Those tentacles may look soft and harmless, but I’m]]> Another day, another pillow–stuffed examples of geekery are fluffing up all over this week. But yesterday’s RSS pillow’s got nothing on this plush rendition of the sarlacc pit where Boba Fett met his ignoble end in Return of the Jedi.

Those tentacles may look soft and harmless, but I’m not sure I would be willing to put any portion of my body on that thing. Better safe, man. Better safe. I don’t like being digested.

It’s an excellent recreation, though. All fears of being eaten slowly aside, I have to admit it looks great. This pillow is yet another geek craft project from Stitch Wars, the Star Wars crafty exhibition.

We could be talking about the best cookie ever–and these would make the list, if there was a list, and being edible wasn’t a requirement–but if it’s not for eating, it’s a dealbreaker. But maybe you’re less dramatic and will enjoy these Wookiee cookies.

Yes, these are plush cookies inspired by Wookiees that have apparently been squashed into cookie form. This is another product of Stitch Wars, which is fast becoming the go-to event for squishy, fuzzy, slightly disturbing handcrafted items. I’m a fan.

P.S. the Wookiee cookies squeak. They have squeakers.

One part Luke, one part tauntaun, all chilling-in-innards fun. Or, uh, maybe not chilling.

The tauntaun’s belly apparently zips up, to keep poor Luke nice and toasty warm. But does Luke look happy about it? No. But really, would you? We’re talking about bedding down in smelly guts here; you do it if you have to, but it’s not like you YouTube that business with pride or anything.

Poor Luke. You just want to give him a good wash hug.
