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.
Now, if they vibrated, you'd have the female geek's favorite device.
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
I'd like to know what Yoda would do? Something like all powerful protector or something?
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.
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.

Dark Helmet!
Hold your fire.
There's no Pez aboard. -probably a malfunction.
Look sir! Pez!
What is this "Stromtrooper" of which you speak, Engadget? A fan of Strom Thurmond, perhaps?
I didn't catch that at first. Good work, Dan!
Shame on you, Engadget!
Epic! Vader or Fett, Vader...Fett, Vader...Fett. Decisions decisions.
Vader, duh.
Gotta go with the Fett-man. You can't go wrong.
What's one without the other? Get both!
ahahah thats awesome i'm getting it!
too bad they dont have an R2D2 version, then you could really hide the technical plans for the Death Star within this R2 unit
Look this good when YOU are a flash drive, will you?
They look great, nice for hiding data :) but isnt 2gb a little low for flash drives these days

It's also a little short for a stormtrooper...
I see what you did there. +1
The Yoda drive encrypts all of your files by simply putting the file extension before the file name. Txt.readme you will open.
...May the force be with USB...
You previous commenters are awesome. Excellent twist on the classics here... :)
Agreed! These are the greatest comments for a post ever!
Luke, you don't know the power of the dark side of the USB port...
I find your lack of files disturbing
Vader: Luke...I...am your flash drive
Luke: nnnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
the best way to spend $100 on 8gb of storage
i've always been more of an 'and' than an 'or' guy
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.
May the USB be with you
If you put files on me, I shall become more powerful then you could ever imagine.
may the force keep your files from the corruption of the dark side
But can they do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs?
But isn't parsec a unit of.... oh shi..
Want, do not.
Why is the dark side of the force more popular......
They have cookies!
fugly
what the awesome
