A few years back, in my younger years, a friend of mine had shelves of action figures in his apartment. A big Star Wars fan, this included plenty of George Lucas-themed toys and the like. Far from being the typical nerd, he did alright with the ladies, most of which never complained about the nerd shrines.
Still, my friend decided one day that he'd pack away his toys. Make the place more presentable. He was an adult after all. I suggested maybe something a bit more subtle; a classy, framed Star Wars movie poster, perhaps?
Here's something I wouldn't ever suggest -- buying something that looks like Darth Vader to hold up your Wii Sensor Bar. As gamers, we've often been shunned as outcasts, longing for the day when the medium could be accepted by a more mainstream audience. Those days are upon us, with videogames more accepted than ever, thanks in no small part to the popularity of the Wii.
So this
Darth Vader Wii Sensor Bar Holder costs $50, the bar sitting in Vader's hands in place of a traditional light saber. Folks, don't do it. This is the kind of stuff that will set back our cause by at least a
decade. Think about it.

Its as stupid as this
We just stack it on top of some books to get the much needed height.
Google "Sanyo Eneloop" rechargeable batteries. They last a long time and charge in 2 hours. Awesome!
My grandkids like Star Wars and don't mind that my wife and I are into Anime and Sci-Fi. My kids think we need to grow up... NEVER! :D
"Dear George Lucas,
Please stop whoring this beloved franchise. We understand that you love money, but now that you have been able it insulate all of the walls in Skywalker Ranch with $100 bills, do you think that you could be a little more selective with which products you will let Star Wars characters to be associated with. Now dont get me wrong. I love my Chewbacca toilet paper holder, I adore my Emperor Palpatine oven mitt, and I couldnt live without my Slave Leia beach towel. But, where do you draw the line? What is next? Luke Skywalker tampons, perhaps?
Thank you,
A concerned fan."
Just a little note im going to mail to the man himself. lol.
But what about J. Robert Oppenheimer? Guy got around.
However, $50 seems a bit steep for a piece of plastic that holds another piece of plastic.
Sometimes unnecessary things are cool, like the Mario statue that holds a DS or a Wiimote. =)
Second of all, $50? Really?
Well duh!
How did I miss an oppurtunity to push my anti-chick agenda?
This society is biased towards women! I have the opini...FACTS to prove it!
