George Lucas loves making a butt-load of money on Star Wars merchandise and everyone under the sun is making money on the iPhone. So it makes sense that Lucas is now cashing in on the iPhone himself. These hard-shell cases will protect your phone in style while alerting fellow geeks that you too love Star Wars.

The cases feature Darth Vader or a Stormtrooper and will fit your iPhone 3G or 3GS. Both the Darth Vader Hard Case for iPhone and Stormtrooper Case for iPhone retail for $29.95. They should ship around December 8th.

We’ve seen our share of Star Wars USB drives, but Etsy seller Alas My Dear has hand made some of the most adorable we have ever seen. These are hand knit Star Wars plush dolls that double as USB flash drives.

You used to fear Vader. Now you’ll want to cuddle up to him on a cold night. The drives cost from $40-45 for 2GB with a $10 4GB upgrade option. There are a few to choose from, like Yoda and slave bikini Princess Leia for example.

Just when you think that you’ve seen it all with the Wii, some Wii accessories can still surprise you. The $50 Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder is just what it sounds like. It holds your sensor bar and makes it look like a lightsaber. Sorta.

So while you are swinging that Wiimote, you can imagine Vader encouraging you to use the force and join the darkside. You of course will shout NEVERRRRR and all of your friends will get scared and leave. It’s not your fault Vader only speaks to you and that no one else can hear him.

We love Lego. We love Star Wars. We also love USB gadgets. Combine all three and you have an instant classic with these Lego Star Wars USB Memory Sticks. These come from an Etsy user from Munich, who has created a whole line of Lego USB peripherals.

Yoda is available along with Darth Vader, and a classic Storm Tropper. They’ve also transformed other Lego bricks into USB keys as well. These cute little mini fig drives will cost you $59.95 and hold 2GB to 4GB of data.

At last you can have your very own Darth Vader robotic arm. It’s good for more than just wielding a lightsaber you know. It can help you grab stuff with it’s opening and closing fingers. Plus you can insert anything you want in it to see what Vader might have looked like while holding it.

Funny stuff, like a bottle of lube, a rubber chicken, a can of Bud, maybe even a hot blond action figure so you can pretend that Vader is King Kong. The kit features 45 snap-together parts that you can use to build it.

The lightsaber has taken many merchandising forms, but this one may be the most practical. This one is Vader’s flashlight stuffed with four bright LED bulbs and authentic sound effects. Sure it won’t slice anyone in half, but it will help you use the force to navigate through darkness.

It measures about 9.5 inches in length and is powered by 3 AAA batteries. So if a nerd gets lost in the dark, you’ll see them coming, swinging away and quoting the movies.

Mimoco is offering up their latest clever Star Wars mimobot flash drives. They are all from the dark side. Both Darth Vader and Clone Rex have removable masks, and one out of six Vaders will have the scarred-up, pale and pudgy face underneath that we all know and love from Return of the Jedi.

Pray you do not get the whiny young Anakin version(As played by Hayden Christenson). That’s the true path to the darkside….And bad acting.

Times have been tough for Lord Vader. After a stunning trio of classic films where he was the ultimate bad guy, Vader was on top of the world. Then he hit rock bottom after three lame prequels, being portrayed as a lame sissy-boy by the highly feminine and over emoting Hayden Christensen.

Sadly, this Back Buddy drives the nail in Vader’s coffin and completes the sissi-fi-cation of the sith lord. This back-pack is so demeaning, even Ewoks won’t fear Vader, but will instead Worship him as the god of cuddly back hugs. It’s wrong. Very wrong.

I can’t think of a geekier way to wake up. Vader should have had the time displayed on his eyes in this fashion throughout all the movies, just to be helpful to others. Because I don’t remember seeing many clocks in the Star Wars universe. In fact, don’t let Lucas see this, or he just might re-edit the whole damn series to include such a thing.

For $30 you’ll get an AM/FM radio and Vader’s head will also act as a speaker for your digital audio player. It’s pretty cool, but what I was really hoping for was to wake up to Vader’s breathing.

If Anakin Skywalker had lived during WWII, this is very probably what his helmet would have looked like. You can easily see a gas-masked Vader carrying out Hitler’s orders. It was made for The Vader Project, which features custom Darth Vader helmets, by Tristan Eaton and AZK ONE. Behold the Darth Vader Gas Mask! You can almost hear the familiar breathing as he breaths in clean filtered air.

The Vader Project is curated by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys. Kelemer and Marks gathered up almost 100 underground and surrealist painters, artists , and designers to participate. Each artist was given a 1:1 scale authentic prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet used in the films. Each artist was free to paint, design, mash up, and customize the helmet.

I’m not sure which is more awesome, this Vader toaster or the old Cylon toaster. Hey, that’s why bread has two sides. Start your day with a breakfast branded with the image of the dark side’s lead spokesperson. As Luke would say, “There’s still good in him, I taste it.” This toaster will cost you $55 and you’ll be cleaning up Salacious Crumbs. How’s that for a bad nerd joke?

Geeks with no Dark lord to bow down to will want to hang this Darth Vader clock on their wall. Then once a day bow down on one knee and ask “What is thy bidding master?”. That’s probably when your mom will sound off from the other side of your door and tell you to do some laundry. That is thy bidding.

This clock is actually kind of sad. Vader just looks silly impaled with clock hands on his forehead. It’s from England’s Wesco Limited and measures over 6 inches tall, features glowing red eyes, and includes a Vader sound effect. It also requires 3 x AAA batteries. It will cost you $34.99 in disposable geek income.

Don’t we always have you covered on the latest Star Wars stuff? Does an ewok poop in the Forest of Endor? Yes and yes. I present to you a Darth Vader that’s been bronzed heavier then George Hamilton in the Bahamas. It’s the work of Lawrence Noble and will cost you $18,000. The limited edition weighs in at 4 feet tall and 150 lbs.

I don’t know what you would do with it aside from admiring it’s bronz-i-ness. I suppose you could kneel before it and profess your love of the dark side and ask your master what his bidding is for you on that day. I guess you could sit it across from a statue of the Virgin Mary and call the news when they both start to cry, then charge for admission. That’s what I would do. Lord Vader is available from the official Star Wars webshop.

Only Darth Vader could be so evil as to offer up a radio/CD player combo in the age of digital music. Such is the dark side. The crappy sound quality will make you suffer, suffering will lead to hate, hate will lead to anger and anger will lead to fear and before you know it you’re the latest Sith apprentice. Still, there’s always something cool about having Darth Vader’s helmet nearby.

And despite the fact that it plays CDs and offers the radio, it does have the option to connect your MP3 player so I guess it’s not all that bad. It’s got six buttons to control the music plus two apparently hidden inside the mouth for some reason. As an added bonus, when you play a CD you can see it spinning in Vader’s eyes with have red LEDs. Requires 6 x LR14 batteries. The price? $88 Yeah, Vader is evil. Am I gonna pay $88 for a CD player? I think not.

This Star Wars Tie Fighter webcam perches on your monitor because it knows about your plans to blow up the Death Star. Thats because the TIE Fighter Advanced X1 webcam is not just a Tie Fighter, it’s Vader’s Tie Fighter.

The pint sized dark side vehicle captures audio, video and images, and also lights up and features digitized sound effects taken directly from the Star Wars movies. Wesco Limited has started production on them, and you can pre-order them now for about $42 USD. This will likely end up in your rain gutter chasing an X-Wing as you pretend it’s the Death Star Trench. You know the force compels you to order one, so hop to it.
