George Lucas in Carbonite
True story: George Lucas owed us some money and he wouldn't pay. So now we have the best office decoration ever. And until Carrie Fisher shows up in a metal choker and a bikini, we're not giving it back. Those are our terms, and before anyone tries anything funny, remember that like half the Gizmodo staff knows karate—or as we call it at the dojo, karaté. [flickr via Newlaunches]

Leaked Clone Wars Trailer is the New Force Hotness
Feast your eyes—squinting a bit—on the leaked two-minute trailer that was briefly seen in YouTube and then pulled off just to be rescued at the last minute by a Polish Corvette, saved into an astromech droid, launched onto a desert planet, and found by us in a garage sale somewhere in Kraków. Or something like that. The trailer further shows the work of the three hundred 3D animators who have been working on this project at Lucasfilm Animation for the past three years. And except for its lousy quality it, it seems that we are in for a ride (here's hoping Mr. Lucas didn't write the dialog.)

Lucas Further Whores Out Star Wars Brand for Line of Rubber Duckies
Just how far will the absurdity of Star Wars product licensing go? You know we're getting near that repugnant singularity of infinite distortion when we encounter these Star Wars-themed rubber duckies. There's Luke Pondwalker, Princess Layer, and look over there—it's Pondtrooper. Sheesh. Running on a non-replaceable 45-hour battery, all are ready to swim around and around, and to save battery power, they stop whatever it is that propels their watery wanderings as soon as you take them out of the H2O. Good lord. Please don't buy these. [Red5, via 7 Gadgets]

strangle with style
The Supreme Edition Darth Vader Costume is the full package: you get a jumpsuit complete with fake leather pants and sleeves (though the codpiece is real leather), Darth's signature cape, and all of his armor cast from the original Lucasfilm molds. Our favorite part: the suit has a custom apparatus to mimic Darth's breathing. It can be toggled off if you want (but why would you?) And on top of that, it will only cost you $850 and comes with a cool freebie.

George Lucas Shooting Star Wars Ep 7 At D5 Party?
Here's George Lucas playing director at last night's fifth annual All Things Digital kickoff party in Carlsbad, CA. Yes, that's right, Lucas is holding what appears to be a Flip Video camera which apparently belongs to event co-producer Kara Swisher, the woman to the Jedi master's immediate right. You know, we knew Lucas was all for replacing film with digital video, but this might be taking things too far. More »
