Chop Sabers
Glowing blue (yay!) or red (boo!), these light-up sticks infuse your sushi experience with the power of the Force. And the product page promises: “It is a known fact that eating sushi with chop sabers vastly strengthens your ability to ingest horseradish.” So get at that wasabi, and the Empire. $14.99, thinkgeek.com.

BB-8 rolling luggage
So, Disney went a little nuts with the merchandising … (though Lando’s “Galactic Swagger” tee is pretty sweet). There are treasures to be had, including this gliding hard-shell roller shaped like the droid du jour—BB-8. Just don’t count on it being easy to pick out on the carousel in the near future. $59.95, disneystore.com.

Chewbacca koozie
With rubber insulation and “Wookiee pelt” adornment, this might be the best outfit your beer has ever worn. Brew stays cold, hands stay toasty, and the more you hit the can the better your Chewie impression. $12.99, thinkgeek.com.

Frylo Ren
We’re all eager to see if the new villain can stand up to the awesome scariness of Vader, but if Hasbro’s take on Kylo Ren is an indication, we’re hopeful. When you can make Mr. Potato Head look menacing, that’s something. $19.99, hasbro.com.
