"Star Wars: Episode VII" doesn't come out until next year, but we're already getting excited about it. While the latest "Star Wars" movies can't even be compared to the original ones, obviously, we're still holding out hope for Episode VII.
The original "Star Wars" movies will always hold a special place in our hearts, which is why Star Wars cooking gadgets, no matter how campy, will always hold a special place in our kitchens. We're talking everything from Star Wars-themed measuring cups to lightsaber BBQ tongs. These cooking gadgets make us happy and nostalgic, they make us laugh and they feed our inner nerd. In sum, they take us to a galaxy far, far away.
