Geek Gear: Space Slug Oven Mitt

May 13, 2010 Rich Drees Features

Remember that scene in The Empire Strikes Back when the Millennium Falcon and all aboard almost became dinner for an enormous slug hiding in an asteroid?

Well, now you can get that same slug to help you prepare your own dinner with the Space Slug Oven Mitt.

I can’t tell you too much more specific about it except that its manufacturer states that it is totally safe to use and is made from a fire-retardant nomex cotton blend.

But come on. I don’t think a Star Wars fan has to be a foodie to want this. I’m not even one for lots of Star Wars collectibles and I want one for my kitchen!

The Space Slug Oven Mitt isn’t going to be available until sometime in August, but you can advance order yours over at the Star Wars Shop.
