Lava lamps erupted in popularity in the 1970s, being a staple of youthful hangouts and a whimsical piece of novelty decor. The lamps provide an eerie source of mood lighting and it's undeniable that the rising orbs of goo are nothing short of entrancing to stare at. Considering that the Star Wars franchise began in the same decade, its only right that the two should combine forces.
The 'Episode VII Galaxy Battle Light' offers fans their own miniature galaxy for their home, complete with phrases like "Join the Resistance" and "First Order" printed on the base. It emits a red light that coats any room in a warm hue that is just bright enough to illuminate spaces. Using Star Wars-themed glitter instead of the traditional filler, tiny ships and iconic characters from the series float around as the lava lamps heat up.
