Why not denigrate them to the lowest forms of consumer electronics by decapitating their shrunken heads and turning those into nifty Star Wars phone flashers? Now if you're in a way-too-noisy cantina, or if you're phone is on silent, the head of the Dark Lord (or Stormtrooper No. 37291018) will spin 'round and 'round to make sure you don't miss your call. How droll. $9 a head. [Firebox via Random Good Stuff]

Raising awareness and funds for autism, that's what. So if you wondered where all those helmets at the Lego stormtrooper cloning machine go to, check the gallery for some amazing high resolution shots.

A Lego employee group of Lego UK employees built the Clone Trooper army in just six and a half hours to raise money for The National Autistic Society. The National Autistic Society is a British organization dedicated to helping "people with autism and Asperger syndrome live their lives with as much independence as possible."

And then she would have smacked his sorry peasant ass to grab them. And maybe George Lucas would have never decided to produce the prequels after that. And the world would have been a much, much better place. But I digress. The question here is—and I'm asking you—how the heck can you convince your sexual partner to wear these and the rest of the uniform?

Here goes, Master Replicas has launched a limited edition Shadow Stormtrooper helmet. Awesome.

Instead of looking like a plastic turd as we were expecting, it actually looks rather smashing and we want. The production is seriously limited, only 500 pieces will be produced, and unless you are planning on starring in a Star Wars remake anytime soon, the shocking $649.99 asking price may be a little too steep. If you really want it, why not take a trip to a galaxy far, far away and bag your self a real Stormtrooper—it'll be cheaper. [eBay via Uberreview]

Gallery below.

Er, shouldn't that be the Al Jabba gallery? [Hombre Lobo via Boing Boing]

Aided and abetted by a cast of, er, quite a lot, blogger Danny Choo gives it loads to Kool and the Gang in the streets and subway of Tokyo.

Listen up, Star Wars nerds. A company is offering a "totally authentic" Imperial Stormtrooper outfit just in time for Halloween (or the latest larping festival). Each part of the outfit is hand-crafted from the very molds used in the original film to ensure only the highest of quality in StormTrooper evening wear.

I've never seen the original Star Wars films (sue me), but each TK421, which is the suit's official name, apparently has the same belt that saved Luke and Leia's lives. You also forfeit your right to ever talk to a girl again for a period of at least one year when you buy the suit.

The painfully authentic StormTrooper suit can be found online for around $2,400. – Nicholas Deleon
