Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Gizmodo is absolutely horrified by Star Wars rubber duckies, but I think they’re adorable. (We’ve seen way, way worse. Men.) The new Mimobots aren’t bad, either – only Leia (rightfully) sports their signature sidebumps.
Meanwhile, over at the Livejournal, a report of the SW merchandise at Target.
Rebelscum spotted a supposed list of next year’s comic packs, which includes names sure to make many EU fans happy (Cade, Karrde, Thrawn.) And some that just make me want to facepalm (Xizor?) but we all have our demons.
Look who’s back: Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi and their bundles of joy, now in a nifty two-pack. Of course, you still have venture into Wal-Mart to buy them, but sacrifices must be made.
(For the record, these figures inspired our nativity contest back in 2005.)

North America can now get in on the Star Wars photo wall action. The giant wall murals debuted in Europe last year. They’re still based overseas though, so better measure in metric.
I believe we’ve already established that I’m empathetically not a gamer and I don’t know the first thing about PSPs and Wiis and all that, but I gotta admit to being mildly tempted by the offer of a free Han Solo in Carbonite PSP case when pre-ordering Battlefront: Renegade Squadron from Gamespot. And keep in mind the most advanced gaming system I’ve ever owned is a Sega Genesis.
They ought to make these these things for iPods or something. The first and second gen Nanos are perfectly proportioned for it! Or… checkbook covers. I don’t know. Something.
