'Star Wars' Lightsaber Flatware Brings The Force To Dinner

Have you ever sat down to dinner and stared at your flatware, wishing it weren't so boring? If so, ThinkGeek has just the solution to make mealtime a lot more interesting, at least if you're a Star Wars fan.

The company recently introduced its Star Wars lightsaber flatware collection, featuring a fork, spoon and knife, giving you everything you need to dig into this month's holiday meals.

"Make every meal a little bit more more civilized with this set of three utensils featuring lightsaber handles," writes ThinkGeek on its website. "The fork features Luke's lightsaber hilt, the spoon features Yoda's, and the knife features Vader's."

The site also wrote that it didn't deliberately associate lightsaber hilts with particular characters, but those familiar to the Star Wars universe probably still think a knife best suits Darth Vader. However, please note that these utensils do not light up and aren't real lightsabers. Don't worry, though, because you really can eat with this fork, spoon and knife: that part of the utensil is stainless steel. However, you'll have to wash the flatware by hand when you're done, because they're not dishwasher-friendly.

The Star Wars lightsaber flatware retails for $15, meaning that a full set for a four-person family runs around $60.

If you're looking for the perfect place setting, match the flatware with these Star Wars plates, making you all set for the holidays, or rather, more importantly, the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The flatware set is a ThinkGeek exclusive, so you won't find it anywhere else. The company also offers a set of lightsaber chopsticks that light up, making your time with sushi a completely new experience. Those come in two varieties: Luke and Vader.

ThinkGeek also offers lightsaber BBQ tongs that come complete with lightsaber sounds. There's also a Darth Vader lightsaber BBQ fork, because nothing says Vader like stabbing at meat.

Don't worry, though, because breakfast has also met the Dark Side with a Death Star waffle maker. Because, apparently, waffles are evil. Of course, you won't get your hands on that waffle maker until after the holidays: ThinkGeek sold those out quickly, and new stock won't arrive until February 2016.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters on Dec. 18.
