Corrupt your children early with this Chewie outfit

Abby McVay, May 1st 2007 Discuss [0]

Alright, I know this isn’t exactly a gadget but you can categorize this under baby geek. It’s not enough that we are geeks, we must subject the younger generation to the geekiness within. Check out these outfits for the Star Wars shop for your baby. Well you see the Chewbacca Costume; however, what you don’t know is that there are more. They also have Yoda and Princess Leia. If you do dress your child up in one of these you might find it necessary to send them to baby self defense classes to ward off any narrow minded babies that don’t know what cool is. The great thing is that these won’t break your wallet either; they are priced at $20.99. Baby Chewie outfit [via Wonderland]

We've covered umbrellas that resemble something out of Star Wars before. However, I don't think it was intended to look like a lightsaber. Here's an umbrella that tries to do just that. Read The Full Story

George Lucas goes postal

Someone at the USPS must fancy the Star Wars movies as much as I do. First the R2-D2 mailboxes, now special edition Star Wars stamps. What next, the mailman dressing up as Obi-Wan Kenobi? Probably not. Read The Full Story

The force is not strong with this one

Chris Scott Barr, Feb 1st 2007 Discuss [0]

I have something to admit to all of you. I'm a Star Wars geek. There, I said it. Now that I've gotten that off of my chest I've finally found an excuse to walk around all day with a lightsaber attached to my belt all day. I'm talking about a combination lightsaber and mp3 player. Ok, maybe it would be just a little much even for me to walk around with this on my hip all day. At the time of writing, I'm not sure that this is an actual product. But the prospect of such a product was too good not to write about. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if George Lucas were to put his stamp of approval on it. Seriously, the man thought Jar Jar Binks was a great idea. MP3 Lishtsaber Should Stay at Home [via Crave]
