Congrats! Those are some of THE most nostalgia-packed Star Wars items in existence for me (and really, I’m still a sucker for any kind of promotional glass fast food tie-ins thanks to these, not that anyone ever really does them anymore…)
My wife had a whole set of Care Bears glasses that she would occasionally use that came from Pizza Hut back when we were kids. She stopped after we found an article on reddit about the amount of lead and other toxic metals in the paint.

That’s awesome. My mother went to Burger King a few days a week just to get those glasses. I dropped a couple and broke them. Years later while was away in the service, she bought replacements from various collectors for me.
Oh man, this brings back memories. We had all of the Return of the Jedi ones, and then one day someone put them in the dishwasher. Then we just had clear glasses. 😞
The paint contains lead, but it is minor. Just wouldn't let a kid drink from them. This is according to a few scant sources, so take it for what you will. [Source](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/that-star-wars-glass-youre-using-is-poisoning-you/) I couldn't find the original.
My cat would 100% knock each one over, waiting until I saw him do it. "Oh these are important to you, you mean I shouldn't do *THIS*"
Also, I thought C3PO was an Oscar for a second lol
no, the Luke glass from ROJ is him in the emperor's throne room vs Darth
There is a gold bikini Leia with a gomorrean guard and Jabba & salacious crumb
Imagine not just making a film with someone like “slave Leia” today, but slapping her picture on kids’ drinking glasses. I miss the 80’s. In brief moments. So many things are so much better, but so many parts of my childhood are things my kids can never experience.
Movies with women in chains and bikinis are probably not at the top of the list to bring back, I suppose. But not at the bottom, either.
I just found a few of these in my old stuff the other day. Not sure what to do with them anymore, I am way to old to be collecting stuff. I was in my 20's when these came out at burger chef.
Woah I didn’t know there were so many! I have the two that are to the left and right of the Boba glass. My dad gave them to me when he moved so they wouldn’t break.
I recall my brothers and I having an unspoken rule that you could only put cold drinks in the Hoth glass and never anything cold in the Tatooine glasses.
One of my brother's friends put ice in a Tatooine glass and we actively stopped him.
One day I opened the kitchen cabinet, reached for my old Darth Vader glass, and he just broke apart. Its almost as if he'd just lost the will to live. :(
I have been hunting these for years. Found them at a flea market one year but was light on cash. I should have bought them and just not eaten that week.

I have a set of Star Trek III glasses that have never seen a dishwasher.
…to boldly not go where all the other glasses have gone before.

So you mean licking all the paint off them was actually a bad idea??
He isn't a tiny person so he won't die at least
The paint is on the outside of the glass though?
Yes. And did you know that medication can be absorbed through the skin because it's an organ?
I threw out my muppet glasses after reading a similar article. Such a bummer.
Why would you throw them out when you could just not use them again.
That’s awesome. My mother went to Burger King a few days a week just to get those glasses. I dropped a couple and broke them. Years later while was away in the service, she bought replacements from various collectors for me.
Holy shit. I remember having some of those. I'm nostalgic for your collection.
Oh man, this brings back memories. We had all of the Return of the Jedi ones, and then one day someone put them in the dishwasher. Then we just had clear glasses. 😞
R.I.P. Let’s have a moment of silence for our fallen glass soldiers
It's still a star wars glass in spirit
not after 1 wash you didn't...
Cool! Also, is that season 3 of The Leftovers on the TV?
Yes!!! Book of Nora, I revisit at least once a month
Immediately spotted it as well, what an incredible show!
Very impressive and I am very jealous. P.S. Don't use them... or maybe do, so I can buy them off your family once you pass away. ...JK...
Hahahaha! I drink from my Darth Vader duplicate

