Well this is maybe something! We've gotten word of a Star Wars-related announcement coming to CES on Thursday. Stormtroopers! Darth Vader himself! All wrapped up in some sort of announcement that's not so very far, far away.

The official lingo:

The Empire is headed to Vegas, baby. Darth Vader, accompanied by a legion of his finest Imperial troops, will address emissaries from "a galaxy far, far away" for a most impressive announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show - Thursday, January 6th at 11:30 AM PST Panasonic Booth #9408.

Be prepared… The Force is strong with this one.

Let the wild speculation begin! I would say "novelty USB drives," but that's been done.
