Millennium Falcon toilet seat: why isn't this real?

Back in 2005, High Admiral Enchurito posted this great shoop to the Rebelscum forum depicting a Millennium Falcon toilet lid and a lightsaber plunger-handle. The fact that 7 years have gone by without this becoming reality is a sad comment on the state of our society.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Forget the toilet seat. I want the light plunger.

  Forget the plunger, I want to know why the broom is in the tub!

    I’m wondering what that small brown Dianoga on the left end of the tub is. Mynock dropping?

      On the larger photo you can tell it’s a brush.

  If you need a light plunger, you probably need to add more roughage to your diet.

Replace “why doesn’t this exist?” with “why would anybody think this is a good idea?”

Hmm… I just moved and came across my old, original Millenium Falcon from 1980 which I gave to my son. It’s about the right size, and I’ll be remodeling the bathroom…

  I have a bad feeling about this.

Judging from the size of that bathroom the old Millenium F would be drawing blood every time a wet leg brushed against it.

Talk about your lowly decommissioning. Sort of like the Queen E being used as a garbage scow.

Tangential, but I recently make a coaster set for friends + family that’s related: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/163342_10151272670102286_681418811_n.jpg

OR…perhaps the reality of having a toilet seat composed of lots of tiny cracks and crevices making it nigh impossible to clean properly is just plain nasty. Maybe.

They should consider re-caulking. Or maybe just flooding the place with bleach and burning it.

  I think it’s mostly the lighting in there, pale yellow is such a terrible color for photography.

As the body in charge of cleaning those things in my household I can tell you that only a 2d rendering would be acceptable plus it had better be rendered on something featureless and as solid as all the usual fixtures.

MAYBE in the home of an anal retentive single person with no pets or smoking habits and meticulous behaviour in the bathroom, but still probably not.

Cute but there’s no way I’d use that, I sit on the closed toilet to clip my nails/sandpaper feet/etc.

Oh. “Went”.

Uh Oh – There was just a Disturbance in the Force…
I just had a case of the Kessel Runs, nobody go in the bathroom for 30-40 parsecs

Personally, I think the sad comment on the state of our society is that no one seems to be trying to make anything original anymore. Everything I see is just rehashing 30 year old pop culture.