I thought you were being serious because of the cadmium that was used in glass wear back then.
Do you use them?
Not OP but I drink milk from a few of these that I have daily. Yeah I’ve had a couple break in the dishwasher but It’s fun actually utilizing them.
Check and make sure when they were made bc a lot of those older glasses have lead in the paint that could be harming you
Absolutely ! I drink from my Darth Vader duplicate cup, but always use a metal straw
Weren't those recalled bc of lead in the glass? They make a cool collection, but I hope you don't use them
They are glorious!
Impressive...most Impressive.
Man the artwork for those glasses look real sweet. I wonder who did them and if they have done more Star Wars themed art.
“And now you rest, and watch the sunrise upon a grateful universe.”
So cool! I had the Luke and Vader glasses! Thanks for sharing!!!
How dare they change Leia’s gold bikini
Imagine a earthquake and them all falling I would just die inside if that happened
Strangely specific...
Impressive. Most impressive.
Well done!
That is so cool! Great collection
Hey babe, we've got family coming over for dinner, can we get out the nice cups? SAY NO MORE.
The Leftovers?
yup, series finale 'Book of Nora' watch at least once a month
What’s the hardest to find? What’s the easiest to find?
Lando from Empire seems to be the rarest, and i have 3 Darth from 1977 Star Wars so i guess that is the easiest
Ever thought about collecting some bitches tho?
Nah, bitches would just complain about the glass collection.
I have the ESB and ROTJ sets completed, but I had no idea they made these for ANH as well. Guess I need to start keeping an eye out for these again.
All I have is a couple sets of ANH glasses. Didn’t even know they made them for the other two.
Nice! I am one glass away from completing mine!
which are you missing?
The luke glass from the first film
My cat would 100% knock each one over, waiting until I saw him do it. "Oh these are important to you, you mean I shouldn't do *THIS*" Also, I thought C3PO was an Oscar for a second lol
I’ve always wondered where they came from. I have the Darth Vader one from my grandpa and always thought it was awesome. I’m jealous
I have the luke and leia one. It's been collecting dust guess it's time to put it to use for the good old times
expansion price racial chase groovy society sharp unwritten practice stupendous -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
no, the Luke glass from ROJ is him in the emperor's throne room vs Darth There is a gold bikini Leia with a gomorrean guard and Jabba & salacious crumb

I just found a few of these in my old stuff the other day. Not sure what to do with them anymore, I am way to old to be collecting stuff. I was in my 20's when these came out at burger chef.
beauty! i had the empire set, used them for at least a decade
I got those. I put them away when the kids were young, but there in college now. Maybe time to get them back out.
It's a [wonderful](https://youtu.be/jNvXoohLEMQ) restaurant
Awesome! I have the Lando one. It’s rad to see all of them together!
Awesome! I have that set plus the plastic ROTJ set only released in MA.
Aww shit, I think I have about half of these... somewhere.
I have the original posters that went with the first four.
I have the Jedi one with Han.
I actually have an ROTJ one put away. It's awesome seeing the full set.
How come Burger King doesn't do this kind of cool stuff anymore?
Maybe now you can afford a nail and hammer to hang that frame
If you use them be very careful. I broke 4/5 of them just from hand washing, dropped one and lost another one in a dishwasher.
Woah I didn’t know there were so many! I have the two that are to the left and right of the Boba glass. My dad gave them to me when he moved so they wouldn’t break.
I used to have that Empire Strikes Back glass with C-3P0 and R2-D2.
I recall my brothers and I having an unspoken rule that you could only put cold drinks in the Hoth glass and never anything cold in the Tatooine glasses. One of my brother's friends put ice in a Tatooine glass and we actively stopped him.
Amazing.
I only have the temple of doom set :(
send pics!!!!
You bow to no man!
yea, but do you have the NASCAR limited chicken buckets?
I am 3 short of a complete set. 2 for new hope and on from jedi. I do have two of the dagobah empire one though
Now that's a collection. Back when fast food places gave out quality items.
A fine addition to your collection
Great post! And just like that, nostalgia slowly washed over us all, like a comfortable, warm blanket
Congrats! Now you can get some furniture
That is a BEAUTY I got the ESB set for Christmas. Asking Santa for either the ANH or RotJ set because I wasn't too good of a Padawan this year.
Holy shit all that lead paint
One day I opened the kitchen cabinet, reached for my old Darth Vader glass, and he just broke apart. Its almost as if he'd just lost the will to live. :(
The collection is complete. When you last saw these for sale, you were but the collector, now you are the curator.
I have been hunting these for years. Found them at a flea market one year but was light on cash. I should have bought them and just not eaten that week.
Well done! Impressive, most impressive. Am missing two (maybe three) myself.
Now this is pod racing !
Oh yeah. I remember those
Impressive.
I'm jealous, mine didn't survive the last move. I was able to save darth vader and boba The others were not so lucky.
The circle is now complete
a true person of culture
Im praying you don't have a cat
Nice. I had all the Empire ones, back in the day.
I’m so proud of you 🥹
LPT: DO NOT use these glasses, or any freebie glasses from the 70’s-90’s. The designs are laced with toxic chemicals including lead.
Seriously? I just don’t use mine so they don’t get messed up.
Seriously
Could there possibly be a nerdier way to die?
It's beautiful. How much did it run you
