Of course, no Star Wars TV is complete without a remote control shaped like the number one Jedi weapon. On one side you will find all the buttons needed to control the TV and the DVD player, and the other side is designed to look like a lightsaber.

The DVD player is capable of playing CD, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD discs and the speakers are integrated in the black Darth Vader helmet inspired TV design.

The combo is mains powered and the remote requires 2 x AA batteries.

You can get the Star Wars TV/DVD with Lightsaber Remote from the Toys R Us UK or Littlewoods Direct website for £130 (about $212 USD).
