It appears that the Empire and the Rebel Alliance are at it again. After taking over our backyard cookouts, the Star Wars franchise has inspired Onnit to develop a new force in fitness equipment for those training for the galactic war.

Themed workout equipment is a fun way to fuel extra motivation in the weight room. With Star Wars fitness gear — kettlebells, a slam ball, and a yoga mat — you can kick your workout regime into hyperdrive.

Each item is available for pre-order here, but, before you go, let’s take a look at the arsenal.

A slam ball is a weighted fitness ball that can be used in a variety of high-activity exercises designed for gaining explosive power and speed, like that of your Jedi heroes. This 20-lb slam ball is made of incredibly durable polyurethane rubber, so you won’t have to worry about someone blowing up the Death Star this time around. This is the ultimate piece of Star Wars fitness gear.

Han Solo Yoga Mat, $65

This reversible, heavy-duty exercise mat shows the iconic image of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. Enjoy some non-slip grip and moisture-absorbing technology when trying to bust out that last set of ab workouts (because we all want to avoid looking like Jabba the Hut).

Star Wars Kettlebells

These custom-sculpted iron kettlebells are not only essential weapons for getting a full-body workout, but they will strike fear into fellow gym rats when they try to swoop in on your space. They’re available in three different weights for an expanded range of routines:

  • Darth Vader 70 lbs, $200
  • Stormtrooper 60 lbs, $180
  • Boba Fett 50 lbs, $150

More of a Marvel fanatic instead? Onnit also has a sweet collection of Marvel-inspired workout gear, as well as a line of beastly kettlebells that work their way up to Bigfoot status.

The 6 best Super Bowl commercials of all time (and the 5 worst)
What's your favorite Super Bowl commercial?
Watching the Super Bowl on TV

If you're watching the Super Bowl, you're likely interested in at least one of at least three different things. You might be watching for the game itself, which is often exciting and is the culmination of months of football. You might be watching for the halftime show, which also varies in quality but is always worth discussing. Or, you might be watching for the Super Bowl commercials (you could also just be hanging around for the food).

Personally, it's some mixture of all three for me. The ads are definitely a draw, though, and it can sometimes be just as entertaining to see a massive campaign crash and blur in real time, as it is to see something brilliant.

Fox is planning to launch a streaming service before the end of 2025
The company already owns the free streaming service Tubi
The Fox Logo.

As streaming has become a more integrated part of the entertainment ecosystem, almost all of the big broadcasters have launched some form of streaming service where you can watch the year's biggest events with a subscription. The last major holdout was Fox, which still broadcasts many things exclusively for cable subscribers. Now, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch says that a Fox streaming service is coming, but added that the service was meant to attract people who don't have a cable subscription, not replace the cable bundle.

“We’re huge supporters of the traditional cable bundle, and we will always be,” Murdoch said. “But having said that, we do want to reach consumers wherever they are, and there’s a large population that are now outside of the traditional cable bundle — either cord cutters or cord nevers.”
Murdoch added that his expectations for the user base for the service are "modest," and explained that the subscription cost will be priced accordingly. Fox already owns the free streaming service Tubi, which will air the Super Bowl for the first time this weekend.
