    R2-Q5 USB Hub for Those Who Think R2-D2 Is Too Mainstream

    I've seen the original Star Wars movies. They're fun: Lots of stuff blows up and Harrison Ford is a total badass, but that's about as much as I care. So I'm definitely not the target market for this obscure gadget.

    R2-Q5, as the startlingly extensive "Wookiepedia" informs me, appeared only in Return of the Jedi (and two of the LEGO Star Wars games). It's pretty clearly an R2-D2 model painted black with red accents, and I can't imagine why the makers of this USB hub thought it has a been enough fanbase to deserve its own gadget. But whatever: I do not judge other nerds on their obsessions. Enjoy, Star Wars dorks. [Geeky Gadgets via Dvice]
