, so I'll update this page as soon as I have info on launches.

Oh, and if you were wondering - the Kashyyyk mug is my favorite. I'm a sucker for the jungle planet, and the leafy green color-scheme (but with orange accents as a contrast) is the kind of chilled-out vibe I want when I'm sipping on a cup of caf, looking out over the binary sunset.
