# Sci-Fi Cup Concepts This Star Wars Cup from Dave's Geeky Ideas Cleverly Emulates the Death Star By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-03-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-cup References: [davesgeekyideas](http://davesgeekyideas.com/2013/03/13/odds-and-ends/) Dave Delisle's concept for a Star Wars cup is utter brilliance. He creates the likeness of the Death Star with the circular shaping of a cup lid and an altered straw. In his concept, the straw is held together by multiple straws. This structure of straws represents the focused beam of a Death Star ray, but instead of blowing up planets, it will blow your mind and mouth with a delicious and sweet drink. It's really a shame that this Star Wars cup concept was designed for something that is usually temporary in that of a [plastic cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup). It is truly an ingenious concept in both design and representation. Take some notes [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars); drinks with these cups should be sold for the next movie. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Star-wars-themed Cups:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create a line of Star Wars-themed cups, capitalizing on the popularity of the franchise and appealing to fans. - **Innovative Cup Designs:** Businesses can explore creative and unique cup designs, like the Death Star cup concept, to differentiate their products and attract customers. - **Sustainable Cup Alternatives:** There is a growing demand for eco-friendly and reusable cups, presenting an opportunity for businesses to develop sustainable alternatives with distinctive designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can integrate star wars-themed cups into their product offerings, providing a unique and memorable experience for customers. - **Design and Manufacturing:** The design and manufacturing industry can explore innovative cup designs, utilizing creative materials and technologies to bring unique concepts to life. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The eco-friendly products industry can focus on developing sustainable cup alternatives that combine functionality, aesthetics, and environmental consciousness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Show Drinking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars.md) - [Sci-Fi Film Franchise Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picard-tea-cup-set.md) - [Zero-Gravity Space Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-gravity-coffee-cup.md) - [Sci-Fi Coffee Brews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scifi-coffee-brews.md) - [Galactic Cafe Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Star-wars-themed-cafe.md) - [Fantastical Film-Inspired Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-wicked-tumblers.md) - [Sci Fi-Themed Popcorn Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-star-popcorn.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkbox-doughnuts-star-wars-day.md) - [Limited-Edition Sci-Fi Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-x-star-wars.md)
