Make Your Own Yoda!
Is there anything geekier than admitting I think Yoda is adorable? How about announcing you’re pulling out your Yoda-in-progress to finish stitching? OK, but if you’re making him for your kid that makes it all better, right? Good news for geeky crafters – Geek Central Station has the entire how-to on making both Yoda and Ackbar...

New Stormtrooper Commander Figure: Going, Going…
Timed around this year’s Comic-Con International, this limited-edition, can’t-get-it-in-stores Star Wars Stormtrooper Commander Action Figure probably wasn’t designed with play-hungry kids in mind. (Something about the fact that it’s marketed as being sold ”in protective plastic case” just doesn’t invite you to rip the sucker op...

ThinkGeek to Release Tauntaun Sleeping Bag For Real?
ThinkGeek excited — then disappointed — a whole legian of Star Wars fans with an April Fools Prank on their webstore involving a Tauntaun sleeping bag. For the Gen Y'ers out there, the Tauntaun was a creature slain by Han Solo during The Empire Strikes Back. Han saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitt...

TIE Fighter Playhouse For Star Wars Kids
Of course we all know that no Imperial TIE Fighter pilot would ever be forced to share a cockpit with two fellow officers — but as you can see, three’s evidently not a crowd for the TIE Fighter Playhouse. Oddly enough, this is just the way my three boys would end up situated if a toy TIE Fighter were to land on our doorstep tomorrow...

Star Wars Trash Compactor Bookends
On one hand, we’re bummed that these Star Wars trash-compactor bookends won’t be in stores until April 2010 — on the other, we like having all that time to pick up a few more Star Wars -related pieces of media to sandwich between ‘em. Each bookend measures 6″ deep x 12″ wide x 7.5″ high — and considering they’re hand-numbered...

Lego Rock Band Video Game Announced
People are excited by the news that a Lego Rock Band video game will hit stores soon. PC World says that this new version of the popular pretend-to-be-a-rock-star game will likely be more "kid-friendly", which would fit nicely with previous versions of the Lego-whatever franchise. Read more...

Cut Through The Dark With A Star Wars Lightsaber USB Glow Lamp
This Star Wars Lightsaber USB Glow Lamp ($US26.99) casts a cool blue glow when it's plugged into your PC or wall (via a separate USB-to-AC power adapter), but considering the removable lightsaber holds its glow once charged, it's a little too easy to imagine the kids adapting it for battle. Find a high shelf and place your order at StarWarsShop...

LEGO Star Wars: Limited-Edition Count Dooku’s Solar Sailer
Strolling through Toys "R" Us this past weekend, I found myself drawn, as usual, to the blazing yellow "LIMITED EDITION" tag on the box for this LEGO Star Wars Count Dooku's Solar Sailer. (It didn't hurt that both the kids were arguing over who'd get the set for his birthday. Answer: Dad!) Of primary importance to LEGO collectors is the fact...
