I’m sure you’re a bit tired of all the weird USB flash disk designs out there. I was, too, until I caught sight of Mimoco’s outstanding Star Wars Mimobots. Available in 1, 2, 4 and 8 GB capacity, these flash disks/drool-worthy gadgets sent my head into a serious tailspin. I know that these are just flash disks and yes there are tons of 30,000GB-capable (okay, I’m exaggerating) versions out there, but with Princess Leia here, who the hell cares?

And yes, I’m an extremely big fan of Wicket the Ewok. I know, I know — true-blue geeks hate those furry Ewoks. But I love them! I watched the cartoon, too, by the way. In case you’re wondering, I think I was around eight when I watched Return of the Jedi. My guy cousins were in their teens then, I think.

So anyway, yes, I want this. I want all of them, in fact, except Darth Vader, Chewbacca and the Storm Trooper are all sold out. Boo. Thankfully enough, Mimoco does not offer a Jar-jar Binks version.

Mimoco also has other design lines, including Tokidoki (another likey!), Happy Tree Friends, Halo and Domo.

Unfortunately for male geeks, no Slave Princess Leia is available. Too bad. No gold bikini for you guys!

I’ve been meaning to post this weeks ago, but somehow other stuff keep coming up and I keep throwing this to the back burner. A serious geek offense, I know, but there were just so many new items that I though this old one would only make people nostalgic, not interested.

Personally, I found this cute because I saw it in Big Bang Theory, my television show du jour. In one episode, Leonard thinks that someone had broken into their apartment and thus emerges from his roomed armed with a light-saber. Technically, he’s using it as a flashlight of sorts, though the way he wields it shows that he’s ready to go Luke Skywalker on the enemy’s ass anytime. Interestingly enough, Leonard is using the green light-saber, which belongs to Yoda.

Licensed replicas can be yours. Visit Think Geek to get your own light-saber. The power down sound effect is so totally worth it.
