With Star Wars merchandising, it can easily be said, "can you believe they made THAT?!" And to be fair, there have been times when there simply was way too much crap, such as the 1982-1985 period surrounding Return of the Jedi, and in 1999 when The Phantom Menace brought Star Wars back into movie theatres.
Currently there's an abundance of merchandising, and mostly the licensing people from Lucasfilm are doing a good job approving cool stuff for hardcore and casual fans. One of the coolest officially licensed items debuted at the 2009 Comic-Con, Star Wars Chop Sabers.
Currently available in the US for $12.99 per pair from ThinkGeek, you can choose from six different styles. Plus, these make great gifts because who can complain about getting multiples of eating utensils?
