			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Force is sure to help your game with these bowling balls featuring the likeness of iconic <em>Star Wars</em> characters.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4901 aligncenter" title="darth_vader_bowling_ball" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/darth_vader_bowling_ball.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re Jedi or Sith, there&#8217;s a ball for you. While I think it would be fun to show up to league with Darth Vader bowling bag, you might prefer the grimacing visage of Jedi Master Yoda.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4902 aligncenter" title="yoda_bowling_ball" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/yoda_bowling_ball.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Or maybe you can&#8217;t decide which side you&#8217;re on, and would rather go for the showdown between Anakin and Obi-Wan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4903 aligncenter" title="anakin_obi_wan_bowling_ball" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/anakin_obi_wan_bowling_ball.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Brunswick makes these officially licensed <em>Star Wars</em> bowling balls under their <a href="http://www.brunswickbowling.com/viz-a-ball2">Viz-a-Ball</a> brand, which features limited edition graphics ranging from Scooby Doo to the Three Stooges to the Clone Troopers heading off into battle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4904 aligncenter" title="clone_trooper_bowling_ball" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clone_trooper_bowling_ball.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are also balls featuring C-3PO, Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Leia and Amadala among others. Han Solo and Chewie fans are out of luck, though. Personally, I wish they did one where the whole ball was painted like the Death Star.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4905 aligncenter" title="star_wars_bowling_balls" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/star_wars_bowling_balls.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="453" /></p>
<p>You can find the whole Viz-a-Ball series bowling balls (including the Star Wars ones) over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=%2Fgp%2Fsearch.html%3Fbrand%3DViz-A-Ball%26node%3D3375301&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for $90 to $120 each.</p>
<p>Of course, if you were a REAL Jedi, you&#8217;d just use your <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Telekinesis">Force Push</a> to knock all the pins down with a wave of your hand.</p>

<ul>Each lightsaber features a variety of cool effects, including:</p>
<li>glowing blades with sliding power-up/down effect</li>
<li>sound effects digitally recorded from the movie</li>
<li>motion sensor controlled sound effects, Power-up, idle hum, clash, and power-down</li>

</ul>
<p>The come in 5 varieties, including: Darth Maul &#8211; DUAL Red Blade &#8211; $199.99 USD; Darth Vader &#8211; Red Blade &#8211; $99.99 USD; Anakin Skywalker &#8211; Blue Blade &#8211; $99.99 USD; Mace Windu &#8211; Purple Blade &#8211; $119.99 USD; and Obi Wan &#8211; Blue Blade &#8211; $119.99 USD.

<p>If only the &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKt4EhTXrCI">Star Wars Kid</a>&#8221; had one of these instead of a golf ball retriever, maybe he wouldn&#8217;t have looked like such an idiot. (Oh, who am I kidding, he&#8217;d still look like an idiot.)</p>
