With Han Solo’s Carbonite form available in the form of ice, it’s about time that the droid from Star Wars got a spotlight in the form of the R2-D2 Ice Tray.
While the X-Wing doesn’t really exist and one half of Star Wars famous droids can’t assist you with any technical matters, he’ll at least keep your drinks as cold as the R2-D2 Ice Tray. The little guy from the sci-fi franchise is now responsible for keeping drinks cold and geeky at the same time. The item comes in five molds in two different sizes that’s perfect for cups in all forms. This would definitely make a great addition to any Star Wars fan’s collection of George Lucas’ beloved trilogy.
