Can Someone Tell Me What This USB Yoda Actually Does?

Gizmodo AU

LatestBuy-usb-talking-yodaI saw the word “USB”. I saw the word “Yoda”. I reached for my wallet. And then this pesky voice spoke up in my brain and asked, “But what does it do?” And you know what? I can’t answer that question. Can you?

The latest USB peripheral from the guys at Latestbuy, the USB Yoda features a motion sensor (with a 3 metre range, apparently), which will activate him. And when I say activate, I mean he will:

…spring into action – activating his lightsaber and slaying them with 6 different phrases of wisdom or warning:

“In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.”
“A disturbance in the Force there is.”
“Retreat! Cover you I will.”
“Still much to learn you have.”
“So certain of defeat are you, hmmmm?”
“Rush not into fight, long is the war.”

For $40, I was kind of hoping for something more, you know.

    This is cool. But I wouldn’t waste a USB port on it.

    “But what does it actually Do?”
    Do…. Or Do Not. There is No Try. – Yoda
