Hasta La Gadget!

Kids don’t want to be Luke Skywalker or Ben Kenobi or even handsome scoundrel Han Solo. Kids really want to be R2-D2. R2 is the man! Well, the ‘bot! Now you can turn your entire upper body into the Astromech droid with this excellent R2-D2 hoodie.

It’s up to you to do the sound effects. And it will be so amazing rolling through your neighborhood looking like R2. Until Jawas spot you and shoot you with a stun gun. It’s all downhill from there.

Just zip this bad boy up and just like that, you are a droid. This hoodie is 60% cotton, 40% polyester and 100% awesome. It will cost you $69.99(USD) from Superherostuff. If you try real hard, maybe you can project a hologram from your eyeball.

These days, carrying a gaming laptop around is not good enough, there is also the status that one wants to show off to the rest of the world. Even with copious amounts of money, you will be unable to pick up the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop which is said to be worth more than a whopping $15,000, simply because this particular gaming laptop is literally one-of-a-kind, being made available to the winner in a sweepstakes that will see the lucky person walk away with this custom-designed Star Wars: The Old Republic Razer Blade gaming laptop. Of course, I suppose one of the more foolhardy millionaires who desperately wants one without leaving fate to chance might just attempt to pry the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop from the sweepstakes winner by throwing a wad of cash in his or her direction, but that’s another story for a different day.

Robert ‘RazerGuy’ Krakoff, president of Razer USA, said, “Star Wars provides the benchmark by which all entertainment media is measured, and the Razer Blade is the standard for true portability, power and innovation in PC gaming. The opportunity to work with LucasArts and BioWare on this fun project is a testament to our common love of great entertainment and ensuring the best possible experience for fans.”

The Razer Blade maintains its insanely thin 0.88” profile despite carrying a 17.3” display that will certainly capture the attention of your eyes whenever you game with it. When merged with an ultra-slim power supply, the entire shebang tips the scales at just 6.46 pounds, now how about that? This is said to be less than 50% that of other gaming laptops in the market, automatically placing it on a pedestal as the lowest profile, lightest gaming laptop of its class. All that power without compromising on style and form factor? It certainly can be said to be a pint-sized killer, just like Master Yoda.

Sporting an SSD (solid-state drive) inside that delivers data up to three times faster than traditional hard drives, the Razer Blade will be powered by the latest Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics processor for blistering performance even at high quality resolutions. Not only that, there will be the inclusion of Razer’s multi-award-winning Switchblade UI that integrates a LCD display/multi-touch panel and 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys, letting you have full control of commands and functions within your fingertips. Feeling lucky?

You know that at first glance, the extremely slim Razer Blade gaming laptop is one device not to be trifled with. After all, it comes with a 17.3” display and is powered by the latest Intel Core i7 processor alongside an NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor to get your gaming kicks in, and yet the entire shebang measures a mere 0.88” thin while tipping the scales at 6.46 pounds. Well, how do you make something that is already special to be even more special? Enter the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop which is literally a one-of-a-kind laptop, and the Force in your bank account should be strong if you want this considering how it costs a whopping $15,000.

It cannot be bought anywhere though, as only one winner from a sweepstakes will be able to pick up this custom-designed Star Wars: The Old Republic Razer Blade gaming laptop – in this galaxy and the next, of course. Of course, the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop does come with its multi-award-winning Switchblade UI that boasts of a unique integrated LCD display/multi-touch panel as well as 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys that ensures you are always in control of the game. The thing is, if you lose in a deathmatch while using the Star Wars Razer Blade gaming laptop, don’t blame the hardware, it most probably boils down to your lack of skill. [Press Release]

Star Wars is popular — that’s about as simple as you could put it. So it’s no wonder that companies and brands are licensing the movie franchise in order to boost sales. Microsoft did it with their Xbox 360 and Motorola with their DROID 2. Rovio has now joined in on the fun and released another teaser trailer for Angry Birds Star Wars that will surely whet your appetite.

The teaser features a short snippet from A New Hope where Han Solo explains to Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi that his Millennium Falcon “made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.” Then, we see an Angry Birds version of the Millenium Falcon which looks to be having a little trouble getting up to light speed, but with the help of a familiar slingshot, the ship eventually gets there.

Obviously, George Lucas failed to realize that a parsec is actually a unit of distance and not time (equal to 3.26 light years or approximately 19.2 trillion miles). We’re not sure if Rovio noticed Lucas’ mistake, but they seemed to just run with it anyway. Sadly, the teaser trailer is all the info we have so far.

However, it could mean the Millennium Falcon will play a critical role in the gameplay, and the slingshot on the back of the ship may suggest that we could soon find ourselves launching angry birds off of the ship’s deck, but we’ll mostly just have to wait until the game’s release on November 8 to find out.

I’m pretty sure the battle of Endor would have turned out differently if the AT-STs had been piloted by cats instead of Imperial troopers. Cats don’t fall for all of those old jungle traps. Plus they would just jump out of the vehicles and claw Wicket and his Ewok friends to pieces.

This AT-ST is a cat house. Not that kind of cat house. A cat play house. For a cat named Buffy. Her owner built her a new Star Wars AT-ST playhouse from left over materials from some home renovations. That’s one lucky cat.

Cat AT-STs would have kicked butt on Endor and they could have been controlled from space, where the second Death Star would shine lasers down on targets and watch these kittytroopers pounce on their targets.
