Hasta La Gadget!

You know what’s odd? We never ever saw Darth Vader or any of his Stormtroopers stop for a meal. You’d think battling the Jedi-Rebel Alliance and building Death Stars (yes, plural) would work up a mean hunger. And if you are gonna eat a meal, it better be seasoned well. At a bare minimum, you need some salt and pepper.

I think that it’s more likely that the Jedi would use these Darth Vader and Stormtrooper salt and pepper shakers since they kind of reduce the Empire to a role of simple servitude. Naturally, the Vader shaker holds pepper, while the Trooper holds salt.

So use The Force to open another browser tab and head over to Convenient Gadgets & Gifts to order a pair now for $19.95(USD). Now I want a Darth Maul shaker for my chili powder. And Grand Moff Tarkin for cumin. And Count Dooku for oregano.

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.

Check out this awesome Star Wars toy for rich kids. This life-sized Stormtrooper is coming soon from Gentle Giant. It stands nearly six-feet-tall and is a replica of the original Kenner Stormtrooper toy. It even has the same articulation, so you can pose this thing just like the original.

It was scanned from a mint-condition 3 3/4″ figure and enlarged to life size. This Stormtrooper also comes with an authentic re-scaled blaster. I only wish that I had room for this amazing figure in my home.

You can pre-order it now for $2,300(USD) and it will ship around Q3 2014. This guy is NOT a little short for a Stormtrooper. He’s just the right size.

There have been numerous collectible Star Wars watches over the years, and the latest batch has just found its way across the universe from a galaxy far, far, away. Or at least from the UK.

These new analog watches are made by Zeon and officially-licensed by LucasFilm. The collection include five cool designs whether you’re rooting for the Light or Dark Side of the Force. The line includes a Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, and of course, Darth Vader. As usual, R2-D2 is all alone, and C-3PO is nowhere to be found in the collection. Each watch has a leather band, is water-resistant to 5ATM and comes individually numbered with a velvet-lined box and numbered collector’s certificate.

Naturally, the Darth Vader one is the coolest, with its black case, red face crystal and red accents. It’s also neat that the Skywalker one has a compass built in. Though I’m not sure that would actually to navigate through the Death Star’s trenches.

You can currently find Zeon’s Star Wars watches over at UK shop Great Gear Store for £125 (~$187 USD) each, and they should be making their way to more retailers soon.

Do you have empty spaces on your tree that aren’t filled with geeky ornaments? You could cut out your own paper snowflakes, or you could fill up those empty spaces with these laser-cut, acrylic Star Wars snowflake ornaments.

They’re available in stormtrooper, Boba Fett or Yoda designs. Each ornament measures 4-inches in diameter, is 1/4-inch thick, and is full of geeky holiday joy.

Yoda is available in green acrylic or oak plywood. Don’t worry, I’m sure these ornaments are made from wood that was not harvested from Endor. In other words, no Ewoks were harmed to make these. Or Wookiees for that matter.

You really can’t go wrong with these on your Christmas tree. Especially since they sell for just $5(USD) each over at Light Carving’s Etsy shop.
