The World Makes Sense Again: Pittsburgh's Iconic Star Wars Vending Machine Has Been Returned To Its Original Spot, And It's Glorious
Yinzers rejoice.
A few months ago, the Mount Washington neighborhood of Pittsburgh lost a vintage Star Wars vending machine that had been a mainstay of the community for decades. It was taken by a content creator named Braeden Days, who replaced it with a temporary dummy machine, as he pledged to spruce up the original machine and renovate it after years of malfunctioning.
Welp, after a trip to Los Angeles and back, Braeden Days has finally returned the OG vending machine to the sloped sidewalk of Virginia Avenue.
And it looks even cooler than it did before. This thing is fucking sick.
It lights up now! What an absolute beauty to behold.
And by all accounts, it's fully operational now, too. It's even got a new button on the exterior labeled Jar Jar Juice. So you better believe I'll be going back to Pittsburgh soon to try and figure out whatever the hell that is. The machine didn't work the last time I was there, and I was pissed. But the next visit will be nothing sport of spectacular.

I mean, this is legitimately something that people travel hundreds of miles to see. Star Wars fans will go on full-blown pilgrimages just to visit this relic, and it was a massive fucking deal when it was taken away. So I'm thrilled that it's back in its rightful home and in even better shape than it was before.
Shoutout Braeden Days. Promises made. Promises delivered.
