May the force be with your flash drive... OK, that's seriously nerdy, but that's the whole point in having gadgets like these Star Wars USBs. These are for serious fans unafraid to flaunt their geeky side to the world.
Pop off Princess Leia's signature side buns to reveal the 1GB USB stick which comes loaded with avatars, six full-length movie trailers, wallpapers, icons and a soundByte program. Excited? If you want to nerd it up, you better hurry; there were only 2,500 limited edition Leias made, and they're selling for $54.99.
There's also a 1GB Han Solo, complete with retro '70s, side-parted helmet hair for $54.99. If you prefer Luke Skywalker, there's a 1GB stick of him too. Remove his mimobot helmet-clad head, and you'll reveal the blond hero's dashing good lucks, sans mask and goggles. They also have a 1GB Boba Fett, the galactic bounty hunter to keep all your files safe.
My absolute favourite is the limited edition 2GB Chewbacca for $79.99 which, when you plug him in, makes the obnoxiously adorable wookiee sounds he's loved for!
