PC Mag looks at Star Wars gear

Sure, we're going to check out "Revenge of the Sith," and we may even like it. But we all know that what George Lucas is really a master of is licensing (after all, he turned down upfront cash for licensing rights on the original film, back when it didn't mean much more than action figures and lunchboxes). So, it's no surprise that the stores are filled with Star Wars product, some of it barely worth a spot in Watto's junk shop. PC Magazine took a well-timed look at some of the gear, including the talking Yoda bot and Intec's Star Wars Jedi Hunter Wireless Controller, which at about $25, includes an "exclusive light saber button" (which works mainly with Lucas' Ep III game,
natch). If you're planning to battle the dark side on your XBox or PS2, it might be worth a try; then again, for wireless light saber action on the cheap, you can always just use a
Pringles can instead.
