Why we didn’t see these Star Wars iPhone cases 2+ years ago when the iPhone launched is beyond me, but nonetheless they’re here.  For $30 you get a hard shell case (fits 3G or 3GS only) with either Darth Vader or a Storm Trooper’s face adhered to the back.   Ships December 8th -  just in time for Xmas. …Continue reading: Storm Trooper And Darth Vader iPhone Cases

How sweet it is.  To finally trump the Garden Nome comes the awesome Lawn Jawa.  Crafted from a high quality solid plastic resin, this fully painted Jawa will stand guard no matter what the weather forecast.

Standing at a foot tall, only Star Wars purists will be able you if this Jawa is to scale or not, but I don’t care-I like this little guy no matter how “historically” accurate he is.

It actually reminds me of those tiny cross-dimensional beings from the Phantasm movies.  The Tall Man!

You can pre-order this Lawn Jawa now for $35, and it will ship on December 9th.

The ever so memorable scene from Star Wars when Luke blows up the Death Star for the 1st time can soon be yours to control anywhere you go.  It could be a great way to impress a young lady at a bar,  or perhaps even start a riot at a Trekkie convention.

THQ will be releasing Star Wars Trench Run for the iPhone and iPod Touch.   The game will used tilt based controls and with no price or actual release date set, I can’t imagine the game being over a few dollars.  But after watching the video below it seems like a very short game so that may warrant a very low price tag.  We’ll see.

Redefining quality Star Wars products seems to be a top priority these days for Marc Ecko.  The newest entry is his line of Star Wars inspired watches from Timex and they actually look pretty cool.

These pictures are merely serving as a teaser and pricing and availability has yet to be announced.  I’d expect that there are more pictures to surface soon, cuz you know there’s a hairy Chewbacca watch for sure.  An R2D2 would also be an easy one too. …Continue reading: New Star Wars Watches By Marc Ecko And Timex

Since Star Wars is pretty much the epitome of geek, and geek is gadget I figured why not.  Pictured above is the day in the life of a Storm Trooper.  It’s odd that Storm Trooper babies have holes in their legs, or perhaps that’s a Lego model. Cute.

What a great gift idea for kids who have Star Wars fans as parents.  Featuring four of some of the most iconic Star Wars characters, each one (with the exception of R2D2) makes a associated noise upon being squeezed.

Chewbacca makes his famous wookie holler, Darth does his heavy breathing thing, and Yoda rattles off some incoherent babble.  No clue as to why R2D2 has nothing to say.  Maybe that’s why he/it is cheaper.  The other three go for $25 and R2D2 goes for $20.

We’ve all become familiar with the ‘video game console inside a joystick’ thanks to Urban Outfitters, and I think its fair to say that the idea has officially piqued with this one: the Jakks Star Wars Original Trilogy TV Game. Packed inside the Millennium Falcon shaped controller are 4 action packed adventures: Assault on Hoth, Red Leader, Battle of Endor, and Lightsaber Duel.  You can grab one now for about $40.

With little to no fanfare, the Star Wars Force Trainer mind game is now officially on sale. ThinkGeek has it for $120, which is considerably more than Mattel’s offering, the Mindflex. But unlike its closest competition you won’t have to wait until October to show off your family’s Jedi like abilities and you’ll see just how quick your kid gets bored of starring at a $120 floating ball.

My advice: save your cash and get your kid Tony Hawk’s RIDE

Generally speaking, most movie inspired beds are planted firmly on the ground, as most sleeping apparatuses should be.  A father, who clearly has an obsession with all things Star Wars is reliving his childhood vicariously through his kid by constructing an almost to scale, floating Y-wing bedroom platform.   It even includes phaser burn marks.
