R2-D2 Water Bottle
This sculptured water bottle features the famous Astromech R2-D2 (played by Kenny Baker in the "Star Wars" films) and holds 12 oz. of liquid. Imported from Japan, this bottle measures just under 5 inches wide and 8 inches tall and comes with a carry strap included. This is an ideal "Star Wars" gift for children to take to school or the geeky office worker to take with his lunch.
Tauntaun Sleeping Bag
This 100-percent polyester sleeping bag resembles a Tauntaun, one of the species of reptomammals native to Hoth, the ice planet that the Rebellion called home after the destruction of the first Death Star. "Star Wars" fans will remember that Han Solo cut one of these beasts open and stuffed the dying Luke Skywalker inside to keep him warm until help could arrive. This sleeping bag recreates that classic scene from the movies and even includes a lightsaber zipper pull. The sleeping bag measures 33 inches by 67 inches.
Darth Vader Toaster
This sleek black toaster features a stylized "Star Wars" graphic on the side. However, this isn't just another toaster. It burns a stylized image of feared Sith lord Darth Vader's helmet into the bread as it toasts it. In addition to multiple darkness settings, the toaster can be programmed to preheat items or recognize when frozen food
Lightsaber Chopsticks
These chopsticks consist of clear colored plastic and light up when in use. The ends of the chopsticks look like the hilts of various lightsabers seen in the "Star Wars" films. These eating utensils add a unique flair to any meal and come in sets of two (Darth Vader/Yoda or Yoda/Luke.)
Talking Yoda USB Desk Protector
This device resembles Jedi Master Yoda and plugs into your PC's USB drive. The motion sensors detect when someone or something passes by, causing Yoda's lightsaber to fire up. The desk protector utters six phrases in the Jedi Master's uniquely quirky speech pattern. The unit stands roughly 6 inches tall and cost around $28 in 2010.
Golf Club Covers

Designed to look like either Chewbacca (Han Solo's Wookie friend) or Darth Vader (dark lord of the Sith and Luke Skywalker's estranged father) these covers fit any standard-size driver, and you could purchase them online for around $25 in 2010.
