Custom-made Luke Skywalker USB drive is impressive. Most impressive.

In response to an Engadget Japan post entitled "Cruel Star Wars USB drives," one incredibly talented reader went ahead and one-upped the entire collection with a custom made Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker drive. All you need to know is that the USB input is accessed by severing his hand. Search your feelings, you know this to be awesome.

Custom-made Luke Skywalker USB drive is impressive. Most impressive.

I'd love to see a C3PO dongle

[Sachin Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:04PM]

that's what she said

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 10:36PM]

The Robot Chicken version...

[One Love Posted Jul 26th 2009 10:39PM]

Impressive? When did lukes face melt? Was I in the bathroom?

[compwhiz Posted Jul 26th 2009 6:56PM]

"YES!!! You are my father!!!!!!!!"

[Hckngrtfakt Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:21PM]

inB4troll ....

also, didnt know there was a Japanese engadget ....

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 10:48PM]

noooooooooo!...................

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:01PM]

It looks like the company owners son designed it in the first place then it got run through an oven. Maybe this is what Hamil looked like after his car wreck and without his makeup...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:12PM]

woops... just realized this was a single production fan item... I don't read the article one time in a million and this is what I get....

[nicksilvestri Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:02PM]

"That would be MOST good. MOST good."

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:02PM]

impressive doesn't quite describe it for me.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:02PM]

...i am nodding knowingly at the existence of this device...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:04PM]

I must own this...

[letstakeawalk Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:09PM]

The win is strong with this one...

[Warren Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:10PM]

Can I get a replacement cap that has a robotic hand that looks real?

[Farris Posted Jul 26th 2009 11:20PM]

Can I get a replacement USB drive that is impressive? This thing looks like crap. Just because it's Luke Skywalker doesn't mean it's that great.

If I put a tech object in some type of abstract artwork, will I get an article on Engadget?

[AdamSpruijt Posted Jul 27th 2009 12:10AM]

I'm with you Farris, bad art plus USB drive doesn't mean it's note worthy.

[Eleazar Posted Jul 27th 2009 12:30AM]

They just don't understand that bad art/anything + bluetooth is the winning formula, not USB

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 27th 2009 7:21AM]

YOU CALL THIS ART???

[Wwhat Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:19PM]

Would be funny if someone made a non-electronic device like a pen or something that looked like a standard USB flashdisk, that would finalize the confusion.

[Hckngrtfakt Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:23PM]

How about a USB stick, with a pen inside that as you open it reveals a USB stick inside the pen which was located inside a USB stick originally .... ???

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:27PM]

Reminds me of the pink panther 2 when he has a tape recorder that is actually a pen.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 27th 2009 1:27AM]

@Matt

You actually spent money on "Pink Panther 2"? Please say you have children..

[Imran Posted Jul 27th 2009 4:04AM]

@loosely coupled: ever heard of torrents? :p

[MikeHah Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:44PM]

NERD!

[zman Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:46PM]

A bit big, dont you think?

[ic wiener Posted Jul 27th 2009 12:02AM]

that's what she said

[EGOvoruhk Posted Jul 27th 2009 1:18AM]

It's only 1GB

[EUPORIC Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:49PM]

who is Luke Skywalker?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:57PM]

Your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:59PM]

You, you can just die...



J/K. But seriously, is this a real question?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:31PM]

yeah, and what's USB and that thing call interweb?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 9:58PM]

@Res

This is a mute point, but you do realize that your father's brother's nephew's cousin is just your cousin right? Or is it you!

[Smart People Play Tuba Posted Jul 26th 2009 10:39PM]

MarnBeast, did you mean "moot point?" Also, go watch Space Balls.

[Oshitheguru Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:09PM]

Epic fail. :{

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 7:59PM]

i'm searching my feelings but all i can come up with is 'get a life'.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:13PM]

well its god in a sculpture with a usb stick in the arm.
its amazing don't get me wrong but its like the size of a netbook. Not practical at all.

[Marbles Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:19PM]

Like carp that looks.

[Smart People Play Tuba Posted Jul 26th 2009 10:41PM]

No, no, no. Yoda reversed sentence structure, not spelling.

Crap =/= "carp"

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:23PM]

this looks horrible, i think its melting

[shamon Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:40PM]

That is pretty cool .

[versionII Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:44PM]

sticking some USBs in random objects will get you a blog post on engadget

[Smart People Play Tuba Posted Jul 26th 2009 10:41PM]

That gives me an idea.

** heads to bathroom **

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:50PM]

Seems like he did this in a rush, would have been more awesome if he spent more time sculpting it. Good idea but poor craftsmanship.

[Showbiz Posted Jul 26th 2009 8:57PM]

I like to see like that guys head blowing up in Scanners.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 9:05PM]

"This is Impossible!"

[stridermt2k Posted Jul 26th 2009 9:06PM]

Well that's...improbable...

[Kasona Posted Jul 27th 2009 1:06PM]

...THAT'S...very unlikely...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 26th 2009 9:16PM]

Looks more like "Han Solo" than "Luke" to me.

[Vander Posted Jul 26th 2009 11:05PM]
