Save that document and fight the Dark Side.
Light Saber USBs Greetings fellow scavengers! Have you ever been on a PC and needed to save a document and didn't have the means to do so? Well now you can save that document and have a light saber duel with your very own Light Saber USB drive. All you have to do is choose what side of the force you will represent Jedi (Luke's saber) or Sith (Darth Vaders saber). According to I4U.com you can purchase a Japanese Lightsaber USB Thumbdrive at thinkgeek.com $19.99. Make sure to check these bad boys out. May the force be with you.

You Can't Repel a Mascot of This Magnitude!
It's a trap!Word out of the Ole Miss campus is that the University and it's athletic department will be getting a new mascot. University of Mississippi students voted on Tuesday to replace the long-standing mascot named "Colonel Reb" with a yet-to-be chosen one that will better represent the team name "Rebels". If some of the students get their way though, the new mascot may come from a familiar galaxy far, far away. An underground campaign is nominating Return of the Jedi favorite Admiral Ackbar for the position, even giving the noble rebel leader his very own web page to help drum up support. No matter which way the voting goes, my guess is the results will be a bit fishy.

Star Wars closer than we think.
Star Wars today
Ever wonder what it would be like to have the Star Wars universe amongst us today? You know actually having Stormtroopers and Battle Droids as Police Officers, Royal Guards as Secret Service Agents, AT-ATs walking around our cities, etc. Well photographer Cedric Delsaux has created a collection that does just that. His "StArt Wars" collection has Star Wars elements in photos from Dubai. Make sure to check out the write-up on Cedric at ing.com

Stormtrooper Armor Has Never Looked Better!
Shaaaaaa-wing!According to Entertainment Weekly. Sci-Fi worlds will collide this week on Smallville when the character of Lois Lane shows up at a Science Fiction convention wearing Stormtrooper armor. Not exactly sure how long the scene will last or if other Star Wars costumes will pop-up, but judging from the picture to the right, Lois definitely does the armor justice. Someone get her a 501st membership STAT!

Build a Sith...or a Jedi...or a Clone...
Awwwww, how cute!Somehow this one flew under our radar, but it seems that along with the usual puppy, teddy or frog, you can now build you favorite Star Wars character at your local Build-A-Bear Workshop. For $15 you can outfit whatever plush creature you create in officially-licensed Star Wars costumes. The choices include Darth Vader, Captain Rex, Obi-Wan (from Episode III) and Anakin from the animated Clone Wars series. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Vader even come equipped with plush lightsabers. Looks like the perfect Valentines Day gift for the special Star Wars geek in your life has finally arrived!

Use the Fork Luke!
So that's what Sith Lords eat, Tuna!We have all seen some weird Star Wars-related stuff at some point in our lives, but I can guarantee it's nothing compared to what the Pop-Culture nerds over at Entertainment Weekly dug up today. A Japanese commercial for canned tuna that was shot back in 1978 has bubbled it's way back up to the surface via You Tube. All the classic Star Wars characters are there. (kind of) This piece of celluloid history even foreshadows a pivotal scene from The Empire Strikes Back when Lord Vader "invites" Han, Chewie and Leia to join him at the dinner table. Little did we know back then that Vader was actually going to serve them canned tuna.
