This is the way (to cook): Buy beskar steel kitchen knives
By Dan Selcke
In the Star Wars universe, beskar steel is a sacred metal used to forge the weapons used by Mandalorian warriors. It is to be treated with respect and reverence.
In our world, you can use beskar steel to cut onions. Hedley & Bennett have a new line of kitchen-ware inspired by The Mandalorian, which includes kitchen towels, aprons, and beskar steel kitchen knives.
You can shop around for all manner of Star Wars kitchenware at Hedley & Bennet. The beskar knives will run you nearly $300, but they can stop a blaster beam, so you get what you pay for.
New Star Wars Black Series figures
As long as we’re talking about Star Wars merch, Hasbro has dropped four new figures in the Star Wars Black Series line, all of which run $25.

You can shop around for these figures and more on Hasbro’s website.
Get a LEGO ornithopter from Dune
Finally, let’s leave behind the galaxy far, far away and visit the desert planet of Arrakis as seen in the Dune movies. On Arrakis, the Atreides family and others are known to fly around in little flying machines called ornithopters, which is a distant genetic relative of the helicopter that evolved with wings rather than spinning blades. Now, according to IGN, there’s a LEGO version:
What’s more, the set comes with several LEGO Dune figures, including Paul Atreides, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Leto Atreides, Liet Kynes, Duncan Idaho and Baron Harkonnen.
The Baron Harkonnen one is amazing, with that long train. Can I just buy that one for a buck?
Anyway, at 1,369 pieces, this set may be a bit tricky for kids. Check it out on Amazon.
