Star Wars - A New Hope

This week's mug is a special find.  It is a mug I didn't even know existed!  It is a mug which honors the Star Wars Movie Series, with an iconic scene from the 1st Movie, subtitled A New Hope. The mug is 'mechanical styled' to match the Star Wars aesthetic.  On the left side of the mug is the well known icons for Star Wars on a matte grey surface.  On the right side of the mug is a wide band of blue, containing the Robot/Droid R2D2.  

When hot liquid is added, the area to the left of R2D2 clears to reveal the projection message that Princess Leia implanted in the droid to send to the resistance. Oddly the wide band of blue, which stretches almost two thirds of the distance around the mug, is rather deceptive in that there is so much room for the magic effect, and yet so little is really utilized.  

The mug is brand new and the color change is excellent.  Rather than come in a box, the mug comes with a protective plastic sleeve on which is shown the same color change that the mug produces.  In addition, they include instructions stuck to the inside of the mug.
