From geekology, This is an oven mitt made to look like a Space Slug from the Star Wars universe. I'm gonna buy one and wear it filled with Vaseline like Curley did in Of Mice and Men.
The worlds of epicurean geeks and Star Wars geeks come crashing together with this Space Slug Oven Mitt. Based on the immense asteroid-dwelling slug who made a brief cameo in The Empire Strikes Back (I'm still not sure how it survived in the vacuum of space) this 12-inch version is made from a fire-retardent nomex cotton blend, which means it should survive rounds from a blaster, or a hot pair of barbecue tongs.
The $20 glove is currently available for pre-order and doubles as a Shrivel Penis with Teeth mitt if you're not into Star Wars.

That reminds me of space slugs.
Which reminds me of this.
It's so cool because that part of Empire doesn't re-e-e-e-ally make sense (when they first fly into the tunnel, there's just no way they're flying into the gullet of that thing; watch it in slomo and it's impossible) but it totally doesn't matter, because the sequences are so magnificent and majestic and exciting. One of the best parts of Star Wars by far. I remember the first time, thinking, "My God, what a crazy universe these movies take place in!" and being totally awestruck.
The implication being that the slugs sleep with their mouths open.
And the Falcon even turned on its headlights! Presumably to guard against flying into bad things in dark tunnels...
