Star Wars Been There – Mustafar

Posted on

As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, there were three new Star Wars mugs released for the May 4th this year. Here is the first of them: Starbucks Been There – Mustafar mug.

Mustafar is a volcanic planet located in the Outer Rim Territories of the Star Wars galaxy.

Been There – Alabama 2

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Alabama v2 is an updated version of the mug that was released five years ago. I am not surprised that designers removed “the cotton state” nickname from the mug, as it was raising the question of what it has to do with Alabama. Other rather obvious changes include:
– the appearance of a friendly-looking bear and a giant butterfly
