Star Wars Day (May the 4th) is nearly upon us! That’s when the Bad Batch returns in their own series to launch the next wave of Lucasfilm animation. In honor of the day, Disney is already beginning to make its marketing push, as well. From the Galactic Snackin’ Grogu to a “Free Hugs” Chewbacca pin, there’s a slew of family-friendly fun products from which to choose. There are even Star Wars handcuffs!

Wait, what?

Yes, that’s right, now you too can own your very own pair of First Order binders! We’ve seen them a few times in the sequel trilogy, with Poe Dameron modeling them the most. These are no ordinary Star Wars handcuffs, however. According to the website, you can “[b]e ready to take members of the Resistance into custody with these First Order Binders, which feature red and green light effects to indicate if they are closed or open. With a layer of padding inside, your prisoner will have no complaints.“

Disney offers Star Wars handcuffs for May the 4th

Its no surprise that Disney has gone all-in when it comes to marketing the Star Wars sequel trilogy. It has a whole theme park centered in the era, after all (Galaxy’s Edge). But let’s be honest; the First Order just never had the same, menacing feel or the sinister allure of the Empire from the original trilogy. I get that Disney is wholly invested in the sequels, but Star Wars handcuffs? Really? Someone in marketing said “hey, you know what the kids will love? Shackles!”
