New Star Wars Series 3 Mimobot Flash Drives Are Now Up For Pre-Order

Mimobot, fine purveyors of geeky collectible flash drives, have introduced the next batch of Star Wars flash drives. There's an egg-headed C-3PO, Wicket, Imperial Guard and my favorite, Emperor Palpatine, who's channeling Dark Side force zaps at all times, keeping your data safe. Like the last batch they can play Star Wars sounds when you mount and unmount, if you want to go there. [mimobots via Underwire]

Latest by Skeptical_Geezer: The price premium on these compared to similar capacity flash drives is RIDICULOUS! Probably only bought by the type of people that wait a week in line to be the first to buy an iPhone. more »

Confirmed: All 6 Star Wars Movies to be Released in 3D

Rumors have been floating around about it for quite some time, but it appears that all systems are go for the entire Star Wars franchise to be re-released in the 3D format. DreamWorks Animations CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed the details in a recent interview with Comingsoon.net saying "Lucas is excited about it" and "He isn't going to put a product out, I think, that isn't anything other than first rate."

Latest by n/a: $50000 to $100000 per minute is just outrageous. With today's computer tech, it should be one tenth of that to be a viable solution. I read about some 3-D TVs that can take off-the-air signal and make the images into 3D more »

Steampunk Strikes Back

Star Wars Bounty Hunters and Yoda Have Us All Steamed

Here in Gizmodo we have this love-hate relationship with steampunk—which borders in the hate-hate most of the time. But when it comes to Star Wars redesigns, I can't help it, I'm fascinated by them, specially the new bounty hunters from Empire Strikes Back, including an omfg-I-want-it version of Boba Fett. Yoda and the rest of the characters, like the Snow Trooper, are equally as good. More »

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]

Star Wars Meets Classic Art

Those Photoshoppers over at Worth 1000 decided to mash up Star Wars with some of the world's most famous pieces of art (and we're like 99% certain that it was meant as a joke). This remix of M.C. Escher's famous Hand with Reflecting Sphere has to be the most brilliant, with traces of the Death Star looming in the background next to a Escher's psychiatrist officesque workspace. For more reimagined pretentious college freshman art, hit the link. [Worth 1000 via digg]

AK Geneve HMS Automatic Warp Watch Is Nigh Indestructible, Inspired by Star Trek

Timepiece designer Arny Kapshitzer is a big fan of Star Trek, and that shows in his latest creation, the HMS Automatic Warp Watch. While it won't take you Warp 9 anytime soon, it does have a ton of carbon fiber, and the perfluorinated, hypoallergenic rubber wristband is impervious to "all acids." From the sound of that last feature, it looks there's a head nod to Ripley in there, too. More »

Hover Boards, Holy Grails and TIE Fighters Fill Hollywood Prop Auction's Geek Memorabilia Motherlode

For sci-fi and comic book movie fans, it doesn't get much better than right now. This week has brought both Dark Knight and the Watchmen trailer, and later this month, the Profiles in History auction house in Hollywood is opening up the prop vaults from just about every classic film over the last, oh, fifty years and isn't stopping until everything is gone, gone, gone! Marty's hover board? Check. Capt. Kirk's phaser from Search For Spock? Yep. The actual holy grail from The Last Crusade? Oh yeah! No shitty replicas here—all are the actual props used on screen, and they can be yours. But those are just the beginning. More »

