<p>Fans of the Star Wars saga can now light up their workspace using the weapon of a Jedi. The 13 inches tall desktop lamp, designed like a lightsaber, is charged via USB.</p>
<p><span id="more-2052"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
This mini Jedi weapon of choice plugs into your USB port and lights up to become possibly the coolest desk lamp since the discovery of electricity. Not only can you get in touch with the force (as long as you&#8217;re a Jedi), but once charged, you can remove this wicked wand from its base and have your very own mini-me glowing lightsabre.

<blockquote><p>
<strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A desktop USB lamp styled like a lightsabre.</li>
<li>When it is plugged-in the lightsabre will charge-up.</li>
<li>Press the bronze button on the lightsabre&#8217;s hilt to activate the light.</li>
<li>The lightsabre can be removed from its USB powered dock and used as a mini Star Wars toy.</li>
<li>The light emitted is a subtle one in full daylight but pop it in the dark and it looks totally awesome.</li>
<li>Requires a USB port.</li>
<li>Suitable for ages 8 years+.</li>
<li>Size: 33 x 6cm. </li>
</ul>

<p>This cool Star Wars kit allows you to build your very own custom lightsaber. </p>
<p><span id="more-1361"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
This Saber Kit is just what you need to build your custom saber. One main saber unit with a tri-color blade (flip a switch and choose red, green, or blue &#8211; each with corresponding and different sound effects) and a slew of parts let you assemble the saber you&#8217;ve dreamed of.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video showing some of the things you can do with the kit:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-pF9TqJc2EY&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-pF9TqJc2EY&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<blockquote><p>
All the parts are based on actual screen-seen components, so your saber will look like an awesome mashup from the movies. And the coolest part is, you don&#8217;t have to choose between the Jedi and the Sith &#8211; because you can switch back and forth with the flip of a . . . well, switch.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/a035/">Star Wars DIY Force FX Lightsaber Kit</a> ($100) is available at ThinkGeek.</p>

<p>Coincides with the 30th anniversary of the first Star Wars film comes this cool Artoo replica webcam. An included lightsaber-shaped remote control functions both as a Skype phone handset, and a way to take the little droid on a tour.</p>
<p><span id="more-512"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.geekalerts.com/u/r2-cam2.jpg" width="399" height="239" alt="R2-D2 Wireless Webcam" title="R2-D2 Wireless Webcam" /></p>
<p>A sensor on R2&#8217;s front leg detects the edge of a table and automatically stops the droid from proceeding while signaling an audible warning.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short video demonstration of the droid in action:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YvzZfjxSY7g"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YvzZfjxSY7g" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Wi-Fi capabilities on this 628 x 528 pixel web camera allows you to control R2-D2&#8217;s movements and access the web camera from a laptop or a PC anywhere in the world.</p>
<blockquote><p>
The web camera takes digital photos and snap shots, and it has voice record, zoom, and tilt functions. R2-D2 says 11 different phrases and astromech droid sounds from the original Star Wars soundtrack. Web camera requires six AA batteries. 8&#8243; H x 51/2&#8243; W x 51/4&#8243; D.
