Thirty-five years ago, Return of the Jedi took Star Wars fans to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where Jabba the Hutt attempted to execute Luke Skywalker and Han Solo by dropping them into the belly of the sarlacc. Even in 1983, this monstrous hole in the desert was enough to give anyone a teeth phobia. Plus, the sarlacc ate Boba Fett, and we’ve never forgiven it for that. But now, some enterprising fan has created a sarlacc pit themed pillow…for very young children. Because if you’re gonna traumatize someone you love, you might as well start early.
Via Laughing Squid, the Pit of Carkoon Play Mat Floor Pillow Lounger was created and sold by the Bed Hog Shop. According to the description, it’s intended for toddlers and newborns, presumably before they’ve had a chance to realize that they’re sleeping on the mouth of a grotesque monster.
Nope. Not disturbing at all. This looks like a pre-Special Edition sarlacc, so the extra beak is gone and the tentacles are absent. But there are so many teeth. Too many teeth.
If you were hoping to pick this up for your child, you’re out of luck for now. The Bed Hog Shop is sold out of this item, but it has a few additional Star Wars inspired pieces that may catch your eye. And none of the other designs look like nightmare fuel.
