NEWS – Le Creuset has a Star Wars Collection for you cooks out there who are also Star Wars fans. The above Star Wars Collection Han Solo™ Carbonite Signature Roaster is a 5 1/4 quart roaster that has a lid displaying our beloved Han Solo frozen in carbonite (ahem… actually… enamel coated cast iron). It measures 16″ L x 10 1/5″ W x 3″ H, is dishwasher safe, made in France, and has a lifetime warranty. Han Solo can be all yours from Le Creuset for the tiny price of $450.00. Why $450?

Le Cruset, once the preeminent name in quality cast iron enameled cookware, has lost its soul.
So the Force isn’t with them?
Turned to the Dark Side?
I have some Le Cruset that is over 40 years old, solid French-made and enameled cast iron, that we still use about every other day.
Now? The castings and coating come from China, the Knob on the lid and the final assembly is French and the quality of everything is just not the same.
Now a Han Solo lid? How much did the Mouse charge for that?
