Let the dark side watch over your reading material. This set of bookends features both Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper. These guys look great at each end of a book, comic or DVD collection. No one would be foolish enough to mess with your stuff with these two on guard. But if anyone tries, I bet they approach from the Stormtrooper side given their aim and all.

Ubtech is releasing a Stormtrooper robot. While you can’t teach it to shoot straight, you can use voice commands to instruct it to scare off intruders. It packs facial recognition tech inside that also allows it to store up to three faces in its memory bank. So it will know who the intruders are. Like everything else these days, it comes with a mobile app that has an augmented reality game that lets you fight off the Resistance and launch First Order attacks. Sounds like a pretty awesome Christmas gift this year huh? Who is getting me one? The robot is available for pre-order from Ubtech right now, and will ship in November for $300.

Starbucks really should be using some of these designs by Ryan Spencer on their coffee cups. They’re missing out on a ton of geek dollars. They could have different characters represent special flavors. I know I would be buying my coffee there if they offered these cups.
This is an amazing replica of Jyn Erso’s Stormtrooper doll from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It is an 11″ tall polymer clay figure that is strung together with thick waxed cotton cord. It looks completely authentic, just like the one in Star Wars Rogue One. This is one of those neat toys that are fun just to display somewhere in your house, so you can occasionally look at it and pick it up and play with it. Just makes you smile.
This is not your grandmother’s Stormtrooper figure- Actually, maybe it is. Kinda looks like her fine china. That’s because it is supposed to. This Porcelain Pattern Stormtrooper Figure by Hot Toys is inspired by the blue-and-white porcelain motif sometimes called Blue Willow, which originated centuries ago in China! It is actually a very beautiful take on the classic Stormtrooper. The pattern has an Imperial twist on the helmet and armor, blasters, interchangeable hands, and a specially designed figure stand! This is not your everyday Imperial soldier.
Andreas Bazylewski used two separate photos to create this awesome Centurion Stormtrooper. One was of a Clone Trooper body, the other of the Roman Stormtrooper helmet. He put the images together and then into an old Roman painting. The end result is this cool Centurion Stormtrooper, which is going to make sense one day when the Empire figures out time travel.
Álvaro Ortiz López, from Jalisco, México, is one of the Huichol. One of their traditions is their beaded art which can take many forms, like jaguar heads and other folklore themes. This art is also applied to various helmets and masks. In this case he used the force and combined this tradition with Star Wars, to create this Darth Vader and Stormtrooper mask.
Chase Kunz is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Seattle, Washington and is responsible for these illustrations of Star Wars characters in retro suits. You can easily picture Boba Fett as a Don Draper type, working in an ad agency as he self-destructs. There’s also a Scout Trooper, Stormtrooper, Darth Vader and a Tie Pilot. It creates a vintage world where everyone has a Star wars head and something inside of me loves that concept.
