Can Someone Tell Me What This USB Yoda Actually Does?

1:26PM Nick Broughall | I 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? More »

Darth Pumpkin And Yod-o’-lantern

2:20PM Jesus Diaz | Today, reader Jason Lindquist spotted these two at a local shop in Roseville, MN. The Force is not that strong in these pumpkins. Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate the carvers the next time. [Thanks jason]

Leaked Clone Wars Trailer is the New Force Hotness

4:40AM Gizmodo US Edition | Feast your eyes—squinting a bit—on the leaked two-minute trailer that was briefly seen in YouTube and then pulled off just to be rescued at the last minute by a Polish Corvette, saved into an astromech droid, launched onto a desert planet, and found by us in a garage sale somewhere in Kraków. Or something like that. The trailer further shows the work of the three hundred 3D animators who have been working on this project at Lucasfilm Animation for the past three years. And except for its lousy quality it, it seems that we are in for a ride (here’s hoping Mr. Lucas didn’t write the dialog.) More »

The Force is Concealed Within the Yoda Reversible Pillow

8:00PM Haroon Malik | Pillows are very useful, but when they are not offering support or cushioning, they may as well be plushie Star Wars characters. Think Geek’s reversible Yoda and Vader cushions are from that very same school of thought. For $29.99, you can procure a pillow that will ensure you do not suffer from any form of lumbar discomfort following a night’s rest, and on waking, you can then turn the glorified bedding inside out, revealing either Yoda or Vader. You choose. Hell, why not go nuts and get them both? You could even fashion them into friends/partners that care about you! Wow—a friend and an essential bedroom furnishing item, all wrapped up into one product. These truly are crazy times. [Product Page via Shiny Shiny] More »

Yoda, Palpatine Statues Fight It Out in Realistic Miniature

5:15AM Charlie White | Can’t seem to get enough Star Wars? Now here’s a 15-inch altar at which you can worship, with ARTFX Kotobukiya statues of Yoda and Palpatine fighting and shooting sparks out their fingers at each other, and it’ll only cost you $174.99. It’s relatively big, with Palpatine standing 11 inches tall, but whatever that purple shit is coming out of their fingers, we really don’t want to know. Not to worry, though, that scum is removable. Take the jump for a couple of closeups of the Forceful battle. More »
