Someone is obviously really pissed at books. Whether the culprit is from the side of good or evil, it wouldn’t take a whole lot of effort for them to slide a lightsaber through the stack of books. On the plus side, it will keep all those books standing up nice and straight. The final version is not complete, but the unpainted prototype above gives you a good idea of what is in store for this set of Lightsaber Bookends.

This USB powered Yoda will keep watch over your computer when you are not around. Whenever he detects motion the lightsaber will illuminate and he will utter a phrase to try to deter the intruder. While you may not fear anyone who is under 4 feet tall, you have to respect the lightsaber.

With this lightsaber pen you are not just writing your memoirs, you are battling the dark side in order to get your story out. You shouldn’t use an instrument as fine as this to do anything other than work that will benefit the entire universe.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of January 19th-January 25, 2009:
Boat Couch: Looks like a seaworthy vessel.
Glass Bathtub: It’s bulletproof and bomb-proof.
Corndog vs. Broccoli: For the heavyweight championship.

You can use this as a regular flashlight, but that would sort of defeat the purpose. Why just have light when you can have projected images of a clone trooper, C3PO with R2-D2 or Yoda? On the downside, it is powered by 2 AA batteries, so I wouldn’t expect a lightsaber here.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of August 18th to the 24th 2008:

Finding yourself a flashlight may not be the most exciting search. Not until you find this Lightsaber with Sound Effects. Every time you turn it on it will sound just like Luke breaking out his own lightsaber. After that you have a blue LED light that is similar to a lightsaber, just with an infinitely long blade. It usually doesn’t take too much to excite the Star Wars fanatics.

It seems that Star Wars merchandising knows no bounds. Take the Lightsaber Umbrella for example.
As you can see, the umbrella features a lightsaber themed shaft with your choice of a red, white, and blue glow. They will definitely draw some attention, although I wouldn’t expect much of that attention to come from women.
The Lightsaber Umbrella is available for $41 via funshop (Korea).
A holdover from CES 2007, the Lightsaber Skype phone features a sweet LED light, connection to your computer via USB, and it will play the famous lightsaber sound when plugged in.
It may not be as cool as the R2D2 Mobile Entertainment System, but it will be your new best friend when calling those chat lines for phone sex.
If you are a Star Wars fan its time to bust out the TP and petroleum jelly because a complete mobile entertainment system contained within a lifelike R2D2 robot is on the floor at CES.
The R2D2 Media Center Edition (M.C.E.) can play radio, CD, MP3, WMA (among other music formats), project DVDs, games, and photos on the wall, it has an iPod dock, a memory card slot, an integrated stereo system, and a remote that looks like the Millennium Falcon.
There is also a (Communication System) C.S. edition that features an integrated webcam, lightsaber Skype phone controls, and a wireless FM transmitter.
If you are thinking, “that’s going to be expensive!” – you are absolutely correct. Expect to pay $2500 for R2D2 M.C.E. when he’s released sometime later this year.
