star wars flash drives: don’t use the force to push ‘em into your usb slot

technabob — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:40:27 +0000

These aren’t the first Star Wars themed flash drives I’ve seen, but they do have the biggest heads I’ve seen on a Star Wars flash drive, so at least they’ve got that going for them.

The bobblehead-esque USB drives feature the likenesses of Darth Vader,Yoda, a Stormtrooper and Boba Fett, and each one stores 2GB of data, which isn’t a whole lot, but should be enough to handle those critical Death Star blueprints.

All four drives are available for pre-order over on Entertainment Earth for $24.99 (USD) each. While they’re not shipping until October, you might as well get started on your holiday shopping really, really early.

force bunt: star wars sports jerseys

Quick survey! Which would you prefer? Sparkly albino vampire vs. dirty raggedy vampire baseball, or Jedi vs. Sith baseball? In other words, are you a young girl or are you an old nerd? Don’t say “both”. Because I have no vampire stuff right now, only these cool Drew Pearson Star Wars jerseys.

These cotton knit baseball jerseys from Drew Pearson Marketing feature the strongest of the strong in Soul Calibur. I meant in Star Wars. The Jedi jersey’s number is done in felt applique,while the letters are in tackle twill with satin stitch embroidery. I don’t know what that means but you might. What’s weird though is that the only available sizes are M, L, XL and XXL. Come on Drew Pearson Marketing. Yoda is XXXS. A bit of respect here.

If you like playing for the dark side, then the Sith jersey is for you. It’s also a cotton knit jersey with all numbers and letters done in felt applique. Both Sith and Jedi jerseys have “official woven loop” Star Wars labels on them. What makes the label official? I don’t know. Trade Federation approval?

The Vader hockey jersey is more Dark Side-y than the baseball one. It has “flaming Vader” graphics, and on the sleeves there are tiny “Sith League” logos set off by metal studs. And on the front is a mugshot of a genocidal man.

For those who prefer a game of hoops, and by that I mean either 2k9 or Live, I have two words for you: Rocket Pack.

All of the uniforms sell for $110, except for the Fett one which goes for $100. There are also football jerseys and a Dark Side basketball jersey. Force click the link below to see them all.

Okay just click the link with your puny mouse.

star wars characters get plush, deformed

There’s no reason that the pillows on your couch have to be square, round or rectangular. Why shouldn’t they reflect your Star Wars addiction like anything else?

These plush versions of classic characters from the Star Wars universe are just too cool. From the squishy R2-D2 to the scruffy Chewbacca and blobby-headed Boba Fett, you need these in your house.

At about 7-inches tall each, I guess they’re not quite big enough to serve as pillows, but they’re great as an accent on your sofa, bed or just lying around your room.

Even one Yoda gets.

The whole collection is available over on Entertainment Earth for about $13 a piece.
