Ranking near the top of my “shit I didn’t know i wanted, but now need” list is an awesome Steampunk-style Lightsaber currently being auctioned off on eBay. The metal-constructed saber was constructed by a prop professional, so the quality is likely very high.
With a Buy It Now price of $124.99, the Steampunk Lightsaber is actually really reasonable. Finally, a weapon you can use with your Darth Vader gas mask. Hit the jump for more steamy photos.
Torture dogs much? Then you’ll get a kick out of this Darth Vader costume for your canine companion. Despite this dog resembling the likeness of Darth Sidius rather than his apprentice, we approve of dogs dressed up in Star Wars-themed costumes. We only wish there were even more sci-fi costumes available for our pets. Hit the jump to see what I mean.

Lightsabers are flippin’ cool but one can’t help but question their toll on the environment. Enter the Jedi Ecosaber, the lightsaber that wields a compact fluorescent bulb. It’ll light up but, when it comes to slicing things in half, you’d be better off with a butter knife. Redbubble is selling these t-shirts for $26.53, so grab yours before everyone in the galaxy has one.
SpikeTV is advertising their presentation of Star Wars in the sexiest way possible. By featuring lightsaber glow-stick lights on a specially designed bus stop ad, of course. Sexiest way possible? I think so.
The Dark Side is strong, my son. But using the power of The Force and your bus toll, you too can be a Jedi. Or at least in the presence of a cleverly launched corporate ad campaign. (more…)
How cool would it be to walk through a rainy day wielding an umbrella that resembles a weapon fit for a Jedi? The LED Umbrella looks like a modified lightsaber with a cool rain protection feature. Eat that, Darth!
The umbrella has a special illuminated shaft with LED as the source behind the light, hence the lightsaber glow. With the press of a button, harness the power of the Jedi, or at least look like you are. Available for $25. — Andrew Dobrow
What will they think of next? Maybe a Lightsaber-themed sex toy? Eh, its most likely already been done. Not only can a Lightsaber protect you from the Alliance and change your TV station, but it can also apparently protect your hair from liquid droplets of destruction, or as you might like to call it…rain. This Japanese-made limited-edition Darth Vader Lightsaber umbrella comes with impressive telescopic action power and a red nylon sleeve.
For its price of $90, you would expect some flashing lights or Star Wars sound effects to make the replica complete, but depressingly, special effects are not included. Though, it is the onlly umbrella on the market that will protect you from rain AND imperial stormtroopers. There’s only 4 left in stock over at Amazon, so if I were you, which i very well might be, I’d go pick one up. — Andrew Dobrow
