Jun 26 2008R2-D2 And Darth Vader USB Hubs Are Legit
It's a well known fact that USB hubs come in all shapes and sizes, so it was only a matter of time before some company licensed a few Star Wars models. And here they are: R2-D2 and Darth Vader. R2 moves his head from side to side and lights up and makes boopity beep boop noises and Vader's eyes glow red and he breathes heavy while he, too, turns his head. They'll be available next month for about $66 and I'm definitely buying an R2. Or, I dunno, demanding one in exchange for not writing a scathing review.
Hit the jump for a video of the hubs in action!

My girlfriend breathes heavily when i insert my usb into her hub too . . . the only difference is that she makes me turn MY head and calls out her old boyfriend's name.

I'm sorry... I did not know Darth Vader's eyes lit up. Gay.

Spaceballs was by far a better movie than any of the three most recent pieces of crap that Lucas tried to pass off on us as Star Wars.

Is Julian auditioning to be the Geekologie Guys's geekier, less funny brother or something?
