Nice! is one word to put on this badboy.. I love the little blurb that Gizmodo uses to describe this piece of awesomeness! The price isn’t actually that bad either, 49.99$ (U.S) at Amazon.com.

“Every Transformer should be ashamed right now. Darth Vader has rolled onto their turf and made them all look weak in comparison. Optimus Prime certainly can’t turn himself into a man made planet, and the only thing Unicron can do is eat his way through the universe at 4 mph. We never believed the Millenium Falcon/Chewbacca Transformer could ever reign supreme. But Darth Vader, oh man. Not only does he still have his light saber, but when he transforms, he turns into the goddamn Death Star. I’d love to see Unicron’s fat ass try and eat the Death Star. Not likely.”

This is interesting.. a very unique and great way to celebrate 30 years of Star Wars!

Luke Skywalker’s original Jedi lightsaber makes its way into space (for real) with NASA astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery in October. To commemorate the historic event, Star Wars characters visited the Oakland International Airport where Chewbacca handed the lightsaber over to NASA’s Space Center Houston during a special ceremony on Aug. 28, 2007.

“When the mission is complete and the Jedi lightsaber has traveled almost six million miles it will then be on display at the Space Center Houston and later returned to Lucasfilm,” Bornstein continues. “To paraphrase the famous Han Solo, ‘We’re all clear kids, now let’s load this thing and go home.”

Thinkgeek.com is selling a very cool Star Wars R2-D2 Trashcan.. the only thing not so cool about this though is the price.. it sells at 149.99$.. ouch! Although if you had the extra cash, I guess the price wouldn’t be so bad.. mind you I would love to have one myself! Too bad it will only ship within the U.S… boo!

Trash is just not that cool. Not only can it be dirty and odorous but it’s simply low-tech and boring. At least that’s what we used to think… until we saw this amazing R2-D2 Trashcan and learned to love trash. This stylish trash receptacle is imported from Japan and is an incredibly detailed replica of R2-D2. Step on R2’s center “foot” and his dome swings wide to collect your expired TPS reports and leftover wookie dung. In fact here at the ThinkGeek rebel base we’ve been generating extra waste just for the pleasure of disposing it inside our favorite droid. Everything was going great until we emptied the trash and accidentally discarded some Death Star plans… then the Rebel Massassi Outpost on the fourth moon of Yavin got destroyed and things just went downhill from there.

This is one of my favorite episodes I think. “Maybe I should mess with your face a little bit, you got that?” haha! That’s gold… this is Episode 5 of 8. Enjoy!

For those who havn’t seen the first episodes yet, be sure to check them out!

Chad Vader: Episode 1
Chad Vader: Episode 2
Chad Vader: Episode 3
Chad Vader: Episode 4

In this Episode:“A tipsy Chad faces a lameness crisis. He gets help from an unexpected friend.”

I also want to remind everyone about our on going Lightsaber give-a-way contest. I’m kind of disappointed in the amount of entries we’ve received. So far we’ve only received a handful of entries. Don’t forget, all you have to do is right a few lines.

Good old Chad Vader. When I watched the first episode, my first impression was like, “What the hell is this crap?” but after the episode was over, I was actually really impressed and that led to watching all the episodes one right after another! They are working on Season 2 now as far I know, so that should be pretty sweet… this is Episode 4 of 8. Enjoy!
