Live from the swamps of Dagobah, it’s everyone’s favorite Jedi on the mic: Master Yoda! If you ever felt that his wise words would be enhanced by a trippy remix then: Listen, you must.

Whether you’re on the Light or Dark Side of the Force, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Candy is good. Now, thanks to the confectionery makers of Japan, you can have your lightsaber and eat it too.

These new Pocky stick candies from Glico measure 8 inches-long, so they’re more like breadsticks than candies. They’re available in a three flavors to satisfy your sweet tooth, including Yoda’s green tea, Sith strawberry and Goofy Skywalker grape.

While they’re not officially available here in the states, you can find packs available for sale up on eBay for around $8 a box.

Glico is also offering a variety of other Star Wars inspired foodstuffs including some sort of Yoda and Darth Vader rice dishes:

Yes, the Borg is a hive mind entity. But even so, there must be some mastermind behind the hive mind. Who could have orchestrated the attack at Wolf 359? Who is powerful enough to lead the Borg? It can only be one being. Jedi Master Yoda.

Futile, Resistance is. This Star Wars/Star Trek tattoo mashup was inked by Tara Quinn from Texas. Strangely, Yoda doesn’t look all that happy about being part of the collective. They must have caught him by surprise and used his powers to coordinate the entire Borg collective and make them smarter.

Judge me by my tatt do you? I knew that the Borg must have had help.

If you’re a fan of the Star Wars franchise, you’re probably very excited that Disney is bringing out more movies in the franchise after purchasing Lucasfilm. I only hope the new films have more in common with the original trilogy then the prequels. Word has surfaced from Disney CEO Bob Iger that in addition to the new trilogy, standalone films focusing on individual characters will be coming as well.

According to rumors, the first of the standalone Star Wars films will focus on Jedi master Yoda. I think this is a great idea allowing us to see more of what went into our favorite movie characters becoming who they are. I would love to see a film that focuses on Boba Fett and one for Han Solo too.

Iger has said that Disney plans to make Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII, and IX over approximately 6 years with the first film due in 2015. The standalone films will come during that same period releasing between 2015 and 2021. I can’t wait for these new movies to come to theaters.

You’d think that a story about an origami Yoda would be a first, right? Well, the world being what it is today, it turns out that our very own Lambert Varias wrote about an origami Yoda last year. But I think this one has got the original beat like Yoda beat down Darth Maul – so take that, Lambert!

This detailed Yoda sculpture was hand-folded out of a single sheet of paper by James Lucas, based on a design by Fumiaki Kawahata. How can that be one sheet of paper, you ask? It’s actually a sheet of tissue-foil paper with green on one side and ivory on the other, that’s how.

Yoda stands about 6″ tall, and is covered with a layer of waterproof spray lacquer, which should keep him in good condition – though I still wouldn’t leave him out in the Dagobah swamp for long. Order origami Yoda over on Etsy for $55 (USD) you will.