Clone Wars Merch Floodgates Open With Clone Trooper Kiddie Laptop

Being a Star Wars die-hard from back in the day, everything I've seen or heard about the new Clone Wars series and film has made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I guess this Clone Trooper "laptop" is no exception—sweet case, QWERTY keyboard, but all junior will be doing is playing educational games on its monochrome calculator-LCD screen, which looks like it could have been around for the release of A New Hope. Decent framework for an Eee PC casemod, though. [Product Page via Shiny Shiny]

iPhone, Meet Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

We couldn't think of any better combination of Gizmodo's stereotypical interests than checking out Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the iPhone (...iPhone Lego Star Wars would of course be the Holy Grail, but we only speak of the possibility in hushed voices). After a brief hands-on, we're left even more excited about the capabilities of the iPhone gaming platform, though a bit skeptical of the game's unique control scheme. More »

iPhone OS 2.0 Unlocked

The new iPhone OS 2.0 software has been unlocked and jailbroken. It was released just hours ago and it has already been cracked by the iPhone Dev Team. The first one took a couple of months, but this one was actually unlocked before Apple released it to the public. And you have had the proof in front of you all morning.

Incredible Photography of Sci-Fi Fans in their Native Habitats

When you see a guy dressed up like Spock at a Star Trek convention, it's actually pretty normal. But as the excellent documentary Trekkies pointed out, it's a lot more odd when these fans wear the clothes home...and don't take them off. Photographer Steve Schofield has an amazing gallery of British science fiction fans dressed up at home in his collection "Land of the Free." We wasted far too much of our day appreciating these photographs. And we recommend that you do, too. [Steve Schofield via Neatorama]

NASA Shows Off Fireworks In Space

Before we completely bid adieu to our nation's birthday, we here at Gizmodo would like to give one more shout-out to the fourth of July. Seems like even the stars in the sky can't resist putting up a display for good ol' American freedom. These red-white-and-blue pictures of Supernova remnant SN 1006 are what's left over from a star explosion first observed by humans in year 1006. More »

This is What Happens When You Combine Boba Fett, Flashdance and Fireworks

This is what happens when you mix Boba Fett, Flashdance and fireworks: a brilliant, but somehow disturbing stop-motion animation, that's what. Damn you, Patrick Boivin, for mixing everyone's favorite Star Wars bounty hunter with the movie scene that made me horny for the first time.

Bobble Head Vader is So Ashamed of You

This bobble head Darth Vader is designed for your monitor, where he can look down on you in shame. What has disgusted him so? You. Slob. I mean, you were the chosen one! Yes, you! You always knew it, too, but gave up on moving objects with your mind at an early age while settling for a brief stint at community college and a decent office job. Sure, you've got a nice dog and a decent girlfriend, but you could have been wielding lightsabers and sharing awkward sexual tension with your sister. You're so lame.

All Star Tailgating Trailer Is Dream Bachelor Flat on Wheels

This is the All Star Tailgating Trailer. Or as I like to call it, the The Get-Drunk-n-Stuffed Out of the Stadium Party BBQ Trailer. This thing—which you can order with custom paint, I'll take naked women in naughty positions and flames on a black background, thank you very much—has all the stuff you need to have a party anywhere, from a beer tap to a giant 60" LCD projection TV with surround sound to a full barbecue and grill, all in a compact 6 x 12-foot space: More »

Lightsaber DS Stylus Elicits No Objections From Phoenix Wright

These officially licensed Star Wars Nintendo DS Styluses are just what we need to draw insane circles around Pokemon, help Phoenix Wright solve cases and cut open random people in that really hard doctor game. They come in two flavors: a three-pack of standard plastic ones for $7.99 or a two-pack of glowing ones for $16.99. Both are due July 31, which is exactly the day that we're going to pretending we're gigantic Jedi holding regular-sized lightsabers.

Spock Ears Make Me Say "Knit Long and Prosper"

This is a momentous day for me (I won't spoil the surprise) and what better way to celebrate momentous days than by knitting a pair of Spock ears for my lugs. If I were going to the New York meet-up you would be able to identify me by these furry little thingies—sod the fact that I would probably collapse from heatstroke before I even got to the sodding ballgame—and I could be the fount of mirth whilst you watched the rounders match, or whatever it is they're playing on the pitch. Anyway. Ears. Spock. Knitted. Look like sideways boobies. What more do you want on a Friday? [Yarn Songs via Boing Boing]
