Hasta La Gadget!

Check out this mixed media Darth Vader, made from all kinds of electronics and gadgets. It looks just like the real Vader – if he were made from circuit boards, PlayStation controllers, Game Boys iPods and mice. It looks amazing and I would love to have this guy on my wall.

The piece was made by Argentina-based artist Elisa Naranja Metalica, who is inspired by all things pop culture. To make her pieces, she uses toys, trash, jewelry, electronics and more. In addition to the aforementioned gadgets, I spy some old floppy disks, cell phones, AC adapters, remote controls and at least one Super Nintendo cartridge.

Elisa has made lots of other awesome mixed media piece as well – like this My Little Junk Pony.

She does amazing work. You can check out her Flickr page to see more. Be sure to check out the hi-res versions for all the detail.

Jeffrey Brown’s Darth Vader and Son and Vader’s Little Princess might be the cutest Star Wars retcon ever. The books feature a caring Anakin looking after Luke and Leia. Gentle Giant Ltd. is going to release a limited edition bundle of the two books, which will include adorable figurines of the Skywalkers.

The Darth Vader and Son sculpture depicts Anakin getting a Rebel Alliance necktie from Luke. It’s not like the Sith would have merch anyway.

The Vader’s Little Princess sculpture sees Leia make heart cutouts out of her dad’s cape.

The bundles will also come with copies of Brown’s sketches plus a full-color illustration printed on board. You can pre-order the bundles right now from Gentle Giant. Both the Darth Vader and his Son bundle and the Vader’s Little Princess bundles cost $150 (USD) each, but you can also get both in one set for $280.

While Darth Vader and his Imperial stormtroopers are officially on the Dark Side of the Force, it doesn’t mean there’s not a little bit of light inside of them. At least that’s the way I’ve decided to interpret these awesome Star Wars inspired mood lights.

Each one of these lamps is illuminated by bright LEDs inside – Darth Vader with red ones, and stormtroopers with white. Since they’re battery powered, they have no cord and can be set anywhere. Heck, you can even use them as a mood light the next time you go camping in the forests of Endor.

Choose from two models – a small light that measures about 5.3″ high or a large one that measures about 9.8″ high. Bigger is always better when it comes to Darth Vader. Just look at those Death Stars.

All four lamps are available from Firebox. The small ones go for about $24(USD) each, while the bigger ones are about $64. So use the Force to open up your wallet, and order one today.

Drink your morning coffee like Darth Vader. As in, don’t bother with a spoon and just use the force to stir your coffee. You will feel like a true Jedi with every Sith you take. See what I did there?

This is an awesome mug for us non-Jedi non-Sith humans since it will make us feel like we are using the power of countless Midi-chlorians to stir our coffee. You will almost feel the Force flowing through you as you watch that dark liquid swirl.

This Star Wars Feel the Force Self-Stir Mug will be your favorite mug ever. It is only $24(USD) from Amazon. As Yoda might say, “Stir or stir not, there is no try”.
