Get Ready To Crack Some Nuts With R2-D2 and Darth Vader

‘Tis the season. Holiday time means the nutcrackers come out, and everyone can get really frustrated about how difficult filberts are to crack open again. Good times! You might even go see the Nutcracker ballet. But how much better would the Nutcracker be if it featured lightsaber battles and droids? A lot better.

You can dream, at least. You can also grab these wooden R2-D2 and Darth Vader nutcrackers. They’re both officially licensed, so they might even have some collectible value someday. Or, you can just have fun using Darth to annihilate a walnut like it was Alderaan. These are pretty high quality wooden figurines, so they won’t exactly come cheap. Darth will run you £34.99, or about $55, while R2D2 will cost £32.99, or about $52. The force is strong with these ones.
