You can make life-sized plush animals (barring ewoks,) you can make terrible Christmas ornaments, and you can make a Star Wars Holiday Special. Of all the ways you can go right, it's an extremely difficult market to break into for movie posters. Everyone in the world who wants a poster either already has one or already has a favorite, and why would they grab a new one with more than 30 years of posters already having been released. Surely the craft has been perfected by now. But I say thee nay, perfection was not done in any of the past three decades, it was done now, by illustrator Tyler Stout.

Utterly Odd Assortment of Star Wars Props Offered Up for Auction
Now, Star Wars items are bought and sold every day.

Coloud R2-D2 Themed Headphones Available Now for $49.90
Coloud is a company that has grown notorious for making over-the-ear headphones interesting again, by not only providing some unique designs, but doing so with a sense of passion.

And instead of just going the easy way, the company managed to give these new R2-D2 themed headphones that bit of attention to detail we've come to expect.

As I said this morning, the tablet wave is really gaining speed, quite a few of the posts today ending up being tablet or tablet related. We've got reviews of both the TV top box Logitech Revue and the Nokia C6-01 smartphone - all this and MORE on The Daily Slash!

It's the start of another wild, weird, and wacky day, with news coming in from Japan that Darth Vader is acting as spokesman for Android, pointing at you, demanding that you buy!

The wave has really started to condense, everyone trying to chew off a piece of the one-sided hunk market that's very much alive and wild this holiday season.

Star Wars Wampa Rug is perfect for in front of the fireplace
Yep, ThinkGeek is my favorite store in the history of stores. I just mentioned that cool C-3PO backpack that will hold an iPad. ThinkGeek also has a sweet Star Wars Wampa Rug that you can toss in front of the fireplace. Geeks don't need no stinkin' bearskin rug. The beast has both his arms so he isn’t the one Luke whacked an arm off of.

ThinkGeek debuts C-3PO Bespin Backpack and it’s awesome
I would bet that 99.9% of you have watched every one of the Star Wars flicks several times. ThinkGeek has unveiled what may be the coolest backpack in the history of backpacks.

Death Star Planetarium puts you in a galaxy far, far away
Perhaps we're just still on a Star Wars high after the Verizon DROID R2-D2 by Motorola dropped on our desk yesterday, but we're eyeing up this Death Star Planetarium and - against our better judgement - wondering if we should pick one up. The compact ball is decorated to look like the Empire's planet destroyer, but actually creates a map of the heavens - either real or according to George Lucas' imagination - on your ceiling.
