There’s nothing cute or funny about being frozen for eternity in carbonite….unless you’re a USB flash drive. Then you’re totally adorable. Especially since we all know that Han Solo eventually escapes from the carbonite (woops hope I didn’t ruin the movie for ya! spoiler alert!). But not with this USB flash drive; the only thing escaping will be your data. Maybe that’s a bad analogy for a flash drive; your data will be frozen tight like an action hero locked in carbonite. Better. Holds 1GB of data.

I sense something. A presence I’ve not felt since…last Christmas. If there’s one person who you wouldn’t really expect to get into the holiday spirit, it would be Darth Vader. But when you make someone into a bobblehead, standard thinking goes out the window in the name of cuteness. This limited edition (of 2000) Star Wars bobblehead will bring holiday cheer to all the little boys and girls of the Empire. Darth Claus will bobble his way into your heart.

I’ve said it before, but if there’s any sort of cylindrical shaped household object in existence, you can be sure someone, somewhere has made an R2D2 version of it. And the fine folks at Hammacher Schlemmer (I should get a bonus point for having typed that correctly without having to look up the spelling: Jeff +1) have come through with the R2D2 Aquarium, probably the coolest fishtank in all of the world.

The 1 3/4 gallon tank costs $129 and has a built in periscope which you can use by looking into R2’s radar eye. His domed head rotates when you give vocal commands and he speaks his most famous line from the Star Wars movies (bleep, bleep ba bleep boleep bleep). The fishtank include a filter, LED color changing lights and a double sided background insert with scenes from Star Wars.

I find your lack of jam disturbing. Looking for a way to sneak some Star Wars stuff into your kitchen? Then how about stepping over to the Dark Side for breakfast with the Darth Vader Toaster. This geek appliance leaves a little imprint of the Dark Lord on each slice of toast. Force power not required to operate toaster. Unfortunately it does not come with a light saber butter knife but I’m sure you could rig something up.

It would be one thing to make a Boba Fett Halloween costume from standard materials like cloth or cardboard or whatever or to buy one from your local costume shop. But it’s an entirely different (and better) thing to make a costume of the legendary bounty hunter out of Legos. Yes, a wearable Star Wars costume out of Legos- helmet, backpack and all. Seriously, let’s just crown the guy who made this the king of all geeks and move along because there is no geekier Halloween costume. It’s his world today, we’re all just living in it.

We all should just pack up our carving knives and go home now… is anything really going to beat a Death Star carved pumpkin? The ideal jack-o-lantern for your Star Wars Halloween party or for your MIT dorm room. Some people see a round gourd and say “I’m going to carve a scary face”, while others are just pure geek genius with a vision. A vision of awesomeness.

There is nothing more useful in the world of geekery than Star Wars trivia and nunchuck skills. The Obsessed with Star Wars Electronic Trivia Book won’t help you become a ninja but it will stump you like Stormtrooper with his helmet on backwards (I don’t know what that means exactly either…and I just wrote it!) with 2,500 questions. The book has 150 color photographs and best of all- an electronic scoring module (which allows you to select questions by number or at random).

The book knows all, so if it’s asking you about Luke, Leia, and Han Solo, don’t go trying to pull a Cliff Clavin with “Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?” because the scoring module is like a mini-Yoda. This would make a great gift for any obsessed Star Wars fan.
