I accidentally bought a Star Wars rug.. is it obvious?

I've never seen Star Wars but I only clocked on my order confirmation email that this was from the Star Wars range.

Can someone who has seen Star Wars let me know if it's obvious from looking? Should I return it? Blush

I was expecting to see an Ewok on it. Lovely rug though

HasaDigaEebowai · 25/07/2021 20:22

It’s the type of Star Wars rug an uptight mother would buy her child. “Yes Tarquin you do have a Star Wars themed bedroom sweetie. Its all white just like Hoth and look at your beautiful Star Wars rug!”

DH is a massive Star Wars geek and even he didn't get it until I said it was supposed to be linked to the Mandalorian.

He's the type that collects figures and everything.

I think you're safe OP!

Favourite thread of the day!

Neondisco · 25/07/2021 20:34

I've seen plenty of star wars and didn't see anything in it. Neither did my dp who is a lifelong fan. I reckon you're OK!

This is what their Mickey Mouse rugs look like...!

imamule · 25/07/2021 20:38

Sorry this made me laugh. I opened the thread expecting a design like the credits with writing getting smaller!

How random that they have rug merchandise.

NiceGerbil · 25/07/2021 20:39

Neither DH nor I would have known that and I think we're both pretty au fait with it. Well not the first 3 episodes (second round of films) which were shit!

I think you're ok.

I like it a lot as well

It can be your little secret esp if you have any friends who find films like that silly/ childish/ low brow if/ when they admire it you can laugh in your head Grin

BuddhaAtSea · 25/07/2021 20:42

It’s obvious to me, but I’m a massive Star Wars fan. I would think you’re cool.
I’m a middle aged mum btw.

Dasher789 · 25/07/2021 20:43

I love the rug and this thread has made me Smile

I wouldn't have known it was star wars. Not a big fan but have seen a few films.

Clymene · 25/07/2021 20:48

How do ruggable rugs work? Are they just a thin fabric layer over a fleece under?

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 25/07/2021 20:49

Without comment I've shown DH who is a self confessed star wars nerd. He didn't recognise it as a star wars theme so you should be safe.

CathyorClaire · 25/07/2021 20:51

Never been able to watch a Star Wars film beyond the first ten minutes so I'd never clock that.

It'd have to have Darth Vader and a speech balloon saying 'I Am Your Father' to register with me.

Benjispruce5 · 25/07/2021 20:51

That’s so funny op! I don’t see any references and personally wouldn’t have a clue!

NoYOUbekind · 25/07/2021 20:51

@custardbear

... ok here's the Star Wars rug I've bought my 'big fan' brother for his cinema room ( I know!) Now that's obviously a Star Wars rug 😆
@custardbear that is epic!

OP, you're fine Grin

3luckystars · 25/07/2021 20:52

I love it (the rug).

custardbear · 25/07/2021 20:54

Aaww lots of giod noises about my brothers birthday pressie rug - I hope he likes it lol 😆 otherwise I may use MN marketplace 😆 ... now there an idea 🤔

Noterook · 25/07/2021 20:57

Haha I don't know why but this thread has tickled me!

Magpiecomplex · 25/07/2021 20:57

@Helenluvsrob Not a Zelda rupee, it's a side-on TIE fighter!

PatriciaHolm · 25/07/2021 21:00

Well, that's definitely Grogu in the middle, so I suspect IRL a fan would spot it quickly, but if you like it, stick with it!

PinkBuffalo · 25/07/2021 21:01

I was imagining a star wars themed rug as well big picture of darth Vader or something lol
I have seen the first 6? Films op and I did not recognise it was Star Wars so I think you are ok 🙂

accentdusoleil · 25/07/2021 21:03

Looks like a modern Berber rug

Unihorn · 25/07/2021 21:07

I knew this would be Ruggable! I've been coveting a Disney Ruggable rug since they started selling them in the US and now they're available here I've been so tempted. I can't quite justify the price at the moment unfortunately. The designs can be really discreet!

OhWhyNot · 25/07/2021 21:11

I thought it looked more like Mayan art Blush

Figgygal · 25/07/2021 21:18

I love Star Wars and the mandalorian but I wouldn’t have a clue I even needed to look again a lot after I’d read the description
