The Star Wars epics can now enter any fan's home, and this time not through the power of multimedia, but rather sci-fi themed shower heads. These appliances mimic characters from the space series -- the full body of beloved droid R2D2 and the looming head of Darth Vader.
With holes for water to spray from, the heads aren't just kitschy, they also have three different spray settings to provide users with a nice relaxing rinse while staring into the empty sockets of villainous Vader. Darth even has a setting that makes it look like he is crying. The pair of themed shower heads only differ in that Darth has a handle to detach and spray easier, while the R2D2 model is fastened onto the shower's faucet. Whether it makes shower time for kids easier and fun, or simply spices up a grown adult's day -- -- users will reach a new level of closeness with these intergalactic characters.
