Sarlaac Pillow Will Eat Your Head

image

Geekdom and soft furnishing collide in a pillow that will digest you over a thousand years.

There's something positively Lovecraftian about the Sarlaac from Return of the Jedi. A ancient creature that dwells at the bottom of a pit - or possibly is the pit - with a disgestive system that takes centuries to finish you off.

So what do you do with a creature that is indescribably horrible? You guessed it, make it plush. Created for the Stitch Wars exhibition at the Bear & Bird gallery in Lauderhill, Florida - located above a comic book store just to make this extra geeky - which opens later this month, and is just one of dozens of pieces.

If they're all as good as this one, and this is very good indeed, it'll be an exhibition worth seeing. I especially want to see all the plush Vaders.

That is possibly the greatest pillow ever invented. Look at that quality.

Wonder if it will actually eat your head? Gotta admit, that would be awesome!

It doesn't really look like the Sarlaac on first impression, but the Boba Fett helmet is a nice touch.

I found myself disgusted yesterday cause Return of the Jedi was on TV and it actualy showed the Sarlaac as a giant worm coming out from the pit. Looked incredibly stupid. The original was so much better when it was just tongues.

Oh, and neat pillow.

That's bullshit, they should have modeled it after the old Sarlaac and not the stupid Special Edition one.

Not a nerd.

At first glance I just thought it was a pillow with an assortment of penny sweets on it

The bounty hunters helmet is a nice touch, but I wonder how large this is? If it's just the size of a normal pillow I'd find on my bed (65cm width x 41cms length x 15cms height, approx.), then I'm not very interested, still impressed but I wouldn't buy it.

EDIT:

Am I the only one who finds this fairly disturbing?

God no.

I never got this, does the sarlac somehow keep you alive for 1000 years to digest you, or does it just take that long to absorb your flesh? And if that was the case, it must be something along the lines of a snake, who would only actually eat once every few years to prevent energy consumption, so why would it allow Jaba to keep throwing things into it to eat? Hmmmm....

I'm not sure if you saw Star Wars, but this happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, so if this is the case, there are good men possibly still being digested out there! God only knows how many sarlac there really are...

Wait, if there's more than one sarlacc, does that mean they're sarlaccs, or sarlacci?

Yes, that would suggest they breed, meaning they must possess the ability to burrow or leave the pit at some point during its life cycle, perhaps Jabba's sarlac stays there because of some degree of domestication?

I don't like it: it looks ugly. Still, it's hilarious to see these fan-made products.

Doesn't look much like the sarlaac. It looks a bit too gynecological for my tastes.

Any one else think that the tentacles look like gummy worms.

Nope, they reproduce by spores.
