Ah yes, another Monday, another fantastic day filled with Star Wars goodness. Someone better call Lando. No, It’s not a party so don’t go grabbing case after case of Colt 45 malt liquor just yet. I just thought Lando would be interested in these $200 figurines. They’re a fusion of Disney and Star Wars characters. You’ve got Mickey Mouse as Luke, Minnie Mouse as Queen Amidala, Donald Duck as Darth Maul and Goofy as a confused Jar Jar Binks.

Where’s Darth Vader? He could have easily been modeled after Pete, Mickey’s arch-rival. Geez, I’m the only one who cares and this is going to put a damper on my whole week. Thanks a lot Disney.

The Luke Arm is the world’s first real, fully-functional prosthetic arm. The video shows Dean Kamen and the progress his team has made with the prosthesis as they work with the arm in either a remote-controlled or thought-controlled method. The Luke Arm’s silicone-rubber inner-side straps work with the arm and distribute pressure at certain areas of the body during use. Made up of magnesium, titanium and a slew of other metals, the Luke arm weighs a mere 8.9-pounds and is said to be able to crush any man in arm wrestling. I’m serious, check the video out.
