Lightsaber wall lamps will geek up any room

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on July 26th, 2010

Look, we all love Lightsabers and we all need some light in our man-caves. This is the perfect geek way to light any room as if it were a Jedi temple. Each wall-mountable light measures 27-inches tall, and has LEDs inside the lightsaber blade which produce seven colorful effects.

Each light includes a remote control, because let’s face it, Jedi powers don’t come easy. They run on 5 AAA batteries, but since they use LEDs, they should last for a long time before they need changing.

Millennium Falcon Guitar rocks the Cantina

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on July 22nd, 2010

We’ve seen some sweet ass guitars round these parts, but nothing compares to this Millenium Falcon guitar. It was created by one Travis S, who knows how to meld guitar with ship like a true master.

This thing may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts. It even lights up just like the real Falcon. Now all he needs is some alien friends with saxophones and he can rock the Cantina with this thing. It is fully functional.

Star Wars Lightsaber pens

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on June 15th, 2010

When writing a letter, you can use good penmanship or you can just trust in the force and leave it to this pen. These Star Wars Lightsaber pens come from a collaboration with Taito and they feature an LED inside that makes it look like a light saber.

These will be available in October for $9.80. They are writing instruments from a more civilized age, before the Sith exterminated all of the Jedi and forced everyone to use email instead.

Furry Wampa Rug

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on May 17th, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I find animal rugs with the head attached to be very disturbing decor. Unless it’s a Wampa of course. As you can see by the image above, it’s great for lounging around on a winter’s night by the fire, with your slave Leia.

The 62 x 30-inch rug is made of synthetic fur and has a non-slip backing. Only $100. Slave Leia not included. Sadly. Besides, that would be mixing movies. No respectable geek would mix an ESB creature with a ROJ Leia outfit. The rest of us don’t mind.

Han Solo in Carbonite Soap

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on April 12th, 2010

Nothing encourages kids to clean up more than a Star Wars themed soap. And this one is pretty awesome. Luxury Lane Soap has a handcrafted Han Solo in Carbonite Stasis soap that just plain rocks. Each one is made by hand and detailed with matte and metallic pigments to give it that authentic Carbonite look.

It’s made with pure olive oil, shea butter and aloe vera and measures 4.2-inches x 2.25-inches and an inch thick. Only $6.50.

Death Star Planetarium

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on April 11th, 2010

You and I both know that you have enough Star Wars collectibles. You probably don’t need another one. But we both know that you are going to buy this no matter what I say. I mean, how often to see a Death Star Planetarium?

You can pre-order it now for $25 and it will arrive sometime during the third quarter. It will help you learn the stars in the Star Wars universe and our own, instead of destroying Princess Leia’s home planet.

Lightsaber nightlight, what took so long?

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on April 7th, 2010

Most kids are afraid of the dark and regular nightlights don’t do much more than create scary shadows, giving them something more to be afraid of. But every kid knows that the ultimate defense against darkness is a lightsaber.

This remote-controlled, wall-mounted lightsaber light can change into seven different colors and can be adjusted using the remote from bed. How awesome is that? You are now protected by a real Jedi weapon. Monsters don’t stand a chance.

Darth Vader wants to stab your books

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on March 28th, 2010

Vader doesn’t like books. When faced with a shelf full of books, he’s been known to violently stab them with his lightsaber. If you feel the same way as I do about the Star Wars prequels, these bookends would be the perfect place for any prequel-related books and movies as they will be stabbed with a lightsaber and left on the shelf.

The light saber is illuminated from the inside, powered by batteries. It’s priced at $49.95 and worth every penny.

Steampunk Stormtrooper helmet

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on March 23rd, 2010

Had Luke worn this helmet when rescuing Princess Leia she would have said, “Aren’t you a little Steampunk to be a Stormtrooper?” It would have been a whole different movie had the Stormtroopers looked like this.

This Steampunk Stormtrooper Helmet is just plain awesome and menacing in a whole different way from the usual sterile white. That top area makes it look as if the Empire has been swapping some brains between troopers too.

DIY AT-AT Cable Tidy

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on March 7th, 2010

AT-ATs can do more than just crush rebellions on Snow planets. They can also help you tidy up untidy cables on your desk. This DIY kit includes space for a surge protector and a detachable remote caddy.

Pretty awesome. But just like the real thing, it can easily be taken down and brought to it’s knees should tiny snowspeeders use those cables to fight back. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen and make a mess of your desk.

Darth Vader disco ball hovers over nerds who can’t dance

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on March 4th, 2010

Look at the mirrored face of evil. Take a good hard look, because Star Wars could have turned out a lot different since it was made in the 70′s, when Disco ruled. Darth Vader could have been just a mirrored disco ball head on top of a polyester Leisure suit, force choking suckers on the dance floor. Thank god Lucas didn’t go that route.

There isn’t much info on this thing, but it was obviously made by nerds who like to shake their groove thing.

Star Wars speakers that look like lamps

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on February 16th, 2010

Meet cylinder-head Stormtrooper and Darth Vader. No they aren’t lamps, despite those heads, they are actually speakers…We aren’t sure why they have the lamp head. We only know that these things are a real disturbance in the force.

Just plug in your mp3 player and play your tunes, while pondering over those huge heads. They don’t even have alarm clocks. I think now we have officially seen everything Star Wars. Hey, they also have round bellies. That ain’t right.

This Millennium Falcon actually flies, has no room for cargo

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on February 16th, 2010

They had to chop away nearly the whole damn ship to do it, but this Millenium Falcon actually flies. And since almost the entire ship is gone, you won’t be smuggling any contraband. We still dig it though.

This 11 by 8-inch Millennium Falcon was released at Toy Fair this year. It’s a must have for any Star Wars fan. The remote-controlled Falcon even comes with a charging controller for the price of $50. And it’s totally easy for any Stormtrooper to disable this bird when it flies away. Just pew pew pew to that fan in the center.

Wake up to Darth Vader’s shadow

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on February 8th, 2010

If you’ve ever wanted to wake up the dark side, now you get your wish with the Darth Vader Shadow alarm clock. It seems like a typical alarm clock, but when it’s time to wake you up it casts the dreaded shadow of Darth Vader on the wall of your room.

Not sure if that will wake you or if you will think it’s just another geek dream though. The clock is battery operated and has a snooze button as well. Just $27.

The R2-D2 mailbox has arrived

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on January 24th, 2010

If you consider yourself a true Star Wars fan, then you will want to check this out. Bigbadtoystore.com is offering an item that will geek up your mail delivery/reception. This R2D2 mail box is available for pre-order on the site for $38.99. A collector’s edition will cost you an additional $2.00.

It just sits there and doesn’t really do anything, but who cares? It’s cool. At least until your neighbors steal it. They don’t say how big it is, but for that price it is obviously on the small side.
