A Williams Sonoma exclusive, the Star Wars Pop Mold is a silicone tray featuring molds for three iconic 'Star Wars' characters: Stormtroopers, R2-D2, and Darth Vader. To use the molds, consumers simply have to fill the tray with their choice of fresh juice, fruit puree, or yogurt and then insert a reusable pop stick in each one. After freezing the overnight, the characters can be popped right out of the molds and enjoyed—no warm water needed to heat the tray. As Williams Sonoma notes, the molds are "also great for [making lollipops, chocolates and ice cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets)."
