Chill Your Beverage with R2-D2 and Han Solo’s Suffering
I’m 99% certain that this incredibly awesome piece of Star Wars merchandise is supposed to be an R2-D2 ice bucket sold with a Han Solo in Carbonite ice cube tray accessory. But I would gladly pay $33 just for a Han Solo in Carbonite ice cube tray, and the R2-D2 ice bucket would be a lovely freebie. Right now it’s only available for order in the UK here, but surely Jesus wouldn’t be so cruel as to deny us Americans the chance to own one of the greatest Star Wars products of all time. Right?

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
