It appears that the Empire and the Rebel Alliance are at it again. After taking over our backyard cookouts, the Star Wars franchise has inspired Onnit to develop a new force in fitness equipment for those training for the galactic war.

Themed workout equipment is a fun way to fuel extra motivation in the weight room. With Star Wars fitness gear — kettlebells, a slam ball, and a yoga mat — you can kick your workout regime into hyperdrive.

A slam ball is a weighted fitness ball that can be used in a variety of high-activity exercises designed for gaining explosive power and speed, like that of your Jedi heroes. This 20-lb slam ball is made of incredibly durable polyurethane rubber, so you won’t have to worry about someone blowing up the Death Star this time around. This is the ultimate piece of Star Wars fitness gear.

Han Solo Yoga Mat, $65

This reversible, heavy-duty exercise mat shows the iconic image of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. Enjoy some non-slip grip and moisture-absorbing technology when trying to bust out that last set of ab workouts (because we all want to avoid looking like Jabba the Hut).

Star Wars Kettlebells

These custom-sculpted iron kettlebells are not only essential weapons for getting a full-body workout, but they will strike fear into fellow gym rats when they try to swoop in on your space. They’re available in three different weights for an expanded range of routines:

  • Darth Vader 70 lbs, $200
  • Stormtrooper 60 lbs, $180
  • Boba Fett 50 lbs, $150

One ‘Harry Potter’ franchise director has weighed in on the HBO reboot
The director was responsible for the first two installments in the original franchise.

From 2001 to 2011, the Harry Potter franchise was one of the most dominant ongoing franchises in Hollywood. The final installments seemed to cement the franchise as the definitive version of this story but in an era filled with reboots, it was only a matter of time before they came for Harry Potter. As casting news continues to leak out about the new Harry Potter series that HBO is developing, one of the original franchise's directors has weighed in on the new version of the story.

"The fact that they have the leisure of [multiple] episodes for each book, I think that's fantastic," director Christopher Columbus told People. "You can get all the stuff in the series that we didn't have an opportunity to do ... all these great scenes that we just couldn't put in the films."

The 8 most popular Netflix shows ever, based on record-breaking viewership
Stranger Things and Squid Game headline Netflix's height
An early look at Squid Game season 2.

The Nielsen ratings used to be the gold-standard measurement of TV popularity. Programs like M.A.S.H, The Cosby Show, and All in the Family dominated the weekly numbers with tens of millions of viewers tuning in. As streaming took over in the 2010s, these rating systems started to become obsolete for some of the biggest shows on the planet. But how does a company like Netflix determine what show is most popular?

There is data for both the number of viewers and the number of hours viewed that Netflix has published on its Tudum site. The numbers are for individual seasons of TV, not for total views across several seasons. This means that the most popular Netflix shows might be the same ones over and over, just for different seasons. These are the eight most viewed seasons in Netflix history to binge-watch and enjoy.
