Star Wars flash drives' giant heads seep into our teensy hearts

We see so many flash drives around these parts, it is truly, truly hard for any to distinguish themselves in our eyes. These ones? Well, we'll admit it: we have a giant soft spot for their massive noggins. Not the first Star Wars flash drives we've seen -- this newest set store up to 2GB per drive -- which isn't anything to throw a party over, but they're really cute, right? The set, which includes Darth Vader, Yoda (look at his toes!), a Stormtrooper and Boba Fett, will be available starting in October for $25 each.

Everyone will think they are innocent bobble heads... little do they know that they are the storage location of all my most secret important files. This thing is devious.

There's something wrong about ripping off Yoda's head....

Still probably buy it though.

[Nikesh @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:35AM]

Now, if they vibrated, you'd have the female geek's favorite device.

[Sanskrit @ Jul 1st 2009 11:58AM]

These look a great deal better than the last batch of Star Wars flash drives. That last bunch looked like they all had popsicle sticks for heads.

Darth Vader Flash Drive features:

- Wireless operation
- Infiltrates your sound card
- Corrupts files

[blainegeneral @ Jul 1st 2009 12:03PM]

I'd like to know what Yoda would do? Something like all powerful protector or something?

[Sanskrit @ Jul 1st 2009 12:06PM]

Yeah, but what do you tell the Stormtrooper flash drive?

Stormtrooper: Let me see your login.
User: [with a small wave of his mouse] You don't need to see my login.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see your login.
User: These aren't the files you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the files we're looking for.
User: I can go about my business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
User: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along... move along.

[pavlindrom @ Jul 1st 2009 12:06PM]

For you files' protection, Yoda's power have not been incorporated into the USB drive. He would encode them all right away so as not to have anyone, you included, spied on your most important treasures...

Whatever.

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 1st 2009 12:04PM]

Hold your fire.

There's no Pez aboard. -probably a malfunction.

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Jul 1st 2009 12:17PM]

Look sir! Pez!

[Dan @ Jul 1st 2009 12:09PM]

What is this "Stromtrooper" of which you speak, Engadget? A fan of Strom Thurmond, perhaps?

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Jul 1st 2009 12:13PM]

I didn't catch that at first. Good work, Dan!

Shame on you, Engadget!

[Craig S @ Jul 1st 2009 12:12PM]

Epic! Vader or Fett, Vader...Fett, Vader...Fett. Decisions decisions.

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Jul 1st 2009 12:13PM]

Vader, duh.

[Hafkie @ Jul 1st 2009 12:25PM]

Gotta go with the Fett-man. You can't go wrong.

[pavlindrom @ Jul 1st 2009 2:58PM]

What's one without the other? Get both!

[Jeremy B @ Jul 1st 2009 12:52PM]

ahahah thats awesome i'm getting it!

[rekkid @ Jul 1st 2009 12:16PM]

too bad they dont have an R2D2 version, then you could really hide the technical plans for the Death Star within this R2 unit

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 1st 2009 12:19PM]

Look this good when YOU are a flash drive, will you?

[Graham @ Jul 1st 2009 12:41PM]

They look great, nice for hiding data :) but isnt 2gb a little low for flash drives these days

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 1st 2009 2:17PM]

It's also a little short for a stormtrooper...

[benahad @ Jul 4th 2009 5:55PM]

I see what you did there. +1

[GTMac @ Jul 1st 2009 12:47PM]

The Yoda drive encrypts all of your files by simply putting the file extension before the file name. Txt.readme you will open.

[commenting @ Jul 1st 2009 12:47PM]

...May the force be with USB...

[V35_Pilot @ Jul 1st 2009 12:54PM]

You previous commenters are awesome. Excellent twist on the classics here... :)

[sgrmba @ Jul 1st 2009 6:04PM]

Agreed! These are the greatest comments for a post ever!

[rsm @ Jul 1st 2009 1:06PM]

Luke, you don't know the power of the dark side of the USB port...

[ReaperRob @ Jul 1st 2009 1:15PM]

I find your lack of files disturbing

[Liander @ Jul 1st 2009 1:18PM]

Vader: Luke...I...am your flash drive
Luke: nnnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[alexherbert @ Jul 1st 2009 1:33PM]

the best way to spend $100 on 8gb of storage

i've always been more of an 'and' than an 'or' guy

[acme @ Jul 1st 2009 1:38PM]

I like the meebo ones better

The Boba Fett model has a unique feature, in that when connected directly with another one, it will clone the data automatically to the other unit.

[Visa @ Jul 1st 2009 1:59PM]

May the USB be with you

[Adam @ Jul 1st 2009 3:19PM]

If you put files on me, I shall become more powerful then you could ever imagine.

[webdawg77 @ Jul 1st 2009 3:20PM]

may the force keep your files from the corruption of the dark side

[guy943 @ Jul 1st 2009 4:04PM]

But can they do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs?

[Anticrawl @ Jul 1st 2009 4:43PM]

But isn't parsec a unit of.... oh shi..

[russlar @ Jul 1st 2009 7:19PM]

Want, do not.

[James_I @ Jul 1st 2009 7:36PM]

Why is the dark side of the force more popular......

[Sanskrit @ Jul 2nd 2009 8:57AM]

They have cookies!
