If you’ve got $22 and know a deserving kid, these LEGO Star Wars watches are about as adorable as gifts get. If you’ve got $30 and consider yourself deserving, there are slightly less cute adult versions, too. [ StarWarsShop via Geekologie ]
Hide wires, powerboards, your prized mini-figs—heck, even the droids the stormtroopers are still looking for, all in this tidy flatpacked AT-AT model from China. The company sends you all the materials needed to construct the AT-AT, but can’t promise protection from the rebel snowspeeders lurking nearby. It costs 55 Yuan, which is only $8, but that doesn’t include postage obviously. [ GeekCook via WalYou ]
Just as I’d play LEGO Star Wars , I’d gladly watch a full feature LEGO Star Wars movie—assuming it’s as well-executed as this clip. Enjoy the brick gore. [ BricksinMotion via Kotaku ]
These 1GB lightsaber flash drives may have been imported from Japan and they may light up when plugged in, but they still don’t feel quite right without some woosh-woosh-zzwoommm-zwing sound effects. Worth $20 without those? [ ThinkGeek via Nerd Approved ]
In today’s Remainders: a celebration. Photoshop turns 20 and reminds us why we love it with laser-eyed babies and an Earth with AT-ATs. We’ve also got possible iPad preorders, definite MobileMe and Chromium OS improvements, PMA bummers and more. RIP PMA Pentax is the latest manufacturer to bail from PMA, joining Canon and Leica who have also announced that they will not be attending the gigantic photography trade show this year. It could be in protest of the show’s relocation from Las Vegas to Anaheim, though you’d think they’d take the vacation anywhere they could get it.

The Star Wars universe is basically infinite, but out of thousands of stories, the original trilogy is still the heart. So I’m really excited Hasbro’s 2010 toys focus on Empire for its 30th anniversary, down to vintage figure packaging. HASBRO STAR WARS’™ 2010 TOY LINE CAPTURES THE EXCITEMENT AND ADVENTURE OF POPULAR STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS ANIMATED SERIES Hasbro Also Celebrates 30th Anniversary of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK with Dramatic Re-Imagining of Iconic AT-AT Vehicle PAWTUCKET, R.I.

It’s not the full thing, it doesn’t fly on anti-gravity engines, and it doesn’t include lots of wookie hair, but I definitely like this 11 by 8-inch Millennium Falcon released at Toy Fair . Why? Because the damn thing FLIES. The remote-controlled Falcon comes with a charging controller, all for $50.
I thought these were lamps with built-in alarm clocks, but they’re actually speakers from toymaker Funko. Not much info about them, but they definitely look like a great match for that Darth Vader alarm clock.
